Host Shane Gillis brought his combative humor to the monologue of the ESPY Awards, drawing a mixed response on a night dominated by female winners.
Comedian and Eagles super fan Shane Gillis took a shot at the Dallas Cowboys and parodied the 'Tush Push' at the 2025 ESPYs.
ESPN announced in June that Gillis would host the 33rd ESPY Awards. He previously appeared on “College GameDay” — even rubbing analyst Nick Saban the wrong way with a comment by calling him Alabama Jones — and is an avid Eagles and Notre Dame fan.
