Shane Gillis Sets the Stage Ablaze at the ESPYS

Shane Gillis took center stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles during the ESPYS, delivering a monologue that had the audience roaring with laughter.

No Shortage of Bold Jokes

The 37-year-old comedian didn't hold back as he tackled a range of controversial topics and high-profile athletes. From poking fun at NFL legend Bill Belichick and the intriguing dynamic with Jordon Hudson to calling out NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for his knack for drawing fouls, Gillis had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. He even took a jab at Karl-Anthony Towns, showcasing his fearless comedic style.

Caitlin Clark Joke Takes Center Stage

However, the highlight of his set might just be the biting commentary regarding WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark's challenges on the court. Gillis quipped, "When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most: fist fighting Black women." Although Clark wasn't present to hear the joke, laughter erupted from the audience, clearly amused by his audacity.

A Dark Twist on Current Events

Gillis didn’t shy away from darker humor either. Reference to the notorious Epstein saga caught everyone's attention when he remarked, "There's supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but I guess it got deleted. Probably deleted itself, right? Probably never existed, actually. Let's move on." This unexpected turn left the audience in a mix of shock and laughter.

More Laughs Await!

As the evening unfolded, with many stars still in their seats, fans eagerly anticipated more sharp-witted remarks from Gillis, proving that the ESPYS were not just about honoring athletes but also providing a platform for genuine comedy.
