Legendary standup comic Chris Rock, a former cast member at “Saturday Night Live,” was back on the show Saturday to host.

During the 59-year-old’s monologue, he inserted himself into the world of combat sports voluntarily, unlike the time Will Smith assaulted him on stage at the Oscars, when it clearly was not by choice.

On Saturday’s show, Rock took aim at Jake Paul after his win over former boxing champ Mike Tyson, who is more than twice his age. Rock said he has a special kind of hate for Paul, who has been criticized for his boxing matchups on his climb up the ladder.

Check out Rock’s monologue and his gibe – mostly playful … or was it? – at Paul in the video above.
