Chris Rock is turning SNL into a political stage!
On the Saturday, December 14 episode of Saturday Night Live, the 59-year-old American comedian and host, who is hosting the show for the fourth time, took a brutal aim at President-elect Donald Trump, the SpaceX founder Elon Musk, and also shared a few words on the recent assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, in his monologue.
“I really feel sorry for the family. Everybody’s fixated on how good-looking this guy looks. If he looked like Jonah Hill, no one would care. They’d already given him the chair already — he’d be dead,” said Chris Rock.
He continued, “But he actually killed a man — a man with a family, a man with kids. I have condolences. This is a real person, you know? But you also got to go, ‘You know, sometimes drug dealers get shot.'”
While blasting Trump on his aggressive deportation promises and policies, the comedian quipped, “Menendez Brothers are getting out of jail — just in time to get deported. Trump is going to deport their ass, you murdering Mexicans!”
And if there’s a discussion about the Republican President, it’s impossible not to mention his BFF and strongest supporter, Elon Musk, which is what Rock also did not forget.
Slamming Musk, he stated, “He’s working with the number one African American in the world. The richest African American in the world: Elon Musk. That’s right. He is African American. Elon’s got more kids than the Cleveland Browns. That’s right. Nobody knows how to get rid of people like a South African.”
Chris Rock has also hosted Saturday Night Live three times before, in 1996, 2014, and 2020. He also served as a cast member from 1990 to 1993.
