Shane Gillis, one of three new “SNL” cast members announced Thursday morning, can be seen using a racial slur in a resurfaced video posted to a YouTube channel called Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast.

“Chinatown’s f—ing nuts,” Gillis says to comedian Matt McCusker in a segment of the longer YouTube video, which has been deleted. “Let the f—ing ch-nks live there.”

The video was brought to Variety‘s attention by Seth Simons, a freelance writer and editor who covers comedy and posted a clip of the footage on Twitter. Later in the video, which dates from Sept. 26, 2018, Gillis talks about going to Chinese restaurants.

“The translation between you and the waiter is such a f—ing hassle, I’m pointing at it,” he says.

The video appears to be from a podcast recording of Gillis’ two-man show, which airs on the Bonfire on Sirius XM. According to Gillis’ website, the “Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast” is available on iTunes.

During the same podcast recording, Gillis comments that their conversation is “nice racism, good racism.”

Representatives for Gillis and NBC did not immediately reply to Variety‘s request for comment.

Gillis was unveiled alongside Chloe Fineman and Bowen Yang, the first full-time cast member of East Asian descent, Thursday morning as joining the long-running NBC sketch comedy series. He was recently recognized as a New Face at the 2019 Just for Laughs Festival.

News of the new cast members comes approximately two weeks after it was announced that Leslie Jones would be exiting the series after five seasons. It had been speculated at that time that Kate McKinnon would also be leaving the show, but she is poised to return when “SNL” begins its new season on Sept. 28 with host Woody Harrelson and musical guest Billie Eilish.

Shitty woke Philly open micers that the young bull Gillis had previously dabbed on were out in force on twitter trying to drag him down.

Yay, more cancel culture. Whoopee.
Ruining people's lives over them using naughty words once is the best form of justice, right?

Well...he's fucked. SNL is high-tier woke. Nobody's gonna like him on the TV.

Feels over reals for this fallen man who didn't even get to rise. His comedy career is literally fucked. Holy shit.

If someone is on current SNL, there was never a comedy career to speak of.

WOAH, I listen to his podcast "Matt and Shane's Secret podcast," which is pretty hilarious, I had no idea he even was joining SNL.
Makes sense why recently they pulled a lot of their podcast backlog to remove the wild wild west theme from the beginning of the show they used without permission lol.

But I'm not surprised with this, their brand of humor is very much not-PC, and in the vein of cumtown (they were actually on an episode not that long ago, and Nick Mullen has been on the secret podcast live event too.) They literally have names for races based on jokes they've done ('tokyo partners' for japanese, the foreigners for Indians, etc)

The biggest surprise though is that he was even considered for SNL based on his humor. I don't know how this whole thing will affect it though.

 

[The Last Stand]

Reminds me of the neighborhood snitch that tattles on you for using a curse word outside of home.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

I can't wait for the devil to come for SNL's blood

 

[Iron Hamster]

Obviously this opens doors for a job at funimation

 

[Adolf Honkler]

Wow, SNL hires someone slightly funny for the first time in years and people have to ruin it. Thanks, social media.

Some fat white liberal cuck is a racist #StoryOfTheCentury!

Not even close buddy..Listen to his podcast, hes not very liberal from the jokes he tells, and is hilarious.
And for the whole 'fat, white cuck' thing, the dude played offensive tackle for WEST POINT. Well, maybe still fat, but understandable now since he was a freakin college offensive tackle.

To be fair, expecting SNL to ever be funny is a pipe dream.

SNL is a waste anyways, it's like taking sponsorship money from current-year GameStop.

Jost and Che need to be lynched. Lorne needs to be tarred and feathered
