Anybody calling what Chappelle said in The Closer “transphobic” is either: an idiot, didn’t watch or both.I, for one, am looking forward to watching as this will probably be the best episode SNL has done in years.
'SNL' fans decry Dave Chappelle hosting announcement: 'What the hell Lorne?!'
After transphobic remarks in his Netflix special 'The Closer' caused an outcry, 'SNL's' decision to have Chappelle back as host sparked criticism.www.yahoo.com
I agree it's stupid.
Since the beginning of time comedians/court jesters have been making jokes that can make people uncomfortable. Sometimes people laugh and sometimes people boo and throw rotten garbage. If you offended the royal family you might get beheaded. Talk about a rough crowd.
Lenny Bruce wants to talk with Chappelle about what it really looks like to be cancelled.
To be fair he had mostly lost it by the end didn’t he?Lenny Bruce wants to talk with Chappelle about what it really looks like to be cancelled.
Sure, but he had already been convicted by the govt for telling jokes by that point. 😳

WGAFF what Chappelle or SNL say, think or do? Y'all are a bunch of old ladies and teenage girls gossiping about celebrities? Why?I, for one, am looking forward to watching as this will probably be the best episode SNL has done in years.

No surprise you miss the message and look only at the wrapper.
You’re TMP hiding behind a fake name, like a li’l bitch
Sad that you can't tell the difference between a comic facing a free market response to his jokes and a comic being prosecuted by the government.
Old handle. Like farva but older. I say we let it be. Thunderdome.
That’s a massive stretch to call this latest situation a “free market” response.
I read that he disagrees with them. Where I disagree with him on the definition of a fair market response. Employees threatening to quit isn’t a free market. Blue haired freaks shouting someone down in an auditorium isn’t free market.
That's right. No one is going to jail. That is not coming back. the angry towns people with rotten garbage though...
Ugh, what an awful movie. Dont' think he's made a good movie since.
Dogma is great! Why are you trying to cancel it?
Not in the least. The show was sold out hours later at a new venue. A free and rational market means the theater owner lost out on thousands - and would have not cancelled the show. The free market wanted the show.
But employees can be irrational actors in a free market. I hope they were also all blackballed as well.
Some of those sketches were great. I loved his interview with Letterman on netflix. Lately, you can tell he got the netflix money than made the stand up sets, instead of having great material than getting paid.
I know that is a popular take, but disagree. I think they should have a longer leash, but i don't think anybody gets to say anything they want w/out any issue. There are 2 types of art; good art and bad art...that pertains to comedy, music, watercolors....
Of course. Labor gets to decide what it is willing to do for the compensation being offered and management gets to decide whether it wants to employ and at what price point. That sure seems like classic free market to me. I certainly wouldn't hire those people again if I were the venue.
The answer isn't to silence them. The answer to not liking a comedian is to not listen to them. Go listen to someone else. There is literally millions of options for entertainment. Dave Chappell doesn't have some sort of monopoly.
Disagree. If a comedian isn’t funny, don’t go to the shows or watch the special. Hell, if they aren’t funny they are getting the Netflix deal anyway. It’s a meritocracy. Now, if we as a country start all thinking a horrifically racist comic is funny, I’ll reevaluate.
