Jerrod Carmichael made his 'SNL' hosting debut and just had to talk about the only thing everyone's been talking about the whole week.
And, to show just how endless the debate and controversy has been, he doesn't, not once, need to say Smith or Rock's name.
"I'm not going to talk about it. I want to be clear up top. I talked about it enough. Kept talking about it. Kept thinking about it. I don't want to talk about it. And you can't make me talk about it. But, I've got a question: Do you want to talk about it? Like aren't you sick of talking about it? Isn't it kind of crazy -- it feels like we've been talking about it for so long," Carmichael said, immediately after introducing himself.
"This is going to really blow your minds. Can you believe that it's been six days? Six days! This happened a week ago," he added, over gales of laughter. "Doesn't it feel like it happened years ago? Like doesn't it feel like it happened when we were all in high school? Like it feels like it happened between Jamiroquai and 9/11. A long, long time ago. It happened on Sunday. Sunday! It's Saturday, bro.
"On Monday it was exciting. I'm not going to lie. If this were Monday, you wouldn't be able to get me to shut up about it," he recalled."Tuesday, still talking about it. A little less exciting because it stopped being about it on It started being about a lot of proxy arguments.... By Wednesday I wanted to kill myself."
"But by Friday, by Friday, I made a vow to myself. I promised myself I would never, ever talk about it again," Carmichael continued."Then Lorne [Michaels] came into my dressing room. He was like, 'I think you need to talk about it.' He said, 'The nation needs to heal.'"
