Louis C.K. is known for his outlandish jokes, but many think he’ gone too far. Last night (May 16) the veteran comedian was the host of Saturday Night Live’s season finale with Rihanna as the special music guest. While fans were hype to see the episode, Louis’ opening monologue seemed to take away from the rest of the show. Social media went off on him for his tasteless jokes about “mild racism” and child molesters. Find out what he said after the jump!
During his opening monologue on SNL, Louis C.K. made some wild jokes about having “mild racism” and an experience with child molesters. The crowd in the audience and at home were not happy about it. The comic started off smoothly by talking about growing up in the 1970s, but started losing people after he said that racist slurs weren’t a big deal back then. The crowd really began groaning after his comments about child molesters.
“Child molesters are very tenacious people,” he noted, “From their point of view, it must be amazing to risk so much!”
He also made a controversial comparison about his children, who apparently “fight the same way as Palestine and Israel.” Viewers took to social media to vent their feelings about Louis’ “bad jokes.” Some claim that they were offended by his “mild racism” and weren’t amused with his “experience” with child molesters. At least he realized he messed up by the time the monologue came to a close. “How do you think I feel? This is my last show, probably,” he joked.
I thought #LouisCK was not funny in his opening monologue & offensive with his racial "comedy" #SNL shouldn't of aired it
