'SNL' alum Chris Rock hosted for the fourth time this week, with Gracie Abrams as musical guest — but Adam Sandler's cameo in a late sketch upstaged them all.

There's no denying that Chris Rock is a comedy legend, but that's not because of the time he spent on 'Saturday Night Live' from 1990 to 1993. The former cast member, who rocketed to stardom post-'SNL' with his blistering stand-up comedy, returned to host for the fourth time this week.

But he settled in before too long after congratulating producer Lorne Michaels on '25 great years of 'Saturday Night Live’' — on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. From there, Rock bore down on targets including Mangione , Mike Tyson's boxing opponent Jake Paul and president-elect Donald Trump's amazing year . The monologue got thornier as it went, with Rock speculating on American presidents who could be considered rapists and about which Latinos Trump might deport.
