Nah, they don't normally (if ever?) have the same person two years in a row.

 

I always liked him, but I wasn't wowed.

Not clever & definitely not well done ... he left the stage at the end shouting " black lives matter" ..... very disrespectful to all in attendance & all watching on TV!

Chris Rock is a very smart man whose humor is maturing just as he is. Great job tonight.

I hate cryptic threads.

 

The whole idea of a thread title is to let people know what you want to discuss, not to make others guess what in the world you're talking about.

Didn't watch. Not really interested in the lives of the rich and miserable. Just too much hype over celebrities today, in my opinion. I don't really care who came, what their political agenda was, what they were wearing etc. I have better things to entertain myself with.

@Mominohio, words from a wise woman! When it was over, I thought, really? Although there were entertaining moments, it was too long to maintain my attention throughout. If I wanted political, I would pick my fav channel. This was the first time in several years I watched. Hope I remember this next year.

This morning I woke and wondered why I watched the whole thing.

I agree, very well done. I also had a real laugh-out-loud-n when Tracy Morgan did the Danish Woman. Hilarious !

I love Chris Rock (usually, he's funny as hell, intelligent and topical), but, I thought he fell flat last night. It was all so disjointed.

 

What I found most egregious, though, was, other than the cringe-worthy PriceWaterhouse bit, the exclusion never mentioned Asians, Hispanics, all other minority groups- people who are represented even less than blacks. What about them? 

 

On a lighter note, yes, Tracy Morgan was hilarious. Smiley LOL

Why was Stacey Dash included in a skit with Chris Rock?
