"There’s a lot going on in our country when you think about the relationship between Black people and the police,” said the comedian, who guest-hosted Thursday's show. “That relationship is so broken. So broken. I mean, the other day we had another police shooting, right? An unarmed black man, Jacob Blake, was shot in his back seven times,” Howery said. “He was shot seven times in front of his children. Unarmed. Thank God he’s not dead but he’s paralyzed from the waste down. He got shot in broad daylight in front of the community and in front of his babies.”
