What is Shane Gillis’ Net Worth?
With a net worth of $4 million, Shane Gillis is an American comedian, YouTuber, and podcaster. His appearances on “The Doug Stanhope Podcast,” Comedy Central Radio, Sirius XM, and various other podcasts have made him well-known. Shane gained some notoriety for his short stint as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live,” from which he was dismissed shortly after his hiring was announced, due to his jokes being viewed as controversial and offensive. He made a comeback in 2021 with his comedy special “Shane Gillis: Live in Austin.” Since then, he has experienced significant success in both touring and podcasting. In February 2024, Shane received an invitation to host SNL with musical guest 21 Savage. A few months later, he starred in the Netflix series “Tires,” which he co-created, wrote, and helped produce.
Early Life
On December 11th, 1987, Shane Gillis was born in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Growing up on the outskirts of Harrisburg, he played as an offensive tackle on his high school football team. After completing high school in 2006, he briefly attended West Point before graduating from West Chester University.
Career
Shane began his stand-up career in 2012, performing regularly in Harrisburg. Seeking more opportunities, he moved to Philadelphia and reached the podium at Philly’s Phunniest tournament in 2015, eventually winning the tournament in 2016. During this time, comedians like Bill Burr, Norm Macdonald, Dave Chappelle, and Louis CK heavily influenced him. 2016 also marked the start of his podcasting journey with “Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast.” Over the following years, he made frequent appearances on podcasts such as “The Bonfire” and launched another podcast titled “A Fair One.”
In 2019, Shane received an invitation from Comedy Central to perform at Clusterfest and earned recognition as a “New Face” at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal.
Saturday Night Live
Shane was announced as one of the new cast members of “Saturday Night Live,” but was dropped almost immediately due to public backlash caused by a YouTube clip featuring derogatory terms. Although Shane tweeted an apology, the creator of “Saturday Night Live” quickly decided to remove him from the cast. In response, Gillis argued that his clips were taken out of context and that he had been misquoted in several news articles, ultimately retracting his initial apology.

Success After SNL
Although this setback was significant, Gillis continued to perform and earn critical acclaim. In 2020, he was honored as Stand-Up Comedian of the Year at The Interrobang’s Sixth Annual Comedy Awards. Following this, Gillis launched a web series
“Gilly and Keeves,” a show that showcased various notable skits, was part of Shane’s work. He released his debut live comedy special, “Shane Gillis: Live in Austin,” in 2021. Available for free on YouTube, this special ultimately garnered over 3 million views and received positive reviews from critics, earning the second spot in official rankings on “The Laugh Button.”
Shane’s fame saw a significant boost in 2021 after his appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” He spoke about his dismissal from “SNL” during his first visit, sharing his personal perspective on the issue. In his second appearance, he was joined by comedians Mark Normand and Ari Shaffir, where he disclosed that he had been touring with Louis CK. These podcast appearances marked a significant advancement in Shane’s career, as the “JRE” podcast attracts hundreds of millions of viewers globally. However, these episodes sparked some controversy, especially when Joe Rogan commented that gay and transgender individuals are the “most vicious” advocates of transgender culture. He also mentioned that “SNL” has a tendency to appropriate material from stand-up comedians.
In 2024, Shane took on the roles of star, writer, and producer for the Netflix comedy series “Tires.”
