Rob Schneider Criticizes
'SNL' For Firing Shane Gillis In a new tweet, he compared
the move to an "inquisition." @RobSchneider, via Twitter Schneider previously starred on the
sketch comedy show back in the early 1990s. 'SNL's' decision to fire Gillis
came after a podcast clip surfaced
of him mocking Asians. The audio came to light only four days after Gillis announced he joined the cast. Fellow comics Bill Burr and Jim Jefferies have also since ripped the move by 'SNL.' In a recent interview, Jefferies recalled John Belushi portraying a samurai on the program back in the 1970s.
