Dave Chappelle returned to host “Saturday Night Live” this week and delivered a monologue touching on all sorts of things Diddy's legal troubles on his message to the president-elect Donald Trump.
The comedian didn't miss a beat on the show this week, first addressing the ongoing legal drama surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs. Chappelle noted that he had never experienced anything like what Diddy is going through, saying, “I've been in a lot of trouble in my life, but this guy Puffy – buddy, this guy is in a lot of trouble. I don’t.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that.
Chappelle poked fun at himself, recalling how friends of his had questioned his absence from Diddy's infamous “Freak-Off” parties, with Chapelle saying: “I thought about it for a minute and said, oh my God – I’m ugly.” That was a difficult way to find out. Can you imagine reading the newspaper and finding out that everyone in Hollywood was having an orgy behind your back?”
At the end of his 17-minute monologue, the comedian switched to Donald Trump. Urging the President-elect to rise above pettiness, he said: “The presidency is no place for pettiness. Whether people voted for you or not, they are all counting on you. The whole world is counting on you.”

He concluded on a hopeful note, calling for compassion and humanity and saying, “Do better next time. Please, all of us: do better next time. “Don’t forget your humanity and please have compassion for the displaced, whether they are in the Stockades or Palestine.”
