Chris Rock and Megan Thee Stallion star in a socially distanced Saturday Night Live return to the studio

Chris Rock hosted the socially distanced return of Saturday Night Live to 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

The audience was socially distanced, the band all wore face masks and everyone -the host included- was tested for COVID-19 in the lead-up to the show. 

‘I haven’t had so much stuff up  my nose since I shared a dressing room with Chris Farley,’ quipped the Fargo actor, in reference to the late SNL star.

However the real star of the long-running variety show’s return was the musical act, Megan Thee Stallion. 

For her first song, the WAP hitmaker performed her track Savage while cloaking her curvaceous figure in Zebra print 

Her first track was notable for its powerful ‘protect black women’ message, which was literally projected on the studio walls by song’s end. 

Megan -whose real name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete- also performed her track Don’t Stop, which featured Young Thug, who also took to the stage for the performance.
