Did you really say you have Asperger’s on live TV?

“I’m actually making history tonight as the first person with Asperger’s to host SNL. I don’t always have a lot of intonation or variation in how I speak... which I’m told makes for great comedy. I know I sometimes say or post strange things, but that’s just how my brain works. To anyone I’ve offended, I just want to say, I reinvented electric cars and I’m sending people to Mars in a rocket ship. Did you think I was also going to be a chill normal dude?”
