Justin Bieber delivers funny, factually-incorrect Black History Month monologue on Saturday Night Live

Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber was last week’s host and musical guest on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and though he may be known for being a multi-platinum recording artist, his comedic timing was right on cue.

“Girl you driving me crazy but did you also know that Denzel Washington invented the peanut?” Bieber said to one female audience member as he offered her a rose. He perused the audience looking for a “special girl” to help him celebrate that “special time of year, that romantic time of year… Black History Month,” he said.

Another day, another celebrity wades flippantly into controversial politics. The tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting brought out fierce opinions about gun control, but one Hollywood actor went so far as to say that certain gun owners’ lives weren’t “worth protecting.”

On Saturday, comedian Jim Carrey tweeted, “Any1 [sic] who would run out to buy an assault rifle after the Newtown massacre has very little left in their body or soul worth protecting. ;^\.” The “Ace Ventura” star’s comment comes almost two months after the horrific event in which a rogue gunman murdered twenty children and six adults in an elementary school in Newtown, CT.
