Saturday Night Live writers are against Dave Chappelle's discriminatory comedy

The writers for Saturday Night Live have decided not to contribute to this weekend's broadcast because Dave Chappelle will be the primary guest. Some of the show's writers reportedly decided not to produce the episode Chappelle will host on November 12. For the first time since the debut of his debatable comedy special The Closer, which the LGBTQ+ community criticized for its transphobic and homophobic humour, Chappelle will be the headliner at a comedy event.



Chappelle last hosted Saturday Night Live in 2020, before Netflix released his 2021 special The Closer, which infuriated viewers since Chappelle's jokes were geared at the trans community.

What did Chappelle's representative have to say About the boycott?

They won't be participating in the show, a source said. But none of the performers is making any facial expressions. Chappelle's manager claims that nothing they saw at the writers' meetings they attended this week hinted at a boycott.
