Comedian Louis CK hosted Saturday Night Live’s series finale over the weekend
He started off the show with an opening monologue that covered a few controversial issues – including an attempted comedic take on the issue of child abuse. To get the quotes in context, you can watch the full clip here:
The particular quote that has been the talk of social media since was this line:
Child molesters are very tenacious people.
And the fact that he compared the abuse to his love of US candy Mounds Bars:
They do taste delicious, but they don’t taste as good as a young boy does, and shouldn’t, to a child molester.
Near the end of the show’s opening he acknowledged the audience’s reaction to the line:
How do you think I feel? It’s my last show, probably.
