You guys are taking it too far with the Chappelle hate. Guys is OBVIOUSLY not anti-trans/anti-jew. He’s a comedian and the best at it. He’s got gay and jew friends. I’m as leftist as one can be and i hate the way the left is destroying comedy as a whole.

Well the audience disagrees with you, along with Lorne Michaels.

It’s almost like there’s a contingent of vocal Twitter activists who are ready to condemn any and everything he says based not on the content of his material but because he said something they didn’t like about transgender people months ago?

He didn’t say Jewish people control Hollywood, he said he could understand why some people might think that. “There’s also a lot of Black people in Ferguson, Missouri, but that don’t mean they run the place.”

Maybe *this* time the weird nerds will convince the other weird nerds that zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Either that or one of the biggest names in comedy, who has hosted multiple times, used his position and rapport with the producers to hook his friends up.

BTW just for the dummies in this comment section trying to claim that only “old white males” like Dave Chappelle:

Maybe if you keep projecting your anger onto me, I’ll start believing that I’m angry.

It’s almost like absolutely anyone can say “such and such doesn’t deserve a career” and it couldn’t matter less.

Oh. Good. More Dave Chappelle discourse.

I just came to the comment section to see how out of touch people would be. Looks like I hit the jackpot. Time to admit you lost? The very very very small number of people who think there’s something wrong with Dave Chappelle should just come back to the real world and admit they’re wrong.

Cool, haven't watched SNL since the last time he hosted. Looking forward to it, thanks for letting me know AV Club!

Pretty savvy to save the announcement until immediately after Amy Schumer returns to host a lackluster episode, to mute backlash.

No no, that was the last time corny white liberals felt comfortable calling him funny. He’s still funny.

You showed them.

The obvious take is “it might be funny for a change.”

So  there is an actual chance there might be something funny on it for a change ?

Yeah so we can’t like Dave Chapelle anymore AV club said so.

For every series HBO has killed prior to a planned conclusion, they’ve greenlit several more seasons of expensive shows whose low ratings didn’t really justify the order, provided they were generating awards and buzz. HBO basically invented the planned series finale. Network shows used to just run until they were…

I always liked Westworld more in theory than execution, although the first season really did nail the positive side of puzzle-box storytelling. (But there’s always the negative side, which is that it’s nearly impossible to make the payoff live up to the buildup.) If you ever wanted a poster child for storytelling that…
