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.
