‘SNL’ Host Dave Chappelle Plays A Secret Criminal Forced To Evacuate During L.A. Wildfires


Dave Chappelle not only highlighted the L.A. County wildfires during his opening monologue on Saturday Night Live but he also spoofed the evacuations.

Dave Chappelle not only touched on the L.A. County wildfires during his opening monologue on Saturday Night Live but also spoofed the evacuations by pretending to be a criminal with a whole lot to hide. Plenty, it seems: there’s also a gun and a very important thumb drive hidden behind the clock, along with a knife-wielding man (Michael Longfellow) who wants his cash back and a trio of mysterious Frenchies socked away in the cabinet. Alas, the skit ends with another alert saying the call to evacuate was a false alarm — a callback to the bogus notice that went out last week to all of L.A. County and panicked residents who were nowhere near the fire.
