He didn’t say that, and I don’t think he’d agree with any statements implying that he has been. The racist podcast jokes that surfaced during his SNL stint weren’t terribly defensible, but he’s never seemed like the type to cry cancel culture. I recall he shrugged off his SNL firing pretty quickly. Maybe he’s said otherwise more recently, I dunno.
FWIW his whole career arc seems like what would happen if SNL tried to hire Nick Mullen.
I was making more of a joke about the trend of comedians whining about being canceled while on stage, like Dave Chappel. No idea if Gillis did it himself or not.
Oh OK, yeah. Good grief Chappelle is fucking intolerable these days. And I don’t think it’s all chalked up to him changing, I feel like cowriters kept him from punching down too hard back in the day.
Yeah, I liked him a lot more before his stand up routine became about how he was ‘canceled’ and had one trans fan. I just don’t get how he didn’t understand the latter was the same thing as having ‘one black friend’.
