Hey everyone, today's video is on Shane Gillis and his story from starting comedy in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania in 2012 and then now in 2026 becoming the biggest comedian working by breaking two world records after selling out the Lincoln Financial Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Shane's story from getting on Saturday Night Live, to getting fired from the show for his podcast, to performing at Comedy Central's Clusterfest and Just For Laughs in Montreal, to returning back to Saturday Night Live to host the show twice, to releasing two successful comedy specials, and getting his own sitcom titled Tires on Netflix Shane has achieved everything he could've possibly wanted just by being himself and trusting his ability to be funny even when some people didn't like him.
