Oh boy. Dave Chappelle hosted SNL for the third time Saturday night. A controversial decision by the program and NBC considering the uproar around Chappelle’s transphobic jokes in multiple recent comedy specials (most recently “The Closer” on Netflix.) Many people argued that Chappelle should stop being given platforms for his hateful rhetoric and it has been rumored that several writers for SNL boycotted this episode and refused to write sketches for it (though Chappelle claims all writers were present when pitching him sketch ideas). 

However, it appears that (for now) Chappelle has moved on from making trans people the butt of his jokes in favor of flirting with… anti-semitism. Yup, you read that right. Chappelle found himself unable to resist talking about the recent backlash that Kanye and Kyrie Irving faced for sharing anti-semitic and hateful rhetoric and spent the majority of his 16 minute opening monologue making jokes about the controversy. You can watch the entire speech (if you really want to) here:
