Comedian Dave Chappelle took aim at President-elect Donald Trump during his monologue on Saturday Night Live, wishing the president-elect the best of luck and urging him to “do better next time.”
“The presidency is no place for boring people. Donald Trump, I know you're watching the show. Hey, remember, whether people voted for you or not. Everybody's counting on you. Whether they like you or not, they're counting on you.'' Everybody's counting on you,'' Chappelle said.
President Trump will officially take office on Monday, January 20th.
“I mean it when I say this. Good luck. Do better next time. All of us, do better next time. Remember your humanity and empathize with the displaced people.” Have it. Palisades or Palestine, whether they're refugees or not, thank you!'' the comedian continued.

Chappelle also paid tribute to Jimmy Carter during his monologue, recalling a story about Carter visiting Israel and walking through Palestinian territory with little security.
The comedian said: “I'll never forget the sight of the former US president standing there with almost no security while thousands of Palestinians cheered him on.”
Chappelle previously hosted the first “Saturday Night Live” episode after President Trump's 2016 victory.
“I'm going to give him a chance, but those of us who have been historically disenfranchised are demanding that he be given a chance,” he said at the time.

Hours after President Joe Biden officially called the 2020 campaign, Chappelle hosted SNL again.
“There's no more Trump,” Chappelle said at the time, before joking about Trump's response to the coronavirus, adding that when she heard the president refer to it as “kung flu,” she thought to herself: said. “b—-,” he added, “I should say that, not you. It's wrong for you to say that.”
