\n\tWhen he returned to host Saturday Night Live<\/em> for a third time over the weekend, comedian Shane Gillis garnered a lot of attention for his monologue \u2014 and the response has been heated. One of the most vocal critics was Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/em> star Dan Levy, who posted an Instagram video on Sunday to explain why he took issue with the monologue, and to one part in particular.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe joke in question was when Gillis said, \u201cI haven\u2019t been to the gym in so long, I didn\u2019t know women just dress like whores now? I\u2019m sorry, there\u2019s no other way to describe. Have you seen it? I\u2019ve seen it. The shorts. Have you seen the shorts?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his response video, captioned \u201cFfs,\u201d Levy said in part, \u201cWomen wearing short shorts at the gym does not make them whores; it makes the men calling them whores misogynists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHis comments section was flooded with support, including from a handful of music stars. Jewel thanked Levy, while Wicked<\/em> star Kristin Chenoweth posted a \u201c100\u201d emoji and Lisa Loeb commented alongside a fire emoji \u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tMaggie Baird, the activist mother of Billie Eilish and FINNEAS, shared Levy\u2019s video to her Instagram Story with her own lengthy caption. \u201cThank you [Dan Levy]!\u201d she started. \u201cI literally gasped when [Shane Gillis] said this on [SNL<\/em>]. I felt it physically (and was reminded of the horrible Bill Burr monologue),\u201d she added, referencing Burr\u2019s controversial 2020 appearance on the sketch comedy show, when he complained that white women had hijacked the \u201cwoke\u201d movement and that Pride Month shouldn\u2019t be so long. Baird continued: \u201cI come from the sketch comedy world and am not squeamish around comedy, but how can men and comedy writers still think this is funny! It\u2019s actually dangerous for women to promote this bullsh\u2013.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFlavor Flav also platformed Levy\u2019s video, sharing an article about his response on X with the message: \u201cImportant allyship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMaren Morris added to the discourse in her own Instagram post as well, with the message \u201cme being a wh0re at the gym\u201d across a video of herself soundtracked by her song \u201cbe a bitch.\u201d In the video, she throws up a middle finger to the camera and finished it off with the caption: \u201cleave my gym short wedgie out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGillis hosted Saturday\u2019s show with Rosal\u00eda as the musical guest. In addition to it being his third time hosting, Gillis was also briefly a cast member of the show, but he was dismissed soon after the announcement of his casting when previous homophobic and racist jokes of his resurfaced.<\/p>\n
