Dave Chappelle famously hosted Saturday Night Live’s first episode following Donald Trump’s unexpected victory in 2016. Now, the veteran comedian is set to return to Studio 8H for SNL’s first episode following the 2020 election.
The 2016 episode marked Chappelle’s first time hosting SNL, and featured several sketches addressing the results of the election. Most notably, Chappelle and Chris Rock appeared in a skit spoofing an election party attended by horrified liberals. The episode earned Chappelle an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.
Chappelle’s return to SNL follows news that both Netflix and HBO Max acquired non-exclusive streaming rights to Chappelle’s Show and will begin streaming episodes today, November 1st.
Below, revisit the aforementioned sketch from SNL’s post-2016 election episode featuring Chappelle and Rock:
