Chappelle discussed Covid-19, race relations in America, and of course the 2020 election in his monologue on the show.

He said that he isn't as optimistic as Donald Trump is, and that he would be more likely to say that there are "bad people on both sides", referencing Trump once saying that there were fine people on both sides of a racist protest.

Speaking about Trump referring to Covid-19 as "the kung-flu", Chappelle said that Trump was a "racist, hilarious son of a bitch", adding "I'm supposed to say that, not you."

He then took aim at US politician Chris Christie, who recently tested positive for Covid-19. Chappelle said: "Everything in Chris Christie's body, coronavirus likes to eat."
