Saturday Night Live pulled in their highest ratings since February with host Chris Rock and musical guest Prince but nobody was laughing at Chris Rock's opening monologue…
Chris Rock's monologue fell flat after he opened with jokes about the Boston bombing and 9/11.
Chris joked,
"That Boston Marathon was scary, because I love Boston. I love the people there, but that was probably the most frightening, sadistic terrorist attack ever. Just think about it -- 26 miles! People jogging for 26 miles, their knees are hurting, their feet are killing them, if you're a woman, there's blood coming out your titties. You've been training for a year, you finally get to the finish line, and somebody yells, 'RUN!'"and about the new Freedom Tower that replaced the World Trade Center downed by terrorists on 9/11,
"They should change the name from the Freedom Tower to the 'Never Going in There Tower,' 'cause I'm never going in there,. Who's the corporate sponsor, Target? They put another skyscraper in the same spot? I am never going in the Freedom Tower. I got robbed on 48th and 8th a few years ago, I have not been back to 48th and 8th."
