Comedian Dave Chappelle is slated to host 'Saturday Night Live,' despite his past transgender comments, as some show writers reportedly refuse to work on the episode due to his appearance.
Chappelle responds with"of course," and the"SNL" star then questions,"with you…in this news cycle?"
Chappelle’s"SNL" introduction comes on the heels of the comedian making controversial jokes about the transgender community in his 2021 Netflix special,"The Closer." "SNL" writer Celeste Yim, whose pronouns are they/them – featured in their Instagram bio -- reportedly posted a message to their social media story amid Chappelle’s scheduled appearance.
