Chris Rock made a brutal dig at Bill Clinton while also slamming liberals worried about the incoming Trump presidency during his Saturday Night Live monologue.

In what was hailed as one of the funniest opening monologues in recent times, Rock placed comedy above politics as he took swipes at both sides of the political spectrum.

'There's a lot going on in the news, my God, it's so crazy out there,' Rock stated as he began his seven-minute opening act.

Rock said it had been a 'bad year for my people, blacks', as he referenced Kamala Harris' loss in November's election.

But then switching sides, Rock took a few swipes at President-elect Donald Trump.

'Trump had a good year, man,' Rock said. 'Trump survived an assassination attempt. Won the presidency again by winning the popular vote. Was just named 'Time' man of the year. You know? It could happen to a nicer guy,' he jibed.

'A lot of people are scared. Like, "oh, my God, he's going to be so undignified." When I say a lot of people, I'm talking about the nine New Yorkers that didn't vote for him, okay?', Rock said, poking fun at liberals.

He then quickly moved on to suggest Trump was far from being the only bad actor who had occupied the White House in American history.

'Come on, man, this is not the most dignified job in the world. We've had presidents show up to the inauguration with pregnant slaves, okay? And I'm just talking about Bill Clinton,' Rock said in one of his more memorable zingers.

'Dude. It's the United States,' joked Rock. 'I mean, you know what country we live in. You know the history of this country. You know how many rapists are in my wallet right now? A cup of coffee in America costs seven rapists,' Rock said to raucous laughter. 'Trump's going to get it down to three.'
