Comedian Shane Gillis delivered the opening monologue as the ESPY Awards host last night, filled with edgy, controversial jokes. Here's what he said.

Comedian Shane Gillis hosted Wednesday night's ESPY Awards celebrating the best and brightest from around the sports world. As expected, he delivered a boundary-pushing monologue that didn't play it safe.

The crowd at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood politely applauded, before Gillis waited a beat, smirked, and said: “I’m joking around, that’s my friend’s wife. I knew none of you knew WNBA players.” The crowd awkwardly murmured in response, although Hicks, a businesswoman, and her husband, comedian Matt McCusker, appeared to find it hilarious.
