In SNL Monologue, Louis CK Causes Controversy with Jokes on Racism, Child Molesters

Louis CK’s Saturday Night Live Opening Monologue Was Awesomely Offensive (The Federalist)

Louis CK hosted this weekend’s season finale of Saturday Night Live. The opener made light fun of the weird and robotic Hillary Clinton (played by the wonderful Kate McKinnon). Some skits were mildly funny. Most were not. Weekend Update, with Michael Che and Colin Jost, is still underperforming, sadly. Rihanna performed the catchy-but-not-great “Bitch Better Have My Money” and less-catchy “American Oxygen.” US Weekly — always a reliable source for music critiques — said she “pushed boundaries” but I honestly have zero idea what those boundaries might have been.
