Nothing was off limits for comedian Shane Gillis as he hosted the 2025 ESPY Awards and made a snide Caitlin Clark joke about her post-WNBA future.
Comedian Shane Gillis was tapped to host the ESPYs on Wednesday night, and he had a crass zinger for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark during one of his opening monologues.
Gillis, who is also an actor on the Netflix series « Tires », had a little something for everyone while he was on stage in Los Angeles. Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders were also among the targets.
But Gillis mapped out Clark’s future after she’s finished with the WNBA.
« When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she’s going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most — fist-fighting Black women », he said to polite laughter from the crowd.
