Dave Chappelle made a triumphant return to stand-up comedy hosting at "Saturday Night Live," as he took hits on new president elect Donald Trump.
Chappelle recently made harsh remarks against Hillary Clinton, which outraged netizen before the elections. Now, he has his jokes set on Donald Trump. Though it was a stand-up comedy act, the major takeaway from the monologue was that he was going to give Trump a chance and demanded that the new president elect should also give the "historically disenfranchised" a chance too, Vogue reported.
Some of the notable joke in his SNL monologue included how America had elected an internet troll as the new president, Entertainment Weekly reported.
He also said that he is staying at a Trump-owned hotel. However, he remarked about the Access Hollywood video that leaked in 2005, where Trump made explicit statements about women. Chappelle said he isn't sure if Trump will make a good president, but he sure makes amazing hotel suites. He said that he could grab the housekeeper's private parts, because the boss said it was alright.
He also said something very meaningful about his visit to the White House last October. BET sponsored a party and Chappelle said everyone there at that time was black, except for Bradley Cooper. And he said it was a beauty to behold.
He also gave a little bit of history lesson saying that Frederick Douglass was the first black person who was invited to the White House. Abraham Lincoln had to walk to the gate to get Frederick, because security wouldn't let him in.
Next black person invited in history was during the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt. After getting so much controversy from the media, according to Chappelle, Roosevelt said he will never have a n---er in the White House again.
He said he think of those black person who were first invited into the White House in the past and he looked at all the black person invited in the present, just a few weeks ago. He said it looked very hopeful. And it also made him feel proud to be an American.
