Shane Michael Gillis is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and podcaster. He started performing stand-up in 2012, and in 2016, along with fellow stand-up comedian Matt McCusker, began co-hosting Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast, the most subscribed-to podcast on Patreon as of 2024. Gillis had a breakout year in 2019; the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal named him one of its "New Faces" in July, and in September he was announced as a newly hired cast member on NBC's sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live (SNL). He subsequently became the subject of controversy and was fired after five days at SNL due to backlash over clips from his podcast from 2018 in which he and his co-host used derogatory language, including racial and homophobic slurs. This controversy sparked a discussion about context and intent when certain topics are used for comedic purposes. (From Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
