‘SNL’ Veteran Goes Nuclear on MAGA-Friendly Host’s Gym Joke

The Daily Beast/Getty/NBC Paula Pell has become the latest Saturday Night Live alum to call out comedian Shane Gillis.

Pell, 63, fired back at Gillis, 38, for his remarks during last weekend’s guest stint on the NBC sketch show.

“Having any observation about a gym other than he went only once to shower when his building turned off the water and he had s--t himself taking a nap would be pure fiction,” Pell, who spent nearly two decades writing for the show, posted in a scathing takedown .

The Emmy-award-winning comedian made her case against Gillis after the latter joked about women and their gym attire last Saturday.

In his opening monologue, he declared, “I haven’t been to the gym in so long, I didn’t know women just dress like wh--es now.

Look, I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe—have you seen it?” “The shorts.

Have you seen the shorts?” he continued.

“Those neon, they’re like artificial bait-colored.

And the wrinkles go around the cheeks and all combined at the butthole.

And don’t look; you’re not allowed to look.

For real, don’t look because they are filming.

I’m in the background of like 10 TikToks right now.” Other SNL stars and alumni have called out Gillis for the misogynistic material.

Saturday Night Live veteran Ego Nwodim made a facetious comment on her Instagram Stories, posting a photo of herself at the gym with the caption, “Wh--e reporting for duty.” Cecily Strong , the show’s longest-running female cast member, also posted a fiery Instagram Story.

“On my way to Pilates in my new sl--ty a-- orange shoes and rainbow socks,” she wrote alongside a picture of her gym attire.
