Saturday Night Live alum Ego Nwodim is firing back at Shane Gillis after the comedian performed a monologue on the sketch comedy series that many fans found sexist and offensive.
During the Saturday, Oct. 10, episode of the late night show, the comedian gave a controversial monologue where he called women who wear athletic clothes to the gym “whores.”
“Also, I haven’t been to the gym in so long. I didn’t know women just dressed like whores now,” Gillis said.
“Look, I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe… 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, the wrinkles go like around the cheeks and all combined at the butthole,” he continued. “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.”
Gillis’s comments have received widespread criticism online, and now Nwodim is seemingly chiming in. On Monday, Oct. 12, Nwodim—who starred on the series as a main cast member from 2020 to 2025—appeared to issue a response via her Instagram Story.
“whore reporting for duty,” Nwodim wrote alongside a photo of her at the gym.
She then seemingly posted another response, sharing a photo of her lunch and writing, “getting my 30 grams of protein in after heauxing.”

After a screenshot of the apparent jab towards Gillis was shared to social media, SNL fans praised the actress and comedian for taking a stand.
“Actress and comedian that is actually funny,” wrote one fan on Reddit.
“The SNL death spiral got so much worse when we lost Ego. A gem and a great comedian,” said another.
“That’s how you make people laugh, Shane,” added a third.
Gillis has yet to address his controversial comments. However, he did apologize after accidentally dropping an uncensored F-bomb live on air during Saturday’s show.
