Dave Chappelle changed his performance at the last minute to the surprise of the producers.

The 49-year-old Chappelle did not let this slow him down, but continued on the controversial line. According to sources, he presented a fake version of his performance to the show’s producers during SNL dress rehearsals. When she took the stage live, her opening monologue sounded completely different than it did in rehearsal.
Neither representatives of NBC, which airs the show, nor the producers of SNL, gave their approval in advance of Chappelle’s edited performance. The comedian’s decision to change his performance at the last minute came as a complete surprise to them.
– Dave did a fake monologue in rehearsals because he didn’t want anyone to know anything about his real monologue, says the source.
Kanye West has also been criticized for anti-Semitism. PDO
Chappelle again touched on touchy subjects in his show, as he was criticized for normalizing anti-Jewish speech.
In his 15-minute long stand-up performance, Chappelle talked about, among other things, Kanye West (now Ye), who has been criticized for his hate speech directed at Jews.
– I want to read the statement I wrote beforehand. I do not accept anti-Semitic speech and I stand by my Jewish friends, Chappelle said at the beginning.
However, Chappelle’s statement was followed by a comment that showed his previous words to be sarcastic.
The decision to cast Chappelle on SNL was incomprehensible to many. PDO
– And by saying those words, you buy yourself a little more time Kanye, Chappelle finished his joke.
The comedian continued on the same line, referring in addition to Ye to basketball star Kyrie Irving, who was banned from the game after promoting a movie containing hatred of Jews on social media.
Chappelle also acknowledged the writer of SNL who refused to participate in an episode starring Chappelle due to his transphobic remarks.
