Ladies and gentlemen, Dave Chappelle.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you very. - Much.
Turn this up, I can't hear. Thank you guys.
Boy, I gotta tell you guys something.
I'm being very honest.
I am in quite the pickle tonight.
And it started. It started in October.
Lorne Michaels called me and he asked me to do
a Saturday Night Live, the first episode after the election.
And I was like, nah, man, I'm cool.
And he's like, why not?
And I was like, man, things are going good.
I finished my Netflix deal.
I got all this money and stuff and he's like,
oh man, no, come on please.
And I said, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you just
to get off the phone.
I go, you know what I'll do?
I said, just save the date closest to January 6th.
And then the date started rolling around.
And in December he started calling me again and again.
I was like, nah, man, I don't want to do it.
And this goes on for like weeks and weeks.
And then finally, you know, and I go, you know what?
I could just get rid of all these old Trump jokes
and start fresh.
I said, you know what? I'll do it.
Oh thank you. Here we are.
The moment I said yes.
L.A. Burst into flames.
And it's a.
Tough one, you know what I mean?
Because I'm tired of being controversial.
I'm trying to turn over a new leaf.
And it is way too soon to do jokes about
a catastrophe like that.
It is.
You know, what's crazy about it is this one hits close to home.
Now, I don't live in LA, and I've never been like a big
fan of LA, but I've built many, many memories there, and I have
great friends there and a lot of them lost their homes.
Carey Oates, who I starred in Robin Hood Men in Tights with
his house burned to the ground.
Madlib, who was on Saturday Night Live with me.
Last time I was here, his house burned to the ground.
So many people I could go on and on.
My first movie I did with Dennis Quaid, I saw him evacuate
in his house on the news with tears in his eyes.
And it broke my heart.
And then I go on the internet and I watch these fire videos,
and I read the comment sections and everyone was like, yeah, it
serves these celebrities right.
I hope the houses burn Burned down.
You see that? That right there.
