General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[King Kong Booty]

Penta got so over I think they decided to wait til that died down and then build up them getting back together to get them over again. Double dip the Penta chip so to speak.

Shane Gillis to host the ESPYs.

 

[Doom]

I'd wish they had other options instead of him TBH.

 

[King Kong Booty]

I like Shane but not sure that’s the right fit for his comedy style.

 

[Doom]

Exactly. He also was fired from SNL for racist and homophobic remarks last year and somehow fight his way back to be relevant again.

 

[Butters]

This is the first im ever hearing of this guy

 

[Doom]

That's unless he really learned his lesson like Kyle Larson when he dropped the N word during an iRacing event in 2020.

 

[Doom]

Besides, I'd rather see a former athlete or a coach, to host the ESPYs, since it's about sports not comedians.

 

[Doom]

I'd take that back. It's 2019 when Gillis got fired from SNL.

 

[King Kong Booty]

Exactly. He also was fired from SNL for racist and homophobic remarks last year and somehow fight his way back to be relevant again.

that is completely false, he was fired from SNL 5 years ago cuz of an Asian joke he made on a podcast years before that. They’ve since had him on numerous time as a guess host and the Asian Gay cast member of SNL Bowen Yang has publicly stated his support for Gillis after that because it was a silly joke. He’s also been a hugely successful stand up since and has a show on Netflix that just dropped it’s second season.

 

[R-Troop]

Typically the best hosts for events like this are comedians or other stage performers.

 

[Doom]

Okay I'm wrong, as usual.

 

[King Kong Booty]

This is the first im ever hearing of this guy

he’s not on a video game so I’mnot shocked

 

[Butters]

Ricky Gervais should host everything

 

[Butters]

Him or Conan
