Given that Shane Gillis was famously fired from “Saturday Night Live” for using a racial slur, one might imagine he’d tread a little carefully during his stunning return to the show.
Apparently not, we hear. Sources tells Page Six that Gillis plans to use the Down syndrome jokes that have long been a part of his act.
Gillis has relatives with the condition and has worked with kids who live with it, and the bits he does in his stand-up act come off as unconventionally affectionate and even celebratory of people with Downs. But it remains to be seen whether the occasionally uncomfortable material will freak out a mainstream TV audience.

I wondered about that too. Then I saw on the NYP article it was "Plans" not "Glans". So it was just an honest mistake, after all, "P" and "G" are right next to each other on the keyboard....
Oh, wait....

This uh...
typo reminds me of the early (c. 2008) days of the Large Hadron Collider. While searching for information on that beast, sooner or later someone was
bound to transpose the 'd' and 'r', right? and if you visit that link you'll see that the NYT did exactly that in an article, once upon a time!
