David Spade weighs in on Shane Gillis: When I was on ‘SNL,’ people didn’t ‘rifle through your past to make sure you get fired’

David Spade tried not to weigh in on Shane Gillis’s firing from "Saturday Night Live" — as an alum of the show — but that didn’t exactly work out. On Monday’s "Lights Out With David Spade" he brought up Gillis, who was hired on the NBC comedy show last week only to be fired days later after racist remarks he made about Asians surfaced. While Spade initially gave the floor to his guests, comedians Jim Jefferies and Bill Burr, so he could “stay out of the fray” due to his connection to the show, he ended up giving his opinion anyway.
