Dan Levy Blasts Shane Gillis Over Misogynistic SNL Monologue...
ConsequenceOctober 12, 2026
Shane Gillis used his SNL hosting debut this past weekend to joke about women's gym attire, calling women who wear athletic shorts "whores" and describing their clothing in explicit detail. Dan Levy responded on Instagram, arguing that the monologue conflated women's choice in workout gear with moral judgment, and connected casual misogyny on mainstream television to broader patterns of objectification that enable sexual assault. His post gained backing from actors and musicians including Reese Witherspoon and Elizabeth Banks, sparking a larger conversation about the responsibility of platforms and male voices to challenge dehumanizing commentary about women.
