Dave Chappelle: they keep saying his monologue was Antisemitic, but he was poking fun at people like Kanye West....Guess people aren't happy unless they have something to complain about.

[@markzuckergecko621]

It's hilarious because he was basically just saying you're not allowed to even talk about Jews without being called an antisemite..... And then people started calling him an antisemite.

Thank you for including monologues that are controversial for good reasons. The bad/awkward ones are hard to watch, but thank you for including Nanjiani and Ansari, as sometimes people need to say the things they said, AND be funny at the same time.

[@aimeejo3405]

It was ridiculous though because as nutty as Trump is, there is no way he cares that a non white person was on SNL. The racism claims are just ridiculous.

[@duaneullery2133]

One thing you failed to mention about Bill Burr's monologue: It was also funny as hell. Someone somewhere is always going to be offended when a comedian touches on a topic that's even remotely controversial, particularly in this era populated by people who have no sense of humor and would rather spend their time in a state of perpetual outrage. Not only do I respect Burr for never backing off his style of comedy, I hope more comedians stay the course and double down when they're criticized.

I like Bill Burr. Not a fan of Norm McDonald. Don't the producers read their monologues before they go on stage? How do these bad monologues get past the producers?

[@Emy53]

I like Bill Burr. Television censorship is different than cable television. Chris Rock has loss something in his standup. I used to like him. Dave Chappelle is awesome. He's fair....

[@PhinneusPrune]

Anybody else see the pattern here? "His monolog was pro Republican. and in bad taste leaving everybody watching feeling uncomfortable" "He is a Democrat who shares my views. While it could be considered controversial. It was still very funny making points I at WokeMojo agree with"

[@mr.twists9302]

If you're a TV show thats *late at night* , you'd think that you could let a few things slip but nope, because to quote the critical drinker... "This show has to reflect on the world we live in today."

[@tylerwilson7512]

I think I agree with you. Haha I'm pretty stoned, so maybe I'm misunderstanding, but SNL's whole point is to make fun of everyone. Granted, they clearly lean a certain way politically, but they still make fun of both sides. But lately, they seem to be restricting themselves tryna be woke or something. Maybe that's not the right word to use, but I feel like you get it. Haha who's the critical drinker?
