Shane Gillis Draws Line at Trump’s VIP Room—Then Jabs Nate Bargatze

Getty MAGA-friendly comedian Shane Gillis may have been willing to attend Trump’s UFC birthday cage fight at the White House, but he drew the line at being photographed inside his VIP room— unlike America’s top-selling comedian, Nate Bargatze .

Gillis made the reveal during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience on Thursday, where he discussed the experience with Rogan—who acted as the evening’s master of ceremonies—and fellow comedians Mark Normand and Ari Shaffir.

“Let’s stop bringing that up,” Gillis said as Rogan mentioned the UFC fight on the White House lawn.

“They asked me to go in the VIP room, I said, ‘No way,’” Gillis revealed.

The gathering space for the MAGA elite was where Bargatze shared photos with Robert F.

Kennedy Jr., his wife, Cheryl Hines, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee, Rogan, and others.

Rogan previously revealed that he’d talked “a bunch” of his friends into going to the fight.

“Shane Gillis was thinking about not going,” he said in June, “I’m like, bro, you got to go.

It’s going to be epic.

It’s going to be a once-ever thing.

Not a once-in-a-lifetime, once in anybody’s lifetime.

It’s never happened before.

It’s probably never going to happen again.” Rogan added, responding to backlash some of his peers received, “So many people are trying to make it a partisan thing.

They’re mad at people for being there.
