The controversial comedian spoke for 15 minutes at the top of the show.
Comedian Dave Chappelle was the host of last night's Saturday Night Live, making his third appearance on the landmark series and the first time doing so since his controversy in 2021 Netflix stand-up The Closer surrounding the transgender community.
The 15-minute stand-up opened with a "prepared statement" where Chappelle voiced his support for the Jewish community and denounced antisemitism, telling Kanye, who is still under fire for his recent antisemitic comments, that is how you "buy yourself some time."

That is not true — if they had invited me I would have accepted it, although I am confused about what we would be speaking about. I said what I said, and boy, I heard what you said. My God, how could I not? You said you want a safe working environment at Netflix. It seems like I’m the only one that can’t go to the office anymore.
