“#Dave Chappelle monologue focuses on virus, Trump”

Dave Chappelle was the host of Saturday Night Live following the last Presidential Election, so of course it made some sense to bring him back again.

With that said, the results tonight were far and away different from what we had four years ago. Chappelle’s monologue back then was about, in part, his feelings towards Donald Trump being elected President. He had an almost-insurmountable challenge in trying to find comedy in what was a hard position for many viewers, but by and large he did a good job.

Chappelle admitted at the start of the show that he was nervous, and he spent a good bit of the day thinking of his great-grandfather, who was a slave for ten years of his life before being freed. It sounded like he was leading into an emotional revelation, but it all was a setup for a joke about how he’s not getting paid for a lot of his work. Let’s just say that he was operating on the edge for a lot of this. Chappelle does understand that comedy can at times operate on the edge, and we know already that there are people who aren’t going to like his jokes about the virus or certain white people.
