Chris didn’t just push the envelope in his monologue. In a sketch poking fun at the show “Shark Tank,” Rock appeared as a member of the terrorist group ISIS who was trying to get funding for the organization. The skit made fun of the varying names of the group as well as their logo. The “Sharks” passed on the group’s pitch, but Kenan Thompson’s character announced that he called Homeland Security, who burst into the “Shark Tank” and busted the terrorist organization. Rock also starred in a new installment of “How’s He Doing,” in which African-Americans comment on President Obama’s term in office. Rock didn’t just stick to current events, he also made fun of popular culture in a fake advertisement for medicine promising to cure vertigo caused by Taylor Swift.

Saturday’s episode also broke from the show’s typical format. Instead of two musical performances, musical guest Prince took the stage for one long jam session. Backed by the band 3rdeyegirl, Prince welcomed guest vocalist Lianne La Havas for their duet “Clouds” from his album “Art Official Age.” He then dove into his songs “Marz” and “AnotherLove” from his and 3rdeyegirl’s album “Plectrumelectrum.”

We loved funny man Chris Rock and Prince killed his performance. What did you think?
