Inde Navarrette Claps Back at Shane Gillis' Gym Joke on SNL

Marvel's X-Men actress flipped the script on a controversial cold open bit.

SNL went there Saturday night. Shane Gillis kicked off the show with a joke about women dressing like "whores" at the gym — the kind of bit that lands different depending on who you ask. Inde Navarrette, who's prepping for Marvel's X-Men reboot, wasn't having it.

Instead of letting it sit, she shot back with her own take: "Every morning, I put on my little whore outfit, and I hit the gym." It's the classic move — own the thing someone else tried to roast you with, flip it, and make it yours. Tom Hanks crashed the cold open too, because apparently that's how SNL does it now.

The moment landed somewhere between awkward and clever depending on your read. Some saw it as Navarrette reclaiming the joke; others saw it as the bit just getting worse. Either way, it's the kind of exchange that sparks the group chat the next morning — which, honestly, is half the point of SNL these days.
