Not since Ricky Gervais went after Hollywood during his monologue have we enjoyed watching a host 'owning' their audience so much. We suppose if more people in the entertainment industry were honest to begin with, it wouldn't be such a big deal when it happens.
Shane Gillis was every American out there last night when he forced the audience attending the ESPYS to admit they don't know any WNBA players.
This was brilliant.
Watch:
Shane Gillis tricked the ESPYS crowd into believing his friend’s wife was a WNBA star 😭

And there it is.

That would be the scold-filled, humorless media. Every single time.
