Shane Gillis is an American stand-up comedian, writer, and podcast host, known for his sharp wit and controversial comedic style. Born on December 11, 1987, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Gillis developed a love for comedy at an early age. He attended West Chester University, where he earned a degree in political science, but it was in comedy that he truly found his calling.
After establishing himself in the New York comedy scene, Gillis gained national attention when he was announced as a new cast member on “Saturday Night Live” in 2019. However, his tenure was short-lived due to backlash over past comments, leading to his departure just days after the announcement. Despite this setback, Gillis has continued to thrive in the world of comedy through his stand-up shows and his podcast, "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast," which he co-hosts with fellow comedian Matt McCusker.
