Chris Rock started his night on Saturday Night Live with a controversial monologue, and kept on rolling with the outrageous jokes as the episode went on.

In one sketch, Rock and SNL cast members play ISIS militants who are pitching to judges on ABC reality show Shark Tank.

They ask for funding to "rid the world of the filthy western pig and the vile Jew,” show the judges maps of ISIS land holdings and explain their social media strategy.

However, Shark Tank judge Barbara Corcoran (played by Kate McKinnon) is unimpressed.

"Here's my problem, honey," she said. "I'm hearing ISIS, ISIS, ISIS, but your pamphlet says ISIL -- you lack a unified brand."

Ultimately, the Shark Tank judges don't bite, and the militants are hauled away by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
