Matt WalshWhen we did a retrospective on Bill Burr’s fading career, we tried to find the precise moment Burr went from being an entertaining comedian — which he was, at one point, believe it or not — to a joyless, unfunny, predictable shill for the political establishment.
At some particular moment in time, he transitioned from a world-class comedian to a guy with the sense of humor and comic instincts of a public school teacher. Scholars and historians have debated when this shift took place and why. We concluded that there’s a lot of truth to the theory that he married a black feminist and the rest was history.
No man’s sense of humor can survive a marriage to a feminist. Neither can his bank account, or his self-respect, or, in many cases, his children. So the once-edgy and funny comedian is now a finger-wagging HR representative. A fate that has claimed Howard Stern as well, and a whole host of other Gen X and Boomer comedians.
George Carlin was perhaps a pioneer in this regard. He was one of the first major comedians to deflate like a balloon toward the end of his life, becoming a limp, sad, droopy shell of what he had been. He stopped telling jokes entirely and just sat on stage delivering philosophical exposition that seemed really insightful and interesting if you were a freshman in high school enrolled in special ed classes. To anyone who went to a Carlin show expecting maybe a joke or two, it was confusing and disappointing.
A similar transformation has occurred with Dave Chappelle. Now, Chappelle has always been overrated. But he at least used to tell jokes. He’d give the setup and then land on the punchline. That’s how jokes work, in case you’re curious. Sometimes the punchlines were pretty good. He had a routine 20 years ago where he critiqued the residents of Sesame Street for their unfair treatment of Oscar the Grouch. It’s not funny when I retell it, but from Chappelle, it was amusing.
Mostly, though, Chappelle has spent his career making essentially the same three jokes about white people. The media treated him like Jesus back in the day for that reason alone. He was revolutionary. He made fun of white people. Who had ever heard of a black comedian making fun of white people? No black comedian had ever done it before, with the exception of every black comedian who has ever lived.
People consequently discuss “Chappelle’s Show” with the same reverence they reserve for “Citizen Kane” or Shakespeare. But if you go back and watch Chappelle’s Show now, you’ll be shocked by how lame a lot of it is. Not because it’s offensive or anything like that. It just lands flat.
There are about five Chappelle’s Show skits you remember because they introduced catchphrases into the culture. What you might not realize, or recall — I know I didn’t, until I went back and checked — is that those five skits are the only things the show ever did. When Chappelle ended his show, Comedy Central immediately went out seeking another black comedian to do skits about white people. That gave birth to “Key & Peele,” which actually holds up much better than Chappelle’s Show, probably because they produced a bunch of skits that had nothing to do with race at all. Then Peele left and started making horror movies, where every single movie is about how white people are evil. So, regression to the mean, I suppose.
At least, back then, Chappelle was trying to be funny. In recent years, however, he’s taken the Bill Burr-George Carlin-Howard Stern route. He ran out of jokes years ago. He told his three “white people are lame” jokes and couldn’t think of a fourth. So now he wanders around stage telling long, discursive stories, philosophizing, and impressing himself (if no one else) with how insightful he thinks he is.
Performing at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Chappelle reminded everyone — once again — that he’s no longer even vaguely interested in comedy, jokes, or making people laugh. He took the opportunity, without any kind of punchline in mind, to declare that he felt good about the fact that Charlie Kirk was publicly executed because of his political beliefs:
THIS IS NOT A JOKE ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK -> Dave Chapelle is creating public permission for more assassinations. He is telling his audience that if, hypothetically, they assassinated a RW figure, he would feel good about that too. That is what this is. https://t.co/fpcMoexIKE

There’s no joke here, no punchline. Like millions of other Leftists, he’s just happy that Charlie Kirk — a young man and the father of young children — was shot in the neck, on camera. That’s the only takeaway.
To be clear, this wasn’t an ad-lib. He’s apparently said the same thing before, most recently at a show in Toronto — although they confiscate phones at these shows, apparently out of embarrassment, and the footage hasn’t leaked, so we don’t know exactly what he said. But I saw people posting (at the time) that he joked about Charlie Kirk at a show in October, which makes this even worse — not because it’s offensive, but because it’s so incredibly lazy and witless.
It’s an offense against comedy more than anything else. Saying that you’re happy someone died is not a punchline, especially if it’s actually just a genuine reflection of what you truly think. It could be the setup to a punchline. A comedian may say something shocking or outrageous and then follow it with a punchline that subverts your expectations, goes in a direction you weren’t expecting, or somehow draws comedy out of that dark place.
Louis C.K. is particularly good at that. Which is why he’s maybe the only comedian of his generation who has managed to produce a funny comedy special at any point this decade. But Chappelle doesn’t subvert expectations, take the conversation in a surprising direction, or deliver any sort of punchline at all. What you just heard there is the whole joke. Which is to say, it’s not a joke. It’s just a statement. And making an outrageous statement with no setup or punchline is, at best, the “comedy” of a 75-IQ YouTube commenter. It’s the “comedy” of a Nigerian bot on Twitter. It’s not the comedy you’d expect from a guy performing at Madison Square Garden.
Yes, that footage does not include the full context of his statements. That’s true. A lot of people were saying, well, in context it might not be so bad. But when you look at additional footage that’s leaked from the set, it turns out that the full context is actually even worse:
“I’m sure Charlie Kirk is looking up at us right now, laughing so hard he can’t breathe”

It’s surprising — and somewhat encouraging — that, if you listen to these clips, the audience at Madison Square Garden didn’t burst out laughing. That’s what you’d expect, given how Leftists have been celebrating Kirk’s murder all over the Internet for the past year. But Chappelle’s audience — some of them, anyway — seemed shocked by what he said, more than anything. So maybe there’s some decency left, even in a city like New York. Of course, the glass-half-empty perspective is that it’s a sad thing to take solace in the fact that only half of the audience at Madison Square Garden laughed about Charlie Kirk getting murdered rather than the whole audience.
In any case, I’ve seen some people suggest that, well, Chappelle is just doing what comedians are supposed to do. He’s being “transgressive.” He’s saying something you’re not supposed to say, and therefore he’s “brave.” He’s carrying on the time-honored tradition of comedians who aren’t afraid to “speak truth to power.” There are a few major problems with this argument.
First of all, everyone on the Left mocks Charlie Kirk, so this doesn’t even qualify as “a thing you aren’t supposed to say.” Second, no, the point of comedy is not merely to say things you’re not supposed to say. Anyone can do that. Anyone can stand on stage and just rattle off a series of statements that will seem offensive to normal, decent people.
The art of comedy, again, is to find the funny thing in those dark places. The setup and the punchline. Chappelle skipped that step. It’s not comedy. It’s the equivalent of standing on stage and saying, “So, a rabbi and a nun walked into a bar.” And then just moving on to the next bit. You skipped the joke part. Instead, you just made an observation about a couple of random bar patrons.
Third, again, this is what he really believes. If I get up on stage and say, for instance, George Floyd was a drug-addled vagrant who died of an overdose, and his death was his own fault — that would qualify as something you aren’t supposed to say. But it’s not a joke. It’s not comedy, because it’s just a plain statement of a thing I actually believe. The thing I believe in this case — and which is definitely true — may be offensive to some people. But that doesn’t make it a joke. And if I made that statement — which I have plenty of times — and someone became offended, and I responded by saying, “Hey man, relax, it’s comedy,” that wouldn’t make me a comedian. It would make me a coward, too afraid to stand by my own beliefs.
Speaking of George Floyd, the other problem with this argument is that, when Chappelle had the opportunity to comment on Floyd’s overdose, he took a very different approach. Mocking George Floyd, of course, would’ve been “transgressive” and “brave,” especially for a guy like Chappelle. It’s one thing for a right-wing podcaster like myself to be harsh and blunt about George Floyd. If a guy like Chappelle had done that, it would have been truly courageous. But Chappelle chose, instead, to use Floyd’s overdose as an excuse to deliver a weepy, self-serious sermon. He did his best Amy Coney Barrett impersonation, and whined about how Floyd’s overdose death was supposedly a tragedy. Here are a few examples:
and:
Dave Chapelle is out there making “edgy” “jokes” about Charlie Kirk’s death but of course when George Floyd died of an overdose this unfunny gutless hack was practically in tears, calling it “tragic” and “a lot to unpack.” https://t.co/XlDez4PYQw
— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) November 8, 2026
That first clip is of a Dave Chappelle stand-up show. There are many factual inaccuracies, for one thing. He calls George Floyd a “kid.” Even though George Floyd was a 46-year-old criminal the size of a parade float. Also, Derek Chauvin did not have his knee on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes or whatever (which is why Floyd didn’t have any semblance of a neck injury). And Floyd repeatedly said “I can’t breathe” while he was in the squad car, and the police were trying to calm him down — long before they had to restrain him on the ground. He was panicking and desperate, perhaps because he sensed that he may have finally taken enough drugs to end his life. But Floyd was in that position because of his own choices. He was dying because of the multiple serious crimes he chose to commit on the day he died. He was a degenerate who died by his own actions.
Leaving that aside, though, that was also perhaps the least funny, most self-serious, most contrived and affected and tedious performance we’ve ever seen from a comedian. I don’t say this lightly, but Chappelle makes feminist comedians look hilarious by comparison.
I would rather attend a comedy festival with a lineup of Hannah Gadsby, Samantha Bee, and Wanda Sykes than sit and listen to any more of that. This is the guy who we’re supposed to believe is an edgy provocateur who just enjoys poking the bear. Hardly.
For Chappelle, Floyd’s death was an opportunity for a serious national conversation. He even unironically used the phrase “this is a lot to unpack,” which is a comedic crime that should get you arrested and deported, or at least heavily fined. Chappelle was reduced to blurting out clichés because Floyd’s overdose was a travesty of historic proportions. It reminded him of a massive earthquake. It certainly wasn’t a topic he’d ever joke about, under any circumstances. Saint Floyd cannot be criticized. So when people make this claim that Chappelle just “says things that are forbidden,” they’re lying to you. He absolutely has sacred cows he doesn’t want to touch. And a drug-addicted, career-criminal hobo is one of those sacred cows.
So what might explain why he’s so happy about Charlie Kirk’s death? Why does Chappelle feel comfortable standing in front of a crowd at Madison Square Garden and gloating about Kirk’s death, if he was so horrified by what happened to George Floyd? The answer is pretty obvious: Charlie Kirk was a white guy. And he challenged the false narratives about black victimhood, which Chappelle has relentlessly pushed in his stand-up routines for decades. Therefore, Chappelle is happy about the fact that Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered.
On X, I pointed out how grotesque this is and received a lot of replies like the following:
im sure you feel the same way about George Floyd jokes or Trayvon Martin jokes or the jokes about Melissa Hortman.
I’ve even seen a number of conservatives make a version of this argument. First of all, I’m honestly not aware of any jokes about “Melissa Hortman,” the Minnesota lawmaker who was shot at her home by a schizophrenic who was appointed by Tim Walz to serve on some state-level advisory board. Hortman was not shot because of her political views. She was shot by a lunatic who wrote a rambling manifesto about how he was going to “war” on behalf of the Democrat governor of the state. He also made numerous other false claims about his own biography, about getting elite military training and so on. This was not an instance of “MAGA violence” or “Left-wing violence.” And to my knowledge, no one was joking about it.
As for Trayvon Martin and George Floyd — yes, people were making very critical remarks about the deceased. Some people were even telling jokes, and rightfully so. And no, the situations are not remotely comparable. Unlike Charlie Kirk, neither Trayvon Martin nor George Floyd was murdered. And that’s a very big distinction. Trayvon Martin tried to beat a Hispanic guy’s head into the pavement before he was shot in self-defense. George Floyd, as we’ve discussed, was a career criminal who died doing what he loved — committing multiple felonies while overdosing and resisting arrest.
That’s not to say we should take some form of sociopathic glee in the fact that Trayvon Martin and George Floyd are dead. But we’re under no obligation to pretend that their deaths were a great tragedy of some kind. These thugs were a menace to everyone around them. Their communities, as a factual matter, are safer without them. They lived highly disordered, dysfunctional lives. They were criminals. The more the Left treated Floyd like a messiah, the more it made sense to joke about his alleged “legacy,” precisely because his legacy was actually a rap sheet that included things like home invasion and armed robbery.
Charlie Kirk, on the other hand, did not break any laws. He never forced himself into a woman’s house at gunpoint, as Floyd did. He didn’t commit any acts of violence against anyone — much less police officers. He never overdosed on fentanyl. No one would want to live anywhere near George Floyd or Trayvon Martin, but Charlie Kirk was a good man who respected everyone he interacted with, regardless of their politics.
In summary, not to belabor the point, George Floyd was a drug-addled, violent criminal hobo who died of a drug overdose and then was venerated as a literal saint, while leftists burned down entire city blocks in revenge.
Charlie Kirk was a political commentator who never committed any crimes and was gunned down on camera while speaking peacefully in front of an audience, and nobody responded by rioting or committing any acts of violence or reprisals anywhere at all. So, no, joking about George Floyd is not the same as joking about Charlie Kirk.
The two men, and the circumstances around their deaths, and the subsequent reactions, have no resemblance at all. There is no comparison except that they both died, and that’s it. Anyone trying to draw this moral equivalency is lying, stupid, or both. And any conservative claiming that we have to tolerate the Charlie jokes because we criticized George Floyd is a submissive, cucked shill and should be disregarded on this issue and every other, just to be totally clear.
If you’re going to mock Charlie Kirk, what exactly is the reason for it? What’s the “larger point” you’re getting at? On the one hand, you might say that the answer to that question seems pretty obvious. The “larger point” is simply that the Left wants to murder conservatives. I’m not going to spend too much time on this — I mainly want to discuss Chappelle today — but we’ll deviate momentarily, just to establish this basic point. There’s been plenty of evidence that the Left wants to kill us lately, particularly since the midterms. Here’s one recent example, from Jennifer Welch’s podcast:
Evil.
Jennifer Welch can’t control her laughter after reading a tweet that says, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” https://t.co/Co6riq0bla
— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) November 5, 2026
A lot has been said already about how these women are clearly sociopaths — aging, decrepit shrews who are channeling their self-hatred and loneliness into rambling, hateful political commentary. All of that is true. It’s also true Jennifer Welch looks like Willem Dafoe in drag, except worse, because you can find more plastic in her face than in a river in Indonesia. The other woman on the show looks like John Kerry in a blonde wig. Those are also facts. We’ve already been through them.
What’s notable is the end of this clip, where Willem and John claim that the alleged shooter — Tyler Robinson — came from a white MAGA family. This is a common tactic on the Left when it comes to talking about this assassination. On the one hand, they’ll celebrate it, as if they’re rooting for the assassin — which is exactly what they’re doing. But in the same breath, they’ll pretend that Tyler Robinson was actually a MAGA figure they have nothing to do with.
If you’re familiar with the book “Days of Rage” and Leftist terrorism in general, this will seem familiar. Leftists have learned to openly engage in violent revolutionary terrorism, while also denying that they’re doing it — even when their denials are clearly absurd, they still serve some purpose. Bill Ayers and the “Weather Underground,” for example, would pretend that they never engaged in deliberate acts of violence — they would claim that they only bombed empty buildings. That was a lie — a brazen one — but they stuck with it. And eventually, it became the dominant narrative about the “Weather Underground.”
The same thing is happening here. They know that Tyler Robinson had a trans furry boyfriend. They know he allegedly killed Charlie Kirk explicitly because, in his view, Kirk had “hateful” political views. They know Tyler Robinson allegedly wrote Antifa messages on the bullets he loaded into his rifle — including the words, “hey fascist, catch.” They know that the political views of Robinson’s parents are irrelevant. But they still want to suggest that, although it makes no sense, Charlie Kirk was killed by someone who was on his political side. They did the same thing with the Trump assassination attempt. This is the Bolshevik playbook. These are truly reprehensible, cowardly people.
Here’s more of the same, from Scott Galloway:

Yes, he claims he took a dump in his own vehicle before he sold it. And this defecation was apparently a way of “owning” Elon Musk, whom he wants the state to execute. This is a guy the Left considers an intellectual, by the way. This is one of their “sober thinkers.”
You have to wonder: What’s he going to do next, now that he’s soiled his own vehicle in a particularly bold act of protest? Is he going to buy 100 Tesla t-shirts, douse them in gasoline, and light them on fire inside his house? That would really show Elon Musk. Or, better yet, he could light one on fire while he’s still wearing it. Elon Musk would never recover from that. Of course, neither would Scott Galloway, but he doesn’t seem to mind a little self-sabotage in the name of defeating fascism.
I’ve heard the counterargument that, when it comes to Charlie Kirk, Leftists like this aren’t really mocking his murder. Instead, they’re supposedly mocking Turning Point USA, and the Right’s alleged glorification of Charlie Kirk after his death. I’m told Hasan Piker said this recently, although I didn’t watch his show, and can’t imagine why anyone would. I also saw a few people making this claim on X as well, in response to a post I made.
It’s not a very persuasive argument. Mainly because all of the gloating started within seconds of Charlie’s murder. It’s impossible to blame TPUSA for that. Long before Charlie’s funeral, leftists were celebrating his death. The idea that they’re not really mocking his murder simply does not wash. To be as fair as possible to these people — if they deserve it, which they don’t — we can acknowledge that TPUSA is still very much a political organization. They’re staying in the arena. Therefore, they should not be immune to criticism or mockery. I don’t think anyone at TPUSA would disagree with that. Everything is fair game for criticism — TPUSA’s podcast, their ground game, their organization. Nobody is suggesting otherwise. TPUSA certainly hasn’t suggested otherwise.
But there’s a vast difference between attacking or criticizing TPUSA, and going out of your way — in the most classless, obscene way imaginable — to mock Charlie Kirk’s murder. The people who are joking about digging up Charlie’s corpse, and then lying about the Antifa furry-chaser who allegedly shot him, are not mocking TPUSA as an organization. They’re not making some subtle jab at how Charlie’s legacy is supposedly being overhyped by the Right. They’re just mocking his death because they think political assassinations are good. And they want more of them. It’s not that complicated.
The “jokes” about Charlie Kirk are especially heinous for reasons that have nothing to do with the fact that I agree with his politics. There is something especially callous about gloating over a brutal, bloody murder we all saw with our own eyes. He was a young man and father of young children.
We saw him get shot in the neck. We saw the blood come gushing out. The natural human reaction when seeing something so violent, bloody, and shocking — no matter the identity of the victim — is to be moved and shaken by it. We are visual creatures. Images stick with us. They resonate. That’s natural. It’s human. The image of a man — any man — being shot in the neck and killed in front of a live audience is haunting and horrible. Your immediate instinct as a human being should be to feel horrified, repulsed, sad.
If, instead, you’re gloating about it, telling “jokes,” it shows that this human part of you is dead. You truly are a soulless goblin in a way that’s only vaguely distinguishable from the guy who actually committed the murder. That’s what makes your callousness so disturbing for those of us who still have souls. We’re human, and you no longer are, which makes you a monstrosity to us. We’re not “offended” so much as revolted by the sight of you. You’ve become the spiritual equivalent of a maggot-eaten corpse. You are a grotesquery, a morally disfigured beast.
In the case of Dave Chappelle, it’s particularly nauseating and pathetic. In 2022, Chappelle was attacked on stage in Hollywood — a guy tackled him, armed with a replica handgun that had a real knife blade inside. Here’s what it looked like:
Shame, shame, shame on Chappelle
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 8, 2026
Source: @elonmusk/X.com
After this attack, Charlie posted the following message on X. Instead of mocking Chappelle, he went after the prosecutor who refused to bring charges.
By refusing to charge the armed maniac who attacked Dave Chappelle on stage, George Gascon is sending a clear message that public acts of political violence are justifiable—and even encouraged—against anyone who dares speak out against The Regime. It’s Sinister & Un-American.
Four years later, Chappelle is giddy about Charlie’s assassination. He’s not weeping as he did after George Floyd’s overdose.
We shouldn’t be surprised by that because, again, he’s always been a bitter anti-white hack. His entire career, from its earliest days, has been built on his open disdain for white people. And self-loathing white liberals absolutely loved it. They couldn’t get enough. They feel like good people when they support a mainstream black comedian who mocks whites, just like they felt like good people when they spent $1,000 on Hamilton tickets so they could watch black rappers make a mockery of the white Founding Fathers.
If you’re a white liberal, a core part of your identity is recognizing your “privilege,” and being cucked by celebrities — preferably non-white celebrities — who hate you.
Here’s just one illustration of this phenomenon in action. Here is a 2004 NPR interview that Chappelle did with a white lady on NPR at the height of his fame. Listen to how enamored the white lady is when she asks about how Chappelle does his white person accent.
Unfortunately, his “white accent” doesn’t sound anything like an actual white person. But other than that, he nailed it. I mean, as a white guy who talks in monotone for a living, I can say with some authority that this isn’t what white people sound like. But the white NPR lady eats it up. Of course, if a white comedian had been talking to her and started talking in Ebonics — which is actually how a lot of black people talk — she would’ve had a very different reaction. But NPR has no problem with mocking white people, because for decades now, the entire Leftist agenda has been premised on humiliating, disenfranchising, and ultimately replacing white people. And now (particularly in states like Texas) they’re getting exactly what they’ve always wanted.
To the extent that Chappelle has done anything interesting or brave in his entire career, it was to mock transgenderism. The problem is, he took the safest “politically incorrect” route he could, by doing a few anti-trans jokes years after we’d already made it safe to go there (kind of like how he did a routine on Jussie Smollett years after the fact).
In the spirit of openness and honesty, I think we can now admit that we, as conservatives, gave Chappelle way too much credit for making a few trans jokes. I’m certainly guilty of that. In our defense, this was at a time when every major institution in the country had gone insane, and everyone was insisting that men in dresses were actually women, so we were desperate for anyone in mainstream culture to simply acknowledge the basic reality that was sitting in front of all of our faces. And then Chappelle came along with material like this:
I agree with the point, obviously. And the joke is fine. And we gave Chappelle a lot of credit for the joke at the time. It is at least a joke, sort of. So that’s an improvement for Chappelle. But it’s also a joke that, by the time Chappelle landed on it, had already been made by approximately every single conservative on social media a billion times.
That’s part of what made it seem notable at the time. He’s saying the thing that right-wingers have been saying. But that’s also what makes it, in retrospect, not very impressive. And hardly a comedic revelation. The more important point, though, is that ever since the backlash he received after his brief foray into slaughtering leftist sacred cows, he’s been trying to claw his way back into the good graces of the Left. That’s why he’s now going after Charlie Kirk.
If you ask Chappelle’s defenders, they’ll tell you that, actually, he’s a highly principled comedian who walked away from a $50 million payday, solely because he wasn’t comfortable with how some white people were laughing at his humor. As the story goes, he was uncomfortable when a white person on set appeared to be laughing at his black stereotypes, instead of laughing along with them. But the truth is that Chappelle was a deadbeat who walked off the job because he couldn’t hack it. Then he blamed his own laziness and incompetence on racist white guys.
According to TIME, Chappelle left the show because:
He was taping a sketch about magic pixies that embody stereotypes about the races. The black pixie—played by Chappelle—wears blackface and tries to convince blacks to act in stereotypical ways. Chappelle thought the sketch was funny, the kind of thing his friends would laugh at. But at the taping, one spectator, a white man, laughed particularly loud and long. His laughter struck Chappelle as wrong, and he wondered if the new season of his show had gone from sending up stereotypes to merely reinforcing them. “When he laughed, it made me uncomfortable,” says Chappelle. “As a matter of fact, that was the last thing I shot before I told myself I gotta take f______ time out after this. Because my head almost exploded.”
When you look back, it’s funny that Chappelle became, briefly, a hero to the Right. This is a guy who says he stopped doing his show because he doesn’t want white people laughing at his jokes. Imagine a white comedian complaining about black people laughing at his jokes, and then still having any kind of career after the fact. You can’t imagine that because it would never happen.
The point here isn’t that we should be offended by the fact that Chappelle is a bitter, anti-white hack. The point is just that he is a bitter anti-white hack and has been for decades — to an extent that a lot of people probably didn’t realize if they didn’t follow Chappelle’s career that closely or never read anything about why he stopped doing his show 20 years ago. I know I certainly never did, because really, who cares?
There’s no reason to care now, except as a way to put context on his Charlie Kirk comments, as the Left insists we do. Well, here’s the context: Chappelle has always hated white people. Charlie was white. He was successful. He was conservative. That’s why Chappelle was happy to watch a young man and father of young children get shot through the neck. There’s your context.
So, yes, contrary to what he told the white NPR lady, he is indeed malicious. He will celebrate your death, as he celebrates the murder of Charlie Kirk. But on the bright side, we can be sure of one thing, which is that — regardless of how ascendant the Left is right now — Dave Chappelle will not get the last laugh.
That’s because, if this footage from Madison Square Garden is any indication, at this stage of his career, he’s having a lot of trouble getting any laughs at all.
