Dave Chappelle’s ‘SNL’ Opening Monologue Addresses Kanye West 

On Saturday Night Live, Dave Chappelle’s opening monologue discussed Donald Trump, the midterm elections, and Kanye “Ye” West’s antisemitic remarks.

The comedian opened by reciting a statement that he claimed to have written. “I reject antisemitism in all of its manifestations.

“And that, Kanye, is how you buy yourself some time,” he continued, “and I stand with my friends in the Jewish community.”

Chappelle focused a large portion of his set on West, attacking the rapper and businessman for believing he was untouchable until Adidas, among other partners, fired him due to a string of antisemitic comments on social media.

Ironically, he claimed, Nazis founded Adidas, and even they were offended.

Chappelle also touched on the controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving, who was recently suspended from the Brooklyn Nets for a minimum of five games after sharing a link to the antisemitic documentary Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America.

Isaiah Lee Was Also Arrested During The Show: What Happened?

Isaiah Lee, who attacked Dave at the Hollywood Bowl, was also arrested.

The man accused of stabbing comedian Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl has reportedly been charged with attempted murder for allegedly stabbing his roommate at a transitional housing facility in December, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

According to the prosecution, Lee was identified and apprehended in the initial attack partly because of the publicity that followed the Chappelle incident.

A message was left asking a lawyer representing Lee for comment but did not receive a prompt response from the county public defender’s office.

On May 3, Lee was arrested for allegedly rushing the stage and tackling Chappelle during his stand-up performance at the Hollywood Bowl.
