Bill Burr's controversial 2020 monologue resurfaces amidst SNL return

Bill Burr's fans love him because he plainly states how he feels. Saturday Night Live fans were less accustomed to this approach, which is why the comedian's 2020 monologue caught so many of them by surprise. It saw the comedian take aim at white women for "hijacking" the woke movement that surfaced during the late 2010s.

We're not in the interest of digging up "dirt" on comedians, or trying to repurpose statements from previous appearances as a means of besmirching them, but it's worth revisiting Burr's monologue in light of the recent election because, well, the internet has decided to revisit it.

Burr was criticized for calling out white women

Donald Trump won the 2024 Presidential election, and some people took to social media to criticize certain groups for providing him with support. One of these groups was white women, and so Burr's comments began making the rounds in video form.

Several Twitter users posted the SNL monologue while taking shots at white women for choosing to largely vote for Trump's reelection. "Bill Burr’s SNL monologue about white women is evergreen," one fan wrote. Another claimed that the comedian "said it best when discussing white women."

Burr did not simply point the figure at white women during his 2020 monologue, he positioned them as being complicit in the damaging actions white men have taken against minority groups throughout America's history:

"The nerve of you white women. You guys stood by us toxic white males through centuries of our crimes against humanity. "

Burr will host the first post-2024 election episode

He urged white women to "sit down" and take their "talking-to" alongside white men when it comes to listening to the issues posed by minority groups. Burr's first SNL appearance also took place during an election year, but it was a month before Joe Biden was appointed.

It'll be fascinating to see how the comic decides to navigate the fallout of Donald Trump's reelection. One thing is for sure, he is not going to hold his tongue when it comes to the monologue. Bill Burr's episode of Saturday Night Live airs on November 9.
