Larry David kicked off his Saturday Night Live hosting gig with some controversy.

The Curb Your Enthusiasm star wrapped up his opening monologue with a joke about picking up women in concentration camps.

David said: "I've always been obsessed with women, and I've often wondered if I'd grown up in Poland when Hitler came to power and was sent to a concentration camp, would I be checking women out in the camp? I think I would."

"However, there are no good opening lines in a concentration camp," David said.

Some people on Twitter didn't have the most positive reaction to David's opening statements, while others defended the host.

David also talked about "a very disturbing pattern emerging" with predators accused of sexual harassment, referencing producer Harvey Weinstein and the allegations that have surfaced against him.

"Not all but many of them are Jews," David said in reference to the Harvey Weinstein scandal. "I don't like when Jews are in the headlines for notorious reasons. I want ‘Einstein discovers the theory of relativity,' ’Salk cures polio.' What I don’t want? ‘Weinstein took it out.’"

"I consistently strive to be a good Jewish representative," David said. "When people see me I want them to say 'Oh, there goes a fine Jew for you!' "
