Louis C.K. Opens His SNL's 40th Anniversary Show by Talking About His "Mild Racism"

Saturday Night Live ended its 40th season this weekend, with Louis C.K. serving as its final host. It's customary for C.K. to start the gig with a stand-up monologue — he did it in 2014 — with no assistance from cast members or shticks. He did it again, only this time, his monologue was surprisingly risqué. He talked about his "mild racism" and how, when he grew up, every city had the "town child molester." Yep, he went there. It's the kind of material you might expect a comedian to whip out late at night at a club, but on Saturday Night Live? That's bold. Check out the clip below.
