Chris Rock was the first host of the 46th season of “Saturday Night Live” and had an order ahead of him. Not only did the show return to Studio 8H for the first time this season, but for the first time in early 2020, as the coronavirus epidemic turned their season 45 production into an “at-home” episode.
Rock took to the stage in a mask, but immediately removed it to leave his monologue, which began by addressing the “elephant in the room” that President Donald Trump is in the hospital with COW.
“My heart goes out in secret,” Roque said.
He also briefly touched on new protocols in place in the studio, so that the show could go live and in person. He admitted to the studio audience, saying they were thoroughly investigated before entering and that they were all first responders. He joked, “We let people kill tonight so they could look good.”
He also noticed that he was getting swabs every day. He said, “I haven’t had so much stuff in my nose since sharing in the dressing room with Chris Furley.
COVID took the center stage in its solitude, as it also talked about what plans it had shut down. In her case, it was her sister’s wedding, for which she paid બ 80,000 to Bell Biv Devo and I can’t get it back, and Cochela. (“I know 200,000 Americans have died, but I don’t see a machine in front of a razor this year, man. It’s a travesty.”)
He also commented on the “renewal” seen by couples passing by. “I think we need to re-discuss our relationship with the government.” “Does it work? I think Biden should be the last president ever. We need a whole new system, okay? શું What job do you have for four years, even if it works? “
He further said, “We have agreed in the United States that we should not have kings, yet we have the Dukes and Duchess who run the Senate and Congress, making decisions for the poor. Rich people make decisions for poor people – he gives you dating advice like your generous friend. “
Rock reminded the audience that the president technically only needs credentials to be 35 years old and born in the United States. “That’s how we got into this tragedy,” he said. “There should be some rules for becoming president. Do you realize that there are more rules in a game show than running for president? Donald Trump left a game show to fight the presidential election because it was easier. “
However, Rock was not out to hit the current president completely. The good news, he said, is that he’s got the most energy of any 75-year-old on the face of the earth, and he’s been compared to a “dominant female boxer” like Rhonda Rousseau.
He noted that the point was to get out and vote, but “the government does not want you to vote. Why do I know they don’t want to vote for you? Because Election Day is a Tuesday in November. … If the show had been ‘Tuesday Night Live’, it would have been canceled in 1975. “
“We have to take this seriously, man,” he said. “Whatever is going on right now, let’s lick it – we can beat it – if we can face it.
“Saturday Night Live” airs on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m.
