...In what was hailed as one of the funniest opening monologues in recent times, Rock placed comedy above politics as he took swipes at both sides of the political spectrum...
'Trump had a good year, man,' Rock said. 'Trump survived an assassination attempt. Won the presidency again by winning the popular vote. Was just named 'Time' man of the year...
'A lot of people are scared. Like, "oh, my God, he's going to be so undignified." When I say a lot of people, I'm talking about the nine New Yorkers that didn't vote for him, okay?', Rock said, poking fun at liberals...
'Come on, man, this is not the most dignified job in the world. We've had presidents show up to the inauguration with pregnant slaves, okay? And I'm just talking about Bill Clinton,' ...
'Dude. It's the United States... I mean, you know what country we live in. You know the history of this country. You know how many rapists are in my wallet right now? A cup of coffee in America costs seven rapists... Trump's going to get it down to three.' ...
Turning to Trump, Rock joked how the president-elect was going to start deporting illegal immigrants while working with the 'number one African American in the world, the richest African American in the world, Elon Musk.' ... 'They're going to put them in a rocket ship–call it 'SpaceMex,' ...
'I gotta hand it to Joe, he don't move as fast as he used to, he don't talk as fast as he used to,' Rock said, 'but that middle finger still works,' ... 'Only an animal would not pardon your son. Every parent in the world would pardon their son, except the parents of the Menendez Brothers,' he joked.

Yeah, heh, it's always startling to watch him work clean. Having seen him when was (mostly) clean from his prior excesses, he dropped a bomb here and there but was just funny. In vaudeville the old distinction was, a comedian says funny things, and a comic says things funny. "Is, is that your heart? Rooooooaaar!"
Probably looked like Will Smith. :^D Sez here that Will Smith and Jamie Foxx are both distancing themselves from P Diddy, gosh, I wonder why. :^)
His voice was difficult for me to get past, but I do kind of miss him. He did a roast of George Takei, hilarious, that’s probably still on YouTube, it’s not for the faint of heart though...
Sounded like his old self again. I guess he was afraid of getting canceled the past decade.
OMG SpaceMex,,, laughing hysterically now that is damn funny!!
Sending colonists to Mars on a one-way trip doesn’t sound too bad now, does it? :^)
middle finger still works
was funniest line
Funny it took him four years to come up with it.
...but yeah, definitely, that and Clinton’s pregnant slaves.
Well said.
