Saturday Night Live Recap: Dave Chapelle's debut hosting and TV 'Comeback'

With the recent US elections that showed a huge upset of Donald Trump being the president-elect and ongoing rallies and riots in various parts of America, Saturday Night Live is a show to look out for because of their mix of comedy and political commentaries. Luckily for them, Dave Chapelle is here.

In his hosting debut at the 41-year-old sketch variety show, Chapelle had his opening monologue about Donald Trump, African-Americans, Muslims and America itself with his signature style of standup comedy. America has done it. We've actually elected an internet troll as our president, he said.

Chapelle also addressed the riots happening in America, joking that it would have been viewed differently by white and African-Americans. He said the $1 million damage done by the riots lead by white Americans is just "amateur" compared to the riots of African-Americans.

He shared his thoughts when he was invited in a White House party full of black people (and Bradley Cooper), and said that America has progressed from the times when black people are usually prevented to enter the White House gates.

Addressing Trump's racist rhetoric, Chapelle wished Trump would give African-Americans a chance to prove themselves just like how America is giving him a chance to prove that he can make America "great again."

In the cold opening of the show, Kate McKinnon portrayed Hillary Clinton playing the piano while singing "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. SNL hits two birds with one stone here, portraying the show's mourning on both Clinton loss and Cohen's death.

At the end of her singing, she looked at the camera and said she's not giving up on America and neither should they. Alec Baldwin, who portrayed Trump during the three debates, did not appear this time.

The musical guest, A Tribe Called Quest, sang two of their songs from their upcoming album "We Got It From Here...Thanks 4 Your Service," their first album in 18 years: We the People and The Space Program with Busta Rhymes and Consequence. In We the People, they gave a tribute to their deceased member Phife Dawg, who died earlier this year from diabetes complications.

Here are the sketches and their highlights:

-       Election Night: Supporters of Hillary Clinton (Cecily Strong, Aidy Bryant, Vanessa Bayer, Beck Bennet, Chapelle, and surprise guest Chris Rock) are expecting her to win, making a history of America having its first female president. The white supporters were surprised but Chapelle and Rock were not really surprised with the result. It ridicules liberal illusions of Democrats, with Bennett quoting Bernie Sanders that with the shifting demographics, America might never have a Republican president.

-       Walking Dead Chapelle Show: Chapelle brought back his prominent Chapelle Show characters like Tyrone Biggums and his impersonation of Lil' Jon in the latest twist of US hit show The Walking Dead.

-       Inside SNL: A sketch-gone-wrong as Leslie Jones, Chapelle, Bryant, Kyle Mooney, Kenan Thompson, and Mikee Day faced the press to answer their questions on how the skit went wrong.

-       Last Call with Dave Chapelle: Chapelle and McKinnon made inappropriate flirting in front of Thompson.

-       Kids on Trump: Vanessa Bayer asks young children their thoughts on the president-elect

-       Love and Leslie: Leslie Jones and Kyle Mooney revealed that they are dating.

-       Football game: Mooney, Chapelle, Thompson, Pete Davidson, and Alex Moffat are watching the football game and Chapelle's friends found out that he is still getting breastfeed from his mother played by Jones.

Next week's host is SNL alumnae Kristin Wiig with musical guest the xx.
