Chris Rock's Opening Monologue on SNL last Night
Saturday Night Live is rarely any good, but when it's good it's damn good, which is why they must be stoked to have YouTube around to filter out all the gunky crud that fucks up their brand.
Last night SNL alumn Chris Rock had the honors of opening the show and he did a 3.5 minute monologue that would have been perfect in his stand-up routine, if in fact he was doing stand-up right now.
The topic was, which person would he be voting for as President of the United States, the white woman or the black man.
