Chris Rock Roasts Donald Trump’s Victory, UHC Shooter, Menendez Brothers in Fiery Monologue — Watch

On December 15, 2024By Littum

Chris Rock returned to Studio 8H this week Saturday Night Live… and he had lots of thoughts about what’s happening in the news.

The former SNL The cast hosted Saturday’s episode and opened with a monologue that dived right into the day’s topics, including UHC shooter Luigi Mangione: “Everybody’s fixated on how good-looking this guy is. If he looked like Jonah Hill, nobody would care. ” He offered sympathies to the family of the slain health chief, but added: “Sometimes drug dealers get shot. You have seen The threadnot?”

Rock then turned to the political news of the year: Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election. He’s not shocked that Trump won, despite all his controversies: “We’ve had presidents show up to inaugurations with pregnant slaves. And I’m talking about Bill Clinton!” He pointed out that America already has a decidedly checkered history: “You know how many rapists are in my wallet right now? A cup of coffee in America costs seven rapists! And Trump will get it down to three.”

He also spoke of the Menendez brothers “getting out of jail … just in time to be deported.” Trump, Rock said, is working with “the richest African-American in the world: Elon Musk… Nobody knows how to get rid of people like a South African.” He joked that Trump and Musk planned to “put (immigrants) on a rocket ship, call it SpaceMex. J.Lo wants to remarry Ben just so she can stay in the country. I know she’s not Mexican.. . but Trump doesn’t know that.”

Rock closed his set by touching on the subject of President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter. Biden may be slowing down, Rock said, but “that middle finger still works,” adding, “Every parent in the world would pardon their son … except the Menendez brothers.”
