Comedian wishes president-elect 'good luck' and urges empathy for displaced people 'whether they're in the Palisades or Palestine'
monologue to wish him good luck, and to urge everyone to have empathy for all displaced peoples–“whether they’re in the Palisades or Palestine.”a presidential or midterm election, Chappelle covered a lot of ground, beginning with recapping discussions with executive producer Lorne Michaels about when he would next host. When Michaels had asked him to host after November’s election, Chappelle said he replied, “Nah, man. I’m cool.
After noting how well-known friends of his lost their homes, Chappelle joked: “Then I go on the internet and I watch these fire videos, and I read the comment sections and everyone’s like, ‘Yeah, it serves these celebrities right! I hope their houses burn down!’ You see that? That right there? That’s why I hate poor people.”
“A lot of my friends asked me, ‘Dave, did you know anything about those freakoff parties?’ I’d be like, ‘No, man. I don’t know anything about freakoffs.'” Here’s the thing: On Monday, Donald Trump’s coming back. He’ll be the 47th president. He’s done it again. And all the flags will be half staff because Jimmy Carter died. Jimmy Carter–people go back and forth and say he was a bad president or a good president. I’m not qualified to speak on that. But I’ll tell you this: I was in the Middle East years ago after I quit my show. I was trying to find out what I wanted to do with my life.
