CHAPPELLE: The rule is, that no matter what you do in your artistic expression, you are never, ever allowed to upset the alphabet people. You know who I mean. I would say the letters, but I don’t want to conjure their anger. It’s too late now. I’m talking about them L’s and them B’s and them G’s and the T’s. You would be surprised. I have friends. All kinds of letters. Everybody loves me. And I love everybody. I have friends who are L’s. I got friends who are B’s. And I got friends who are G’s. But the T’s hate my (bleep) guts.
CLAY: That was Dave Chappelle, who is among the most successful and famous comedians of his generation. And despite all of that, he is still getting the cancellation treatment sometimes.
Up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dave Chappelle just had a standup show canceled at a place called First Avenue, which is a venue. And it was the setting for Prince’s Purple Rain, apparently, I’m seeing here, that video. Because people complained on Twitter, Clay, that Dave Chappelle had made transphobic jokes. And, of course, they always add to this, at this particular time, it’s a question of violence against trans people. And so it’s not just we are hypersensitive crybabies. It’s, if you make jokes, this is literal violence against the trans community.
Clay, I still like jokes. We stand with jokes on this show.
CLAY: We’re pro-joke.
BUCK: That’s right.
CLAY: Yes.
