A new cast member on Saturday Night Live has apologised to “anyone actually offended” after his history of racist and homophobic comments was unearthed.
Shane Gillis, who was announced yesterday as a new cast member on the long-running sketch comedy series, wrote on Twitter that he is “a comedian who pushes boundaries”.
An Asian trying to learn English bothers me more than someone listening to Lil Uzi Vert while I’m trying to eat f***ing dinner.”
My intention is never to hurt anyone but I am trying to be the best comedian I can be and sometimes that requires risks.”
