Then Shane Gillis grabbed the mic, and things took a wild turn. In what's already being called the boldest moment of the night, Gillis fired off a roast aimed squarely at Bill Belichick and yeah, it was about his much-younger girlfriend. The punchline? Children's books turned into risqué bedtime reads. And Twitter has not stopped talking about it since. Shane Gillis delivers a raunchy roast about Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend While most ESPYs hosts play it safe, Gillis? Not even close. He dove headfirst into the Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson relationship drama, joking about what the couple reads before bed: 'A bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bedtime… They do The Very Horny Caterpillar, The Little Engine That Could But Needed a Pill First, and of course Good Night Boobs.' The line dropped like a bomb. The crowd let out a mix of gasps, laughs, and stunned silence. Gillis, of course, stood there grinning like he'd just pulled off the roast of the year. And honestly? He kind of did. The relationship already had people talking and this joke added gasoline to the fire Belichick, 73, started dating Jordon Hudson, 24, and the headlines haven't stopped since. Whether it's their public outings or the nearly 50-year age gap, people haven't been shy about offering opinions. Hudson, a former cheerleader and beauty pageant contestant, reportedly bonded with Belichick over philosophy books. That's right, philosophy. Naturally, the internet was quick to call it out, meme it, and dissect every photo. So when Gillis brought it up on ESPN's biggest night, he was poking at a controversy that was already simmering. Disney let this air? Gillis got away with it on ESPN The ESPYs air on ABC—a Disney-owned network. So when Shane Gillis dropped jokes that sounded more like they belonged in a Netflix special than primetime sports TV, fans were stunned. Think Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes but way more 'Did he really just say that?!' For a show that usually leans inspirational, Gillis brought pure chaos. And that bedtime story bit? Easily the most talked-about line of the night. And let's be real: The Little Engine That Could But Needed a Pill First ? That line alone deserves its own award.

The moment set a controversial tone for the evening, generating plenty of conversation both inside the venue and across social media. — CarterDuJour (@CarterDuJour) Live Events After the monologue, Gillis took a jab at Caitlin Clark, who was absent from the ceremony due to injury. "When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most: fist fighting Black women," he joked. — BricksCenter (@BricksCenter) While some in the audience chuckled at the joke, others shifted uncomfortably, reflecting a mixed reaction to the dig. Gillis pressed on for 10 minutes, delivering edgy jokes that included jabs at President Trump and controversial references to Jeffrey Epstein, whose sex trafficking case continues to cast a shadow over the Justice Department and FBI. Gillis pivoted to Donald Trump's much-discussed idea of hosting a UFC fight on the White House lawn, using it as a setup to deliver a biting joke that roped in former Vice President Mike Pence and the January 6 Capitol riots, drawing a mix of laughter and uneasy silence from the audience. "Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the White House lawn," he said. "The last time he staged a fight in DC, Mike Pence almost died." — awfulannouncing (@awfulannouncing) Gillis' opening joke targeting North Carolina coach Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, drew some of the biggest laughs of the night, setting a bold tone for the monologue. "A bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bed time," he said. "They read 'The Very Horny Caterpillar,' 'The Little Engine That Could But Needed a Pill First' and of course the classic 'Goodnight Boobs'." However, as Gillis continued his set, the reaction turned mixed, with some in the audience laughing hesitantly while others remained visibly uncomfortable. "He won six Super Bowls. He's dating a hot 24 year old. Maybe if you guys won six Super Bowls you wouldn't be sitting next to a fat ugly dog wife." NBA Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cracked a smile when Gillis quipped, "SGA is here. Everybody sitting around him is in foul trouble," drawing laughter from parts of the crowd. — TheNBACentel (@TheNBACentel) Before wrapping up, a smiling Gillis addressed the crowd with a self-aware remark: "I see a lot of you don't like me, and that's OK. That's it for me. That went about exactly how we all thought it was going to go. I don't know why this happened."
