That crowd was dead. He had some great jokes that hit both sides of politics and whatever else. Pro athletes just think they have to be so cool now. I mean that WNBA joke and then cuts to his friends wife when people clapped? That's gold. Basically all the same joke we tell around here.

Probably because most of them didn’t really want to be there to begin with.

Norm Macdonald's monologue is the goat. Nothing compares to Ken Griffey Jr's look when Norm told the joke about taking away OJ's trophy.

Yep. And no one laughed. Apparently, pro athletes are generally just a bunch of humorless, un-ironic dorks

He was reading abc approved jokes written by others off a teleprompter in front of a crowd of athletes and celebs in completely different circles than Shane. If you judge his career in comedy, let alone if he’s funny or not, based on the opening monologue of the ESPYs, or even SNL for that matter, you’re a retard.

Funny as hell, kind of stale at the end trying to be a equal offender.

Not the biggest fan of him or his delivery, but the jokes were funny. If he wanted to be super edgy, he should have had them celebrate all the blacks before them. Then say to clap and celebrate the White men that invited, built, and are the fans that mostly financially support all sports. See them squirm. Then awkwardly ask…”Am I the racist for asking for that or are you for not clapping??”

Dude is one of the last ball out comedians. You aint supposed to agree...it's supposed to hit and be funny. He did this.

Shane is funny as they come but this didn't fly with that woke audience...

First 6 minutes was great, the Trump at halftime bit flopped big time

Agreed. Not sure why people keep down voting this.

He made it clear that wasn't a bit. Actually happened and he's talked about it before

This dude is not funny. I don't know why he gets any pub. He's a straight up a-hole!
