Comedian Dave Chappelle took aim at President-elect Donald Trump during his monologue on “Saturday Night Live” on Saturday, wishing the incoming president good luck and asking him to “do better next time.”
“The presidency is no place for petty 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 you like it or not, they’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 have empathy for displaced people, whether they are in the Palisades or Palestine. Thank you very much!” the comedian continued.

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 while thousands of Palestinians cheered 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 you a chance, and we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that you give us one too.”

Chappelle hosted SNL again, hours after the 2020 race was officially called for President Joe Biden.
“Now Trump’s gone,” Chappelle said at the time, before joking about Trump’s response to the coronavirus, saying that when he heard the president call him “Kung-flu,” he said to himself, “You’re a son of a bitch.” racist and hilarious.” Bitch,” adding, “I’m supposed to say that, not you. It’s wrong when you say it.”
