From the Hollywood Reporter, the TV editor himself.

Brother Tony Maglio.

What's

going on there, Mags? I'll tell you what's going on is you guys got all the awards and the accolades.

like guile's hair in the game and then some of the moves that are like really really cartoonish magic i was just hoping they dialed them back a little bit like i know we have to have dolls and with limbs that you know stretch i get all of that but i don't really want to see an uppercut go four stories into the air to be honest with

you All right, all right, Devon.

So Tony Maglio, now you see why he and I are friends, because he doesn't like that egg-sucking dog Cody Rhodes either.

So go ahead.

It just ain't going to happen.

And next week, listen, Tony Maglio, we want you back on the show, brother.

Tony Maglio, the Hollywood reporter, we need your help in breaking this down even further because this is interesting.

This is an interesting development that no one had ever opened up our eyes to before.

This is an inside job when you really think about it.

It feels like the start of a brainstorm, not something you put on national TV.

So yeah, the reaction is bonkers, but I'll bet that if Gillis had workshopped the bit for a few more weeks before taking it on stage, there wouldn't have been a reaction at all." In The Hollywood Reporter, Tony Maglio writes, "I'll leave it to individual opinions as to whether or not Shane Gillis' joke is offensive and to what degree, but one thing is for sure, it was not built for the SNL audience in 2026." Tony writes, "SNL attracts liberal talent and a similar audience.

It films in New York City, and its main target is Donald Trump.

The show's writers and cast members are generally a diverse group of Gen Z-ers that came up in improv, sketch and stand-up comedy.

Okay, but the Hollywood reporter is very upset about it as well.

Tony Maglio writing, "Maybe it's a good thing Shane Gillis was fired by Saturday Night Live before he even got started.

On Saturday, Gillis rubbed a whole lot of people the wrong way with several jokes in his SNL monologue, kind of like he did the first two times he hosted.

The main culprit this past weekend was an observational quip Gillis made about how women dress in the gym.
