Saturday Night Live yesterday (January 18), Dave Chappelle addressed President-elect Donald Trump, urging him to govern with “empathy”.Last night’s stint marks the comedian’s fourth time hosting the show since 2016, notably his first appearance on an episode that didn’t air the same week as an election.

Airing just two days before Trump’s inauguration, he addressed him directly in his monologue, as well as taking aim at Diddy and broaching the Los Angeles wildfires.“It’s a tough one, you know what I mean?” he said. “Because I’m tired of being controversial.

I’m trying to turn over a new leaf. And it is way too soon to do jokes about a catastrophe like that. It is.”Two devastating fires continue to burn in the city, having started on January 7.

To date, a total of 27 people have lost their lives, while 200,000 residents have been forced to evacuate their homes and more than 12,000 structures have been damaged.Dave Chappelle's monologue!
