dave chappelle returns Saturday night Live Taking to the stage wearing a sharp suit, smoking a cigarette and armed with a series of sharp jokes about the presidential election, the Los Angeles wildfires, Sean Diddy Combs and President-elect Donald Trump, to whom the veteran comedian wished success. Second period.
“The President is no place for little people. So, Donald Trump, I know you watch the show. Remember, whether people voted for you or not, they’re all counting on you,” Chappelle said, joking that he knew Mr Trump watches the show. “Whether they like you or not, they’re all counting on you. The whole world is counting on you.”
“When I say this I mean it: good luck. Please, do better next time. Please, all of us, do better next time,” Chappell added. “Don’t forget your humanity. And please, be sympathetic to the displaced people, whether they are in the Palisades or Palestine.”
These were the last lines of his nearly 20-minute monologue.
Chappell began his work by explaining how he had initially snl Producer Lorne Michaels did not want to host the first episode after the election, as he did in 2016 and 2020. After repeatedly saying no to Michaels, Chappelle said he had an epiphany: “You know what? I can get rid of all these old Trump jokes. I’ll do it!” He said, “The moment I said yes, L.A. went up in flames!”
Chappelle, who lives in Ohio, a town across from Springfield (more on that later), explained how the deadly L.A. fire broke her heart. He also realized how negative online comments surrounding many celebrities losing their homes reminded him of why he hates poor people: “Because they can’t see beyond their pain.”
“On the news the other day, they said this fire was the costliest tragedy ever to happen in the history of the United States. I think it’s because people in LA have nice things. I can burn 40,000 acres in Mississippi for six or seven dollars,” Chappelle joked. “If you were a rational, thinking person, you would have to at least consider the possibility that God hates these people.”
Chappelle later turned his attention to Trump and his comments about Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, last year.
“Trump is a wild man. He said that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio were eating people’s dogs and cats. I live a town over from Springfield. That just didn’t happen in Springfield,” Chappell said. He said he wanted to show his support for Haitian immigrants to let them know they were welcome. “Every day I would drive to Springfield and eat lunch at a Haitian restaurant,” Chappelle said, pausing, “and to be honest with you, I don’t know what that meat was. But whatever it was, He fell straight off the bone.
Chappelle said that he realized in the worst way why he did not know about Diddy’s “Freak Off” orgy parties. “Oh my God, I’m ugly! That’s a hard way to find out,” he joked. “Can you imagine if I were you, reading the newspaper and finding out that everyone in Hollywood had an orgy behind your back?”
