In his SNL monologue, Dave Chappelle began by denouncing antisemitism and then proceeded to echo the same conspiracies that got Kanye in trouble
. And before he even took the stage at Studio 8H for his monologue, there was palpable anger on social media and thehas its first gender nonbinary cast member in Molly Kearney.for the past couple of years, Chappelle may have dug himself an even deeper hole by—deliberately—defending the essence of Kanye West’s antisemitic rhetoric through comedy.
Chappelle went on to explain that over his 35 year career, he has come to learn that there are “two words in the English language that you should never say together in sequence: ‘The’ and ‘Jews.’” And he had some strong jokes about West’s “death con 3” tweet and the ramifications he faced from Adidas and others for his words.
After noting that “Kanye got in so much trouble that Kyrie [Irving] got in trouble,” Chappelle said, “This is where I draw the line. I know the Jewish people have been through terrible things all over the world, but you can’t blame that on Black Americans.” That line was met with silence save for a single shout from the audience. “Thanks, the one person that said ‘woo.’”
There was much more to Chappelle’s monologue, which spanned more than 15 minutes and also covered Herschel Walker and what some are calling “the end of the Trump era.”
