Ego Nwodim Reacts To Shane Gillis’ Controversial ‘SNL’ Joke: “Whore Reporting For Duty”

Ego Nwodim is firing back at Shane Gillis after a sexist joke during his Saturday Night Live monologue.

The SNL alum took to Instagram to jab at the stand-up comedian after his controversial joke on the NBC late-night sketch show.

“Whore reporting for duty,” Nwodim captioned her Instagram Stories post as she took a selfie during her workout.

Hours later, Nwodim shared an update with a photo of her post-workout meal, adding, “Getting my 30 grams of protein after heauxing.”

Gillis hosted SNL on Saturday, October 10, and made a joke during his monologue that has gotten everyone abuzz.

“I haven’t been to the gym in so long, I didn’t know women just dress like whores now?” Gillis said on the late-night show.

He continued, “Look, I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe [it]. Have you seen it? I’ve seen it. The shorts. Have you seen the shorts? Those neon, they’re like artificial bait-colored. And the wrinkles go around the cheeks and all combined at the butthole. And don’t look, you’re not allowed to look. For real, don’t look because they are filming. I’m in the background of like 10 TikToks right now.”

Dan Levy also took to social media to address the joke, saying, “Women wearing short shorts at the gym does not make them whores. It makes the men calling them whores misogynists. There’s a difference there. By the way, I’ve seen more men’s nipples at the gym than I’ve ever seen women showing their bodies off.”

He continued, “I’m speechless that something like that can exist on live national television. And to be perfectly honest, more men need to be standing up in opposition to it because it’s complacency that has created the environment in which women are sexually assaulted and it’s a ‘conversation’ as opposed to a ‘crime.’”
