Dave Chappelle takes to the Studio 8H stage for the New Year's premiere episode of Saturday Night Stay, marking his fourth time hosting the show on the Internet.
He walked on stage wearing a suit, smoking a cigarette, and said, “Boy, I'm going to let you know something. I'm very trustworthy. I'm in trouble tonight. It started in October.” Lorne Michaels Call me “I”.
Chappelle recounted how he asked him to host the show. “The main thing was after the election,” Chappell recalled. “I once said, no, I'm cool.” He described how he then asked Michaels, “Save the date closest to January 6th. What do you already know? I'll probably just scrap all the previous specials.” Trump joke. I'll do it!” The comic paused and said, “The moment I said yes, Los Angeles was on fire!”
Chappelle, who is known for making some controversial jokes, including about transgender people, said: “I'm tired of being controversial. I'm trying to show a new side. Trying to joke about a few disasters like this is still… Came too soon. This is right near my residence.”
Chappelle rattled off the names of actors he had worked with, such as Dennis Quaid, who had been affected by the ongoing fires in Los Angeles. “It breaks my heart,” Chappelle said. He pointed out all the damaging feedback online about celebrities giving away their possessions. “You see there? That's why I hate poor people,” Chappelle said with a laugh. “Because they won't see the pain they had before.”
“The next day they were on the news saying these fires were the costliest tragedy that had ever happened in the history of the United States. I believe it was because the people in Los Angeles had good stuff. I would have spent six or seven dollars burning down 40,000 in Mississippi. acres of land,” Chappell said. He also floated different conspiracy theories about the cause of the fire. “If you're a person who thinks rationally about someone, you should at least consider the possibility that God hates these people,” Chappelle joked.
Chappell, sitting on a stool smoking a cigarette, continued: “A lot of poor people were affected, too. A lot of them found out the week of the fire that they'd forgotten their fireplace insurance. Luigi was like, 'You're welcome.'” He said in Said of Luigi Mangione, “That kid almost planned a true crime. The only thing he forgot about was shaving off his eyebrows.”
Chappelle, who lives in Ohio, spoke of Donald Trump's feedback last year about Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. “Trump is a wild man. He said that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, have been eating human dogs and cats. I live just one city away from Springfield. This is not true by any means. What’s going on in Springfield,” Chappell shared how he needed to help after receiving this feedback. “Every day I would drive to Springfield and have lunch at a Haitian restaurant.” He paused. “I honestly don't know what the meat was. But whatever, it was falling off the bone.”
“Being famous is no longer pleasant,” said the comedian, who likened being famous to raiding the coast of Normandy and losing comrades in battle. He talked about “Puffy” and the accusations surrounding Diddy. “A lot of my friends ask me, they say, Dave, do you know about these Freak Off events? [Diddy hosted]? “Chappell smiled.
He later stated that he was not invited to these events because “Oh my god, I'm ugly! It's a hard way to find out.” He continued, “Can you imagine when I was researching the newspapers and finding out: Everybody in Hollywood Have you ever had a party behind your back?”
Noting Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, Chappelle said, “Here's the factor: On Monday, Donald Trump is coming again. It's going to be 47th president. All flags were flown at half-mast due to the death of Jimmy Carter. Chappelle then told a story about Carter seeing a photo in Palestine of people cheering for the former president, saying, “The photo brought tears to my eyes.” ”
Chappell said that while he wasn't sure Carter was a good president, “he was a good person. It made me very proud to see that.”
Chappelle ended the unusually lengthy monologue by saying: “The presidency is not for little people. Donald Trump, I know you're watching this show right now, man, remember, whether people voted for you or not, They all depend on you.”
He wished Trump good luck, “The whole world is counting on you. Please do it higher next time.” Chappelle concluded emotionally: “Don't forget the humanity of the displaced, whether they are at the fence or in Palestine.”
