Dave Chappelle returned to Saturday Night Live for the second time as its post-election host.
The comedian last presented the sketch show days after Donald Trump became the president in 2016, and this time, he did the job hours after the 2020 presidential election was won by Joe Biden.
Shortly after Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris, delivered their victory speeches in Delaware, Chappelle gave his own emotionally charged monologue, which has been praised by viewers.
He called Trump a "racist hilarious son of a b****" for calling coronavirus the "Kung Flu", and questioned what kind of a person lets others die while prioritising themselves. His answer? "A white man."
Chappelle added: “I don’t mean to put this on the whites, but I’ve been Black a long time, I’ve noticed a pattern."
He even expresses his thanks for Covid-19 as the pandemic has forced people to stay indoors, which has in turn prevented mass shootings.
"Thank God for Covid," he said. "Someone had to lock up these murderous whites."
He capped the seppech by suggesting "good white [people]" perform "random acts of kindness for Black people" on one condition.
"You’ve got to make sure they don’t deserve it – the same way all them years they did terrible things to Black people just because they’re Black and they didn’t deserve it.”
Chappelle's speech has been met with praise by people who have hailed it as "important" and "valuable".
Meanwhile, Jim Carrey, who plays Biden on the show, momentarily resurrected his popular Ace Ventura character to deliver a brutal message to Trump.
