Comedian Shane Gillis said he “didn\u2019t like” UFC heavyweight Josh Hokit\u2019s crude post-fight remark about former first lady Michelle Obama<\/a> after Hokit defeated Derrick Lewis at Sunday\u2019s UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?” Hokit said to the crowd at the end of the interview.<\/p>\n

The comment drew a mixed reaction from the crowd, with some attendees laughing while others appeared less amused.<\/p>\n

Gillis, one of many celebrities who attended the spectacle<\/a>, told reporters he “didn\u2019t love it” when asked what he thought about Hokit’s remark.<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t like that sh–,” he reiterated.<\/p>\n

Gillis has faced criticism over controversial jokes and past remarks throughout his career as a stand-up comedian.<\/p>\n

He was fired from “Saturday Night Live” in 2019 before appearing as a new cast member in season 45, after clips surfaced of him using a slur aimed at Asian people on his podcast.<\/p>\n

The comedian was fired from Saturday Night Live<\/a> in 2019 before appearing in his debut as a new cast member in season 45 for making racist remarks \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

But despite his own history of controversial comedy, Gillis repeatedly said he didn’t like Hokit’s remark.<\/p>\n

“Yeah I didn\u2019t like that,” Gillis said. “But whatever, he was funny.”<\/p>\n

Gillis was also asked by Fox News Digital for his opinion on President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s job performance in office as he was leaving the White House event put together by the administration on Trump\u2019s 80th birthday.<\/p>\n

“Nothing,” he said.<\/p>\n

Gillis interrupted a follow-up question regarding cancel culture<\/a>, an issue that continues to impact public figures’ careers, particularly comedians like Gillis who are often scrutinized for crossing lines in their comedic routines.<\/p>\n

“You guys got me on a couple brewskis,” Gillis told Fox News Digital in the middle of being asked about cancel culture.<\/p>\n

The event marked the first UFC event ever hosted<\/a> at the White House, and what will be the last in history, according to UFC President and CEO Dana White, referring to the event as a one-time spectacle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
