NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – It was the highlight of last night’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ hosted by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. While he was delivering his opening monologue, Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was standing by backstage waiting for his cue.

Then it was time. As Trump was wrapping up his monologue, the cameras shifted backstage as Sanders screamed “Trump’s a racist!”

Trump said he was never informed that Sanders would be appearing on the same show and accused SNL producers of maliciously plotting to embarrass him. He’s threatening to sue.

Meanwhile, Sanders said the only reason he agreed to the cameo appearance was because SNL gave him $5,000 towards his campaign.

KRIS AQUINO’S NEWLY-EARNED TITLE : ‘TELL-ALL QUEEN’

November 2, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Actress and television host Kris Aquino has just added a new title to her name : Tell-all Queen.

The younger sister of President NoyNoy Aquino is known as the ‘Queen of All Media’ and the ‘Oprah Winfrey’ of the Philippines (or so she wished).

Her newest accolade came just days after she publicly revealed details of her botched romantic relationship with former child actor and now mayor of Quezon City Herbert Bautista.

In a post on her blog titled “The State of My Heart,” Aquino described how after a few months of being in a relationship, a “tired” Bautista popped “the least romantic proposal a woman has ever received.” She apparently said ‘yes’ to Bautista’s marriage proposal.

Aquino is known as a celebrity who can’t seem to keep her personal life in wraps. Previously, she made public what she described as her abusive relationship with a married politician, Joey Marquez, and accused him of giving her a sexually-transmitted disease.

Recently, amid rumors that her president brother was ‘dating’ Miss Philippines-Universe Pia Wurtzbach, Aquino promised — during a live broadcast — that she would make for a great sister-in-law.

Speaking to reporters today, Aquino said she was humbled but very appreciative of the new title given to her and promised to do her best to live up to it.

MARGARET CHO RANTS: ‘ONLY THREE-QUARTERS ASIAN AMERICAN’ HOSTED SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE IN 41 YEARS

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – Comedian Margaret Cho criticized Saturday Night Live for not ever having an Asian American host for 41 years now. She made the comment while protesting the fact that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump whom he described as a “racist, sexist and incestuous man, ” will be returning to the late-night show as host for the second time on November 7.

When asked which Asian American personality should be invited as SNL host, Cho said, “Me, of course!”

When others pointed out to Cho that in fact there had been two previous SNL hosts who were Asian American — Fred Armisen, a quarter Japanese and Rob Schneider, half Filipino– she replied:

“People come at me and say, ‘Oh, Fred Armisen is a quarter Japanese, Rob Schneider is half Filipino.’ Yeah, that makes three-quarters of an Asian-American, not even in one person, in 41 years.”

Cho, was born in America to Korean parents. So that, in effect, makes her part American and part Korean.

“If I am invited to host SNL, then that would make for a total of one and a quarter Asian American hosts for the show in 41 years” she added.

A quick check of SNL archives, however, shows that other Asian Americans have hosted SNL: Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Bruno Mars. So that totals three and three-quarters, without Cho.
