Theres so muchSaturday Night Livecontent these days, I can barely keep up.
Documentaries, 8H experiences and now, oh yes, the return of season 50.
Dave Chappellehosts the first episode of the new year, in his fourth gig.
How will Dave make sense of this?
On Chappelle, Minor shares: I’ve always been a big fan…
I think he’s great, and he’s usually a really good host.
But how does that happen?
How do people make fun of him?
How mad is he going to get at the way people make fun of him?
He adds: During the 2000 election, Bush and Gore both came toSNLand did bits.
Scroll down and be merry folks.
Hopefully our friends at 8H are well-rested and ready to meet the moment.
But sure enough, they cannot resist every statement from Trump distracts them.
Real policy is too boring.
Meanwhile, Joy Reid (Ego Nwodim) is calling outChloe Finemans Stephanie Ruhle for trying to hook up.
AndMarcello Hernandezkeeps quoting old pop songs, including “The Real Slim Shady.”
As Trump himself puts it, the anchors are awful, like Scooby Doo All Velma.
Interesting the show thinks of Yangs Santos as a fan favorite.
Not brilliant or ambitious in its satire, but solid.
Monologue
Chappelle comes out wearing a great-looking suit and smoking a cigarette.
He kept pushing it off until deciding it was time to get rid of his old Trump jokes.
Now, the L.A. fires have changed things.
Is it too soon to joke about celebrities' homes being destroyed?
While hes tired of being controversial, he gives it a shot.
He talks about poor people, West Hollywood, Luigi Mangione, and conspiracy theories.
He turns back to Trump and the rumors that Haitian immigrants were stealing andeating petsin Springfield, Ohio.
He tosses his cigarette to the ground, lamenting its no longer fun being famous.
With some understatement, he notes Diddy is in a bit of trouble!
Is he ugly, Dave wonders?
Or, does he just have snitch energy?
The baby oil bit here is a highlight for me.
This must be one of the longest monologues of the season.
He salutes Carters courage and leaves a message for Trump and all of us.
“Do better,” he implores.
Show decency to people whether they live in the Palisades or Palestine.
I was a performer.
I think he got an award that year, maybe best stand up.
Chappelle joins him today as “Black Neighbor Richard.”
His son lost access to his bedroom door due to a porn addiction.
His next guest isMikey Day, a local guidance counselor.
“Evacuation Alert”
A family decides to evacuate the fires.
Things escalate not sure if the monologues length cut the set-up here?
More secrets emerge, Chappelle says theres no time to explain, even mercy killing the dog.
GloRilla performs “Yeah Glo!”
Joining Chappelle as musical guest is rapper GloRilla.
The multi-platinum-selling artist received two Grammy nominations for her hit Yeah Glo!
The Memphis/crunk song is from her second mixtapeEhhthang Ehhthangwhich was released last year.
“Weekend Update”
Huge applause and cheers welcome our favorite anchors.
They jump into the inauguration, as well as President Bidens farewell.
He dryly takes on the critiques and how the app has warped his habits.
His attention span is shot and misinformation is everywhere.
Jost introduces a new segment, Hear Me Out, tackling anew AI lawin California.
He does some accent work tonight that confuses and concerns Che.
The original Nosferatu (Sherman) comes out to talk about the new movie.
Fans of Shermans Letterboxd know she is a huge body horror fan!
She knocks the current Nosferatu body way too jacked!
Lots of meme-worthy moments here, I guess.
The two men furtively communicate to avoid answering any questions.
No Chappelle role, wonder what is up with that.
He couldnt play Dwayne?
GloRilla performs “Whatchu Kno About Me” and “Let Her Cook”
Another fun performance!
These are how people watch these shows, so itshouldbe a stream.
LegendaryChappelle Showpimp Silky Johnsonappears, complete with Donnell Rawlings.
Wow, Ashy Larry also participates!
Fun to see these old characters here though not as surprising or clever as theHouse of the Dragonshort.
