Chris Rock revealed how he feels about Jake Paul in his opening monologue while hosting Saturday Night Live.
First, Rock shared his thoughts on the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO. He then described how Black people are having a bad year, from Kamala Harris losing the presidential election to Diddy being arrested and charged with sex trafficking and assault.
One of the events that had Rock up in arms was when Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson during their highly anticipated bout last month. Rock said that Paul knocking out Tyson is outrageous and that he can't stand the YouTuber.
"What the hell? Who was this Jake Paul," Rock said. "27-year-old punching a 60-year-old man in the face. Is this what the white man has reduced himself to? Stop it. Who's he gonna fight next? Morgan Freeman? I hate Jake Paul. I got landlord hate for him. I hate him. I hate him like cocaine hates monogamy."
Paul went eight rounds with Tyson and defeated him unanimously. Judges scored Paul over Tyson by a significant margin, and the official scorecard showed how lopsided the fight was as Tyson landed 18 punches out of 97, and Paul had 78 out of 278.
Several people claimed the fight had special stipulations in the contract, such as Tyson not being able to show his full power.
In his monologue, Rock also noted how "fixated" everyone is on Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
“I really feel sorry for the family,” Rock said. “I mean everybody’s fixated on how good looking this guy looks. If he looked like Jonah Hill, nobody would care. They would have already given him the chair and he’d be dead.”
