Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s monologue on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend was interrupted by a protester — comedian Larry David.
Multiple groups had called on NBC to dump Trump from hosting the late night comedy show this weekend. But the network made a joke of it.
Trump was near the end of his of monologue when someone yelled, “You’re a racist!”
“Who the hell is — I knew this was gonna happen,” Trump said, as the camera panned to the protestor. “Who is that?”
The camera cut to David.
“Trump’s a racist!” David screamed.
“It’s Larry David,” Trump said. “What are you doing, Larry?”
“I heard if I yelled that, they’d give me $5,000,” David said.
“As a businessman, I can fully respect that. That’s OK,” Trump replied.
David had returned to the late night program on Saturday to impersonate Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Watch Trump’s monologue:
Nice. SNL now mocking the Latinos. When you’'re SNL, it’s what you do.
Funny stuff.
They had to acknowledge the elephant in the room and they did. The fact that it was Larry David, who was pretty much saying what he really believes, was perfect.
I guess I missed that.
Because I didn’t watch SNL because Trump.
Well, considering they let the elephant in, OK.
