Roy Moore finds timing of assault allegations ‘unbelievable'
He and comedian Louis C.K. were referenced within a week of the news surfacing, a change in pace from the height of the Weinstein saga.

“I'm pretty sure the answer is never,” Jost replied.
The “Weekend Update” anchor jokingly conceded that everyone “you've ever heard of is a sex monster.”

Jost was referring to Louis C.K. and his fall from fame after confirming he masturbated in front of unwilling women — including fellow comedians — on multiple occasions.
Comedian and host Tiffany Haddish alluded to the “Louis” creatorin her monologue, but not by name.
“If your thing’s out, and she’s got all her clothes on, you’re wrong. You are in the wrong,” the 37-year-old “Girls Trip” star said.
“Wait until she takes her own clothes off, then pull your thing-thing out.”
