Aziz Ansari’s “Saturday Night Live” monologue takes on race, politics, and the protest march

 January 22, 2017      Matt      Aziz Ansari, Saturday Night Live, Stand-Up    

Last night, Aziz Ansari hosted Saturday Night Live and as most comedians do, he chose to forgo anything sketch related and perform a stand-up set. Opening by declaring what a great time it was that a brown guy was there telling jokes on the day after the inauguration.

Ansari ran the gamut of current issues facing the nation, the lowercase kkk bringing on the resurgence of racism, how Drumpf might be the Chris Brown of Presidents, and how his family isn’t going anywhere. He ended with an acknowledgement of the massive Women’s march yesterday saying “change comes from large groups of angry people” and that yesterday leads him to think we’ll be alright.
