Kathy Griffin Criticizes Shane Gillis, Citing Joe Rogan's Influence on Comedians

Comedian Kathy Griffin has publicly criticized Shane Gillis, a recent Saturday Night Live host, along with other comedians she labels as "hacks." Griffin specifically pointed to Gillis's controversial monologue, which included jokes about women wearing shorts at the gym, and suggested that these comedians are operating "under Joe Rogan's influence." She asserted that many of these comedians tend to repeat the same jokes.

Griffin's remarks come as Gillis faces backlash for his hosting appearance. The veteran comedian's comments suggest a broader critique of contemporary comedy trends and the perceived impact of influential figures like Joe Rogan on the material and style of other performers in the industry.
