Chris Rock made a brutal dig at Bill Clinton while also slamming liberals worried about the incoming Trump presidency during his Saturday Night Live monologue.
In what was hailed as one of the funniest opening monologues in recent times, Rock placed comedy above politics as he took swipes at both sides of the political spectrum.
‘There’s a lot going on in the news, my God, it’s so crazy out there,’ Rock stated as he began his seven-minute opening act.
Rock said it had been a ‘bad year for my people, blacks’, as he referenced Kamala Harris’ loss in November’s election.
But then switching sides, Rock took a few swipes at President-elect Donald Trump.
‘Trump had a good year, man,’ Rock said. ‘Trump survived an assassination attempt. Won the presidency again by winning the popular vote. Was just named ‘Time’ man of the year. You know? It could happen to a nicer guy,’ he jibed.
Rock noted how he was far from shocked that Trump won, despite all his controversies.
‘A lot of people are scared. Like, “oh, my God, he’s going to be so undignified.” When I say a lot of people, I’m talking about the nine New Yorkers that didn’t vote for him, okay?’, Rock said, poking fun at liberals.
