Shane Gillis recently delivered a sharp takedown of Joe Biden during his Saturday Night Live monologue. The comedian didn’t hold back, poking fun at Biden’s age and rambling speeches. Gillis joked about missing the “good old days” when Biden would stumble through press conferences, saying it was like watching a “confused grandpa at a family BBQ.” The crowd roared as Gillis imitated Biden mumbling about ice cream or forgetting where he was.
Conservatives cheered the routine, calling it a long-overdue roast of a president who’s lost touch. Gillis’ jokes hit harder because they come from a place of relatability. He doesn’t sound like a political pundit—he sounds like your uncle at Thanksgiving dinner. His down-to-earth style makes the criticism sting even more for liberals trying to defend Biden’s gaffes.
The backlash from the left was immediate. Critics called Gillis “mean-spirited” and accused him of punching down. But let’s be real—Biden’s team has spent years mocking Trump’s every move. Gillis’ comedy just levels the playing field. He’s not afraid to say what half the country is thinking: the White House is being run by a guy who can’t remember his own policies.
Gillis’ rise in comedy is a win for free speech. After being canceled by SNL in 2019 over old jokes, he built a massive fanbase through podcasts and independent specials. His success proves audiences are tired of woke comedians tiptoeing around truth. They want raw, unfiltered humor—even if it bruises a few liberal egos.
The fact that SNL invited him back says it all. The show’s ratings have tanked in recent years due to its left-wing slant. Bringing in Gillis, a comedian who connects with Middle America, was a desperate grab for relevance. And guess what? It worked. His episode became one of the most-watched in years.
In the end, Gillis’ Biden roast isn’t just about jokes. It’s a reflection of how ordinary Americans see this administration: out-of-touch, incompetent, and borderline embarrassing. While Hollywood liberals clutch their pearls, the rest of the country is laughing—because sometimes the truth is funnier than fiction.
