Shane Gillis' SNL Joke About Women Sparks ABSURD Backlash

A joke about women's gym clothes becomes a question about how to read a comedian's persona on After Party with Emily Jashinsky. Jashinsky argues that Shane Gillis's Saturday Night Live material belongs alongside his jokes at his own expense, including a routine about his haircut.

This is a split-screen commentary clip, not Gillis's monologue itself. It drew an estimated 38,000 views in its first day, roughly fourteen times the channel's usual Shorts start.

Jashinsky scrolls through critical posts on X and challenges the suggestion that Gillis bombed. "He did not actually bomb," she says, arguing that the studio audience responded more positively than at his previous appearances. That's her assessment of the performance, rather than a verdict the clip independently establishes.

Her defense goes beyond comic delivery: she argues that the gym-clothing premise reflects something she sees in everyday life. The conversation then shifts from Gillis to expectations around women's sexuality, with her guest questioning whether messages about liberation and modesty fit together. A haircut joke supplies Jashinsky's starting point; competing cultural expectations become the larger subject.
