Dave Chappelle’s Lengthy Monologue Bumped ‘SNL’s Tribute to David Lynch

As the world continues to mourn the recent passing of David Lynch, this past weekend, the legendary artist and filmmaker received a shout-out from an unlikely source: Saturday Night Live.

Despite the fact that Lynch never hosted SNL and was never a cast member (at least not on this plane of reality), before the closing goodnights of the Dave Chappelle-hosted episode, the show aired a still photo of Lynch, as they did with Dabney Coleman after the former host died last year. 

The ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Murder: 3 Famous Crime Stories With Follow-Ups That Changed Everything

When we hear about a crazy crime story, we share it with our readers as soon as possible, because blowing your mind is what makes us happiest. The only problem there is the full story of any crime might not become truly known until long after the original headlines.

For example, the world once went nuts over the story of a man who showed up to a bank wearing a bomb collar. Unseen masterminds had ensnared him in this trap and forced him to rob the place. Years later, investigators uncovered that the robber had really been in league with those masterminds. The plan had been for him to wear a fake bomb collar, pretending to be the victim of some supervillain’s scheme. But then his partners had betrayed him by putting a real bomb on him instead, which blew him up, and also blew up their chances of getting the bank’s money.
