Dave Chappelle returned to Saturday Night Live, sharing his views on current events.

The comedian, 51, hosted the show for the fourth time on Jan. 18, delivering another monologue where he discussed topics like Donald Trump and the recent fires in California.

Addressing the fires, Chappelle quipped, “The other day on the news, they said these fires were the most expensive tragedy in U.S. history. But let’s be honest, it’s L.A.—they have nice stuff!”

“A lot of my friends ask me, ‘Dave, did you know about those parties?'” Chappelle joked.
