As Chris Rock appeared on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, the comedian took a dig at the YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul during his monologue. The commentary by Chris Rock follows Paul's victory in a boxing match over Mike Tyson on November 15, 2024, at the A&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
In his remarks, Chris Rock criticized Paul, stating:
"Who is this Jake Paul? This 27-year-old punching a 60-year-old in the face. Is this what the white man has reduced himself to? Stop it! Who’s he going to fight next, Morgan Freeman? I hate Jake Paul. I got landlord hate for him."
Notably, the match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson garnered significant attention, as reportedly Netflix's Live stream of the match was watched by an estimated 65 million households. Moreover, the match earned Paul a sum of $40 million, while Tyson allegedly took home $20 million, as reported by Marca on December 15.
Furthermore, Chris Rock and his appearance at Saturday Night Live has also been in the news after the comedian addressed the recent killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. Meanwhile, Gracie Abrams also made her musical debut on the show's latest episode and performed That’s So True and I Love You, I’m Sorry.
“Sometimes drug dealers get shot”- Chris Rock’s monologue about the recent UnitedHealthcare shooting goes viral
During Chris Rock’s recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, the comedian did not just crack jokes on Jake Paul and Mike Tyson but also commented on the recent UnitedHealthcare CEO's murder. Chris Rock said:
“I really feel sorry for the family. I mean everybody’s fixated on how good looking this guy looks. If he looked like Jonah Hill, no one would care. They would have already given him the chair and he’d be dead.”
He continued:
“He actually killed a man with a family, a man with kids. I have condolences for the healthcare CEO. This is a real person, but sometimes drug dealers get shot. You seen The Wire, right?"
Furthermore, during his appearance on the show, Rock also mocked the alleged alliance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, noting how the Tesla CEO has been supportive of the newly elected President. Chris said:
“Nobody knows how to get rid of people like a South African. It could happen to a nicer guy. He’s working with the number one African American in the world. The richest African American in the world: Elon Musk. That’s right. He is African American. Elon’s got more kids than the Cleveland Browns. That’s right. Nobody knows how to get rid of people like a South African.”
He continued:
“Oh, he’s serious. Trump is not playing. He’s got Elon. They’re gonna put them on a rocket ship, call it Space Mex.”
Furthermore, as several clips of the Saturday Night Live episode continue to go viral, social media users have been sharing their opinions about the jokes cracked by the comedian. While his dig on the UnitedHealthcare controversy received a mixed response from the masses, the comedian has not yet responded to the reactions.
