Comedian Shane Gillis said he “didn’t like” UFC heavyweight Josh Hokit’s crude post-fight remark about former first lady Michelle Obama after Hokit defeated Derrick Lewis at Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.Hokit made the comment inside the Octagon during a post-fight interview with UFC commentator Joe Rogan, claiming without evidence that Michelle Obama is a man.“Michelle Obama is a man.Am I right, America?” Hokit said to the crowd at the end of the interview.The comment drew a mixed reaction from the crowd, with some attendees laughing while others appeared less amused.Gillis, one of many celebrities who attended the spectacle, told reporters he “didn’t love it” when asked what he thought about Hokit’s remark.“I didn’t like that sh–,” he reiterated.Gillis has faced criticism over controversial jokes and past remarks throughout his career as a stand-up comedian.The comedian was fired from Saturday Night Live in 2019 before appearing in his debut as a new cast member in season 45 for making racist remarks — a viral clip showing him using a slur aimed at Asian people on his podcast.

More clips continued to circulate of him making racist jokes and using offensive language online.Gillis initially took to X to apologize for what he said on the podcast, but later deleted the tweet.He went on to build a successful career for himself in the comedy sphere, continuing to insert what can be viewed as racially insensitive jokes into his skits.But despite his own history of controversial comedy, Gillis repeatedly said he didn’t like Hokit’s remark.“Yeah I didn’t like that,” Gillis said.
