Rock, who was part of the "SNL" cast in the early 1990s, said during his monologue that "it has not been good for my people... Blacks."

"It's not been a good year. Kamala. Diddy. Jake Paul beating Mike Tyson," Rock said. "Who is this Jake Paul? A 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 next? Morgan Freeman?" Rock added jokingly. "I hate Jake Paul. I hate him like cocaine hates monogamy."
