Shane Gillis opens up about awkward encounter with Micah Parsons

Shane Gillis talked about unpleasant interaction with Green Bay Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons during a Super Bowl party.

While the Bupkis star was a guest on the show ManningCast with Peyton Manning and Eli Manning where he was asked about his initial meeting with Parsons.

Gillis said, “He did nothing wrong. It was a completely normal reaction; we were at a Super Bowl Party. I’m in all Eagles gear, so I look like just a fan. Everybody else that’s there is like cool. It was at Saquon (Barkley’s) house. He was still with the Giants.”

He added, “I’m in there, I’m walking around, I’m one of the three White guys in the room, and I walk up to Micah Parsons and I was like, ‘Micah, I went to Trinity High School in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. I know you’re from Harrisburg.’ He was like,’ Who is this guy?’ Also, I’m 15 years older than him. I did leave immediately as soon as he said what’s up? I was like, it’s time for me to go.”

Moreover, Gillis was probably still making a name for himself in comedy when that went down and the past couple of years have been a busy for the 37-year-old.

The American Comedian dropped his Netflix series Tires in 2024 and recently wrapped up filming the sports comedy Madden.

Shane Gillis wasn't on the ManningCast to discuss his meeting with Micah Parsons, he was there to chat about the Eagles, he's a huge fan as the actor played high school football at Trinity and even got engaged to play for the Army Black Knights.
