Shane Gillis, the comic who was recently rejected as a "Saturday Night Live" cast member after offensive material of his resurfaced, reportedly joked about President Trump being assassinated during his first stand-up show since he lost the job.

"I will say this: Of all the presidents I've been alive for, Trump would definitely be the funniest one to see get shot,” Gillis said during his stand-up set at The Stand comedy club Wednesday night in New York, according to USA Today. “Like, without a doubt, that'd be funny.”

Gillis continued: “I’m not asking for that; I don't want that to happen, but it would be funny to see. He'd be on stage talking … the shooter would be coming at him, and he'd be like, 'Sit down.' He'd definitely make a funny noise when he got hit. … It would be funny."

The comedian added that he’s “fine” with his "SNL" rejection, though he's been trying to stay off Twitter.

“As soon as they decide you're a bad guy, you're just alt-right now or something," Gillis said.

Paying his SJW tax. “See, guys? I’m one of you!” It won’t work, bud. Once you’re cancelled, you stay cancelled.

He can team up with Kathy Griffin and take that act on the road.

Madison, Portland, San Fran, Ann Arbor, Georgetown.

Nahh Shane, it would be funnier to see you standing in front of a speeding freight train.

He thought he’d make the left accept him again with that joke, instead of turning the other half of the country against him.

In other words, he likes the idea. He thinks it’s funny. He approves. It puts him in a happy mood. It makes him happy.

He deserves a visit from the Secret Service.

What a narcissist P%!@&! “Of all the presidents I’ve been alive for...” Like any president ever, anywhere, even noticed this pathetic little loser puke!

I doubt anyone would mind if this “comic” weren’t alive for them.

“As soon as they decide you're a bad guy, you're just alt-right now or something," Gillis said.

This guy is confused.

His career was destroyed by SJW and now he's trying tweak his comedy act to regain admission to 'the club'.

Comedy died years ago. The fact that people can actually say this vile spew today is rather shocking but the left is inching to an area that they will dread.

Like, what a loser.
