    This really is one of the strangest occurrences in recent memory. Just a fascinating look into a country in utter turmoil. Popovich said it best: "We are Rome."

          She truly is one of the deplorables. A charcoal black soul.

          (Btw, I think Clinton's "deplorables" comment was her ultimate undoing and not the 11th hour FBI probe)

            Chappelle's monologue is redeeming this a bit. But that was one of the lamest openings ever for SNL. They are acting like it was 9/11 this week.

              As you can imagine, the tweets are across the entire spectrum on this.

                Yeah, same here. These idiots are making me feel a lot better.

                  Chapelle killed it. Totally redeemed that mess.

                    Did I miss something? In the opening I saw Nancy McKinnon singing Hallelujah out of respect for Leonard Cohen.

                      When was the last time SNL did an opening without a single joke? Did they even do that after 9/11 (I can't remember)? Cohen dying hardly warranted that...and it clearly wasn't about Cohen anyway. It was a purely political statement without any humor. Dumb.

                      Thankfully Chapelle was the host and was great. He gets it that you can rip your political opponents (and their opponents) and still be funny. That's what we expect and need SNL to do.

                        Respect for Leonard Cohen? Their "tribute" trivialized Cohen's death by equating it with the results of a legal democratic election.

                        Hollywood and the progressive media have no idea what just happened and why. Their arrogance, self importance, lecturing, and blindness is a major cause of Trump's election. Doubling down on the lecturing and more self righteousness is supposed to accomplish what?

                          No they still made jokes on the 9/11 show open, Lorne said to Rudy "Is it ok to be funny?" and Rudy replied "Why start now?". That was just mourning the death of America.

                            I happen to think it's hilarious. Kate McKinnon isn't giving up! Not sure what that means, how she'd do it, or why she'd it. But inspiring!

                              She wasn't playing it as Kate, she was playing it as Hillary.

                                Well she was in a huge flop of a movie and really needed to have the Hillary SNL job locked up for the next few years.
