Some of the writers behind NBC�s long-running sketch comedy show
�Saturday Night Live� may be planning to boycott the next show because
comedian Dave Chappelle has been tapped to host.

According to a report from Page Six, some of the writers were angry
that producers had asked Chappelle � who has been accused of telling
�transphobic� and �homophobic� jokes in a number of his stand-up comedy
specials � to host the November 12th broadcast, and they opted to bow
out.

�They�re not going to do the show,� an insider reportedly informed Page
Six of the writers. �But none of the actors are boycotting.�

�SNL� prompted some backlash on Twitter when Chappelle�s appearance was
first announced last week.

One critic pointed out the fact that people were so incensed by
Chappelle�s appearance that no one was reacting to the fact that hip-
hop group Black Star was going to perform for the first time in more
than a decade.

�chappelle reputation is so godawful that nobody even CARES that Black
Star is reuniting lmfao one of the most beloved supergroups in hip hop
performing after an 11 yr long hiatus & ppl not even noticing cuz the
other guy on stage just been talking so much shit abt trans ppl LOL,�
one Twitter user said.

�SNL�s latest putrid attempt to pander to edgelords amidst flailing
ratings and a beyond vile reputation. can�t keep your cast members or
write a single funny punchline so you resort to platforming stale
transphobes. the rot run deep. what a bunch of losers,� complained The
Daily Beast film critic Coleman Spilde.

Once news broke that some of the writers might boycott the show,
however, The Hill�s media and politics columnist � and Fox News
contributor � Joe Concha argued that their loss could potentially be
the audience�s gain.

�If the great Dave Chappelle is hosting, methinks any assistance from
some of the worst writers in comedy won�t be needed. Just hand the keys
to Dave and get out of the way,� he said.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton appeared to agree with Concha,
saying, �SNL more likely to be funny as SNL staff writers stage boycott
over appearance of black comedian.�

[ Two things:
1) None of the people protesting have obviously ever watched
Chappelle's concert
2) This is an opportunity to get competent replacement writers

That's fine. Dave could write the material himself. He's an order of
magnitude funnier than they are anyway.

To be fair, I didn't care even before any of this.

He's also reporting that he's seen no sign of an internal boycott of
the show even though he's been in the writing room with the staff. So
it's either a made up controversy (perhaps to gin up interest in the
show) or it's some people who are griping but not acting or are so far
down the totem pole that no one notices when they are gone.

TBH, I have no idea who Black Star is, nor do I care.

Humor is subjective, but you're too fucking stupid to know this. Also,
I recall Chappelle having a show that was funny last century.
