Shane Gillis, the popular comedian once fired from "Saturday Night Live," hosted The ESPYs on Wednesday night. The Pennsylvania native, who played college football, was named the host of the sports-themed awards show earlier this summer.

Gillis’ Donald Trump impersonation is gold and his don’t-give-a-bleep approach has probably helped loosen up a country uncomfortably hellbent on making sure everyone’s feelings are overprotected. It’s been pretty stuffy in America in recent years, if you haven’t noticed, and comedy’s risk-taking arm has led to a recalibration of sorts. Good.
