In the first episode of 'Saturday Night Live' in 2025, guest host Dave Chappelle and cast member Marcello Hernández star in a sketch about the struggles of being an immigrant parent with sons who don't quite fit in. The sketch follows Joaquin Antonio and his neighbor, Black Richard (Chappelle), as they bond over their sons' eccentric interests, such as improv comedy and veganism.
Guest host Dave Chappelle and cast member Marcello Hernández share a moment of commiseration over their sons who seem to be a bit out of the ordinary in the first episode of the legendary comedy show in 2025. The sketch finds Joaquin Antonio and his neighbor, whom he calls Black Richard (Chappelle), bonding over how their sons' cultural interests, including doing improv comedy and embracing a vegan diet, leave them utterly perplexed. 'Welcome to 'Immigrant Dad Talk Show.
' This is the show where we're talking about our children, the ones we love and the sons as well,' Joaquin Antonio says in a thick Cuban accent as he and Richard sit on lawn chairs smoking cigarettes. 'My son loves TikTok. I tell him, 'Let me TikTok to you about something,' Joaquin Antonio says angrily. 'Get a job, man. You are broke and you are ugly. You can't be both.' Joaquin Antonio then commiserates with Richard about how their sons love to 'go to Brooklyn to do improv with the white people.' 'Which reminds me, my son the other day, he say to me, 'I want to be vegan.' I say, 'Vegan talk about this after you eat the chicken!'' he shouts. Joaquin Antonio later brings out another guest, a white neighbor named Kevin (Mikey Day), who could give Mister Rogers a run for his money when it comes to a gentle disposition. Kevin tells viewers he works as a guidance counselor at a school for kids with learning disabilities. When Joaquin Antonio asks his guests what they would do if their sons angrily slammed a door in front of them, Kevin responds that he would approach the situation using the 'three Cs' — communication, compassion and care, which prompts laughter and lewd jokes from the other men. Richard quips that he would be 'amazed' if his son could slam his bedroom door since he no longer has one. 'I took it off the hinges because he got addicted to pornography,' he shares. 'Hey dad, I'm so lucky to be your son,' Connor tells his father. The father-son duo then proudly demonstrate their secret handshake, which concludes with a peck on the lips that makes Joaquin Antonio and Richard reel in horror. The sketch concludes with Richard bringing out one of his sons (Devon Walker) for a moment. The twist? Father and son have apparently never met each other until now. 'Nice to meet you, too,' Richard tells his son before the young man dashes off. 'SNL' viewers commented underneath a video of the sketch on YouTube to say they got a kick out of it.
