appearing in Saturday night live can help you become president, but No appearing in SNL apparently has many benefits of its own: Morgan Wallen’s career is much bigger now than he was before he was kicked out of a musical concert invited by not wearing a mask in public in 2020 (a scandal that was soon overshadowed by bigger one which everyone quickly forgot about as well), and now it all seems to be coming to Shane Gillis. After getting a place in the SNL issued in 2019 and then losing it four days later when the program decided to search for it on Google, Gillis returned to host the venerable NBC sketch show this weekend—Having found new success among the Joe Rogan crowd as a guy who tells it like it is or whatever.
So, in a sense, being fired from SNL I have it on SNLand now it’s giving you even more: According The Hollywood ReporterNetflix signed a deal with Gillis to give him his own show and a second stand-up special (the first, beautiful dogs, released last year). The show, called Tires, is based on a pilot that Gillis had posted on YouTube (it appears to be no longer available, at least in its entirety). It is about the “nervous and unconditional heir to an automobile repair chain” who tries to maintain the business will of his father while facing “the constant torture of his cousin and now employee.” Gillis will play the devious cousin. THR says the show will premiere on May 23, which is a big change.
In addition to the stand-up special, Netflix will have Gillis perform two stand-up shows at its Netflix Is A Joke comedy festival in May, so he’s clearly eager to be in the Shane Gillis business. What if he had never been fired? SNLI would probably still be in SNL!
