  • Well, of course you want Kentucky.

  • I mean, that's where all the Racists are.

  • As Donald Trump claims more votes and advances towards victory, everyone watching at home is shocked.

  • Except for Chapel, that is, until Chris Rock shows up.

  • Hey, guys, what I missed making an unexpected cameo that had the crowd cheering Rock brings his signature observational comedy toe a historical moment that left many confused.

  • I mean, if the country was 55% black, we have tons of black presidents.

  • I mean, flavor flavor would be president as all the white people in the room come to the revelation that America isn't quite as they thought.

  • Rock and Chappelle can't help but make sarcastic remarks, having been ahead of the curve.

  • Why aren't people turning out for Hillary the way they did for Barack Obama?

  • I mean, maybe because you're replacing a charismatic 40 year old black guy with a 70 year old white woman.

  • Number nine Weekend update.

  • Colin Powell For a period in the early nineties, some theorized that President George H.

  • W.

  • Bush might replace Dan Quayle with Colin Powell for the 1992 presidential election.

  • If Colin Powell was vice president, I would kill the president and tell his mother about it.

  • Okay, In this weekend update segment, Rock delves into why Powell likely wouldn't become the country's first black vice president.

  • The reasons rock gives aren't quite what you might expect, however.

  • And even if they had a death penalty, even if they had a definitely what would happen, I would just get pardoned by the black president.

  • According to Rock, if Powell were vice president, it wouldn't take long for somebody such as himself to remove Bush from the equation.

  • As long as you live, you will never see a black vice president.

  • You know why?

  • Because some black guy would just kill the president.

  • That's why assed Faras Rock is concerned his plan is airtight.

  • While Rock was obviously joking, he was right about a couple of things.

  • Bush didn't replace Quail with Powell, and an African American has yet to hold the veep's office.

  • Number eight, My son, college graduate three years after leaving SNL Rock returned for his first time, is the show's host, and I'm so Proud of You, the first Gilmore graduate from God.

  • This sketch reunites rock with Tim Meadows, who plays a recently graduated college student.

  • Rock assumes the role of his father, who shifts from being proud to condescending the second his son starts using fancy college words.

  • I'm ecstatic.

  • Yeah, is static.

  • Yeah, that's something they teach up there in that fancy school.

  • No matter what Meadows does or says, Rock finds a way to tie it back to his son's education, taking everything as a sign of disrespect.

  • When these are words that you confined into the source, you know the source.

  • You cursed at me again, Out What do it.

  • Rock isn't the only one in the family who knows how to guilt trip, as Tracy Morgan's grandpa condemns his son for merely counting eight.

  • Now, there you go, counting again.

  • The irony is that Meadows is four years older than Rock, while Morgan is the youngest of the three number seven weekend update.

  • Peanuts.

  • Franklin was the first African American character to appear in the Peanuts comic strip.

  • As groundbreaking as Franklin Waas.

  • Rock argues that more could have been done with the character.

  • To most people, the first day of school was a happy time, but not to me.

  • Rock felt a lot like Franklin growing up as he was also the only black kid in school.

  • It isn't long until rocks.

  • Commentary on the first day of school becomes all about Franklin and his lack of dialogue.

  • Franklin 25 years.

  • Not one line compared to the other Peanuts characters, Rock strongly believes that Franklin has gone under developed over the decades, plays the piano.

  • Peppermint pays a lesbian.

  • We see where rock is coming from.

  • They don't even invite him to the parties.

  • They don't invite him to the party.

  • No, but Snoopy's dancing his ass.

  • All right.

  • If Snoopy is invited to the party, we think it's also good that Franklin gets his dio number six.

  • I'm Chillin.

  • Although Rocks SNL Tenure is best remembered for his monologues, he also developed a few recurring characters.

  • Now I'm your host on Ski to the highest degree to the T o P o.

  • It's all about money.

  • One of his most memorable is on Ski from the fictional show I'm Chillin with a wardrobe that screams early nineties hip hop on Ski was usually paired with a sidekick Be Fats, played by Chris Farley.

  • Bullet Hole tampons because sometimes you believed in other places.

  • I'm chillin might not have had the biggest budget.

  • Bronski fortunately, have sponsors like Bullet Hole Tampons and 168th Street spring water to keep him on the air.

  • It's stuck only spring water, I said, the only spring water that comes directly from a fire hydrant.

  • Aside from busting over the top rhymes, Husky and be Fats used their platform to talk about Sinbad and make mother jokes, but they never quite get around to playing rap videos.

  • Yo, yo, yo, that's my baby!

  • Yo, yo, we gotta check that out next week, cause right now I gotta go pick up my baby's mother.

  • Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

  • He wasn't black, but sure got treated like he was.

  • The sketch reteamed rock with Farley, who plays a clown named Sand Van sporting a massive Afro.

  • Not X would often tackle then topical issues such as the Rodney King trial.

  • If we had to single out the episode that best represented Rocks talents as a performer, though, it would have to be Nat X's interview with Michael Jackson via satellite.

  • What are you trying to say?

  • Well, that's What I'm really trying to say is it doesn't matter what color person is black or white, because we're all God's Children doing a spot on impression that's enhanced by the hair and makeup crew.

  • Rock captures the king of pop to a t e.

  • Understand what people just won't leave me alone like Stop crying, Stop crying, Stop crying.

  • Although Rock is basically interviewing Rock Nat Jackson Jackson have such radically different personas, it's easy to forget.

  • Number 4 1996 Opening monologue.

  • Rock is a stand up comedian, first and foremost, so when he hosted in 1996 SNL gave Rock a platform to do what he does best.

  • Every town's got to malls, They got the White Mall, and the more white people used to go to rock kicked off his monologue by discussing malls and how they've signified a change in America since this was three days before an election, though, rock naturally dedicated most of the monologue to Bill Clinton, right running out of money, his wife, the pain and and all his friends are going thio.

  • I know Bill Clinton.

  • I am Bill Clinton.

  • Rock gives Clinton an endorsement of sorts, noting all of the things they have in common.

  • A few months before Arizona finally voted in the holidays favor, Rock gave his two cents on the issue.

  • Rock finds it ridiculous that the citizens of Arizona would reject a day off.

  • You don't like black people.

  • That's one thing.

  • But what?

  • I can't understand why people in the hot ass doesn't sound like Tucson, Arizona wouldn't want a day off work.

  • When your town is shrouded in extreme desert heat, who would want to leave the comfort of their air conditioned home?
