Dave Chappelle refers to Trump as a ‘hilarious racist’ in SNL monologue

Rudi Kinsella

“I’m supposed to say that, not you!”

Dave Chappelle appeared on a historic episode of Saturday Night Live this week, which aired as Joe Biden was elected President of the United States.

Chappelle discussed Covid-19, race relations in America, and of course the 2020 election in his monologue on the show.

Speaking about Trump referring to Covid-19 as “the kung-flu”, Chappelle said that Trump was a “racist, hilarious son of a bitch”, adding “I’m supposed to say that, not you”.

He then took aim at US politician and Trump ally Chris Christie, who recently tested positive for Covid-19. Chappelle said: “Everything in Chris Christie’s body, coronavirus likes to eat”.

As is often the case with Chappelle, there were plenty of hard truths and serious moments throughout his set too, where he took a break from the jokes and offered some advice.
