Comedian Dave Chappelle took aim at newly elected President Donald Trump during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue on Saturday, wishing the new president the best of luck and calling on him to “do better next time.”
“The presidency is no place for little people. Donald Trump, I know you watch the show. Man, remember, whether people voted for you or not, they’re all counting on you. Whether they like you or not, they are We’re all counting on you,” Chappelle said.
Trump will be officially inaugurated on Monday, January 20.
‘I mean it when I say this: good luck. Please do better next time. Please, all of us, do better next time. Don’t forget your humanity, and please have empathy for displaced people, whether they are in the Palisades or Palestine. Thank you very much!” continued the comedian.

Chappelle also paid tribute to Jimmy Carter in the monologue, recalling a story about Carter visiting Israel and walking through Palestinian territory with very little security.
The comedian said he would “never forget the images of a former American president walking around with little to no security as thousands of Palestinians cheer him on.”
Chappelle previously hosted the first episode of “Saturday Night Live” after Trump’s 2016 victory.
He said at the time, “I’m going to give him a chance, and we, the historically disenfranchised, demand he give us one too.”

Chappelle hosted SNL again, hours after the 2020 race was officially declared for President Joe Biden.
“Now Trump is gone,” Chappelle said at the time, before joking about Trump’s response to the coronavirus. When he heard the president call it the “Kung flu,” he said to himself, “You racist, hilarious son of a man. b—-,” and added, “I should say that, not you. It’s wrong if you say it.”
