Dave Chappelle’s Saturday Night Live Monologue

Chappelle played it dangerous on Saturday night and we need a lot more than that. I especially liked his very revealing line "I can't even tell something true unless it has a punchline behind it" and don't even get me started on the lessons for white folk he proposed.

Missed the edit window. I meant to say " we need a lot more like that".

That was good.   One of the most edgy monologues on SNL in a long time but funny too.   Glad they gave him extended time and didn't try to bleep any of it out.

my white friend said it was racist against white people...

Absolutely fantastic. The whole show was good.

I don't think it was dangerous at all.   Poignant and well crafted.   He balanced the line between a raw comedian and a leader showing us a better way to live.   

Was it racist?   Or was it factual?  

He told the truth. Pretty bluntly.

I admire his honesty.

> I don't think it was dangerous at all.

By dangerous, I meant he didn't play it safe, Zang, and I admire that greatly. And I didn't think it was racist at all; I found it refreshingly honest.

Chappelle for me is like opera. I am intrigued by every ones passion for him but he just never does it for me. I thought his SNL monologue was pretty flat. 

I liked the entire broadcast, especially the first Foo Fighters song "Shame," which I thought played well w/ all the other content.

Thanks for sharing ...

He really nailed it.  Pointed, funny and compassionate. 

As far as comparing him to opera, I imagine the same has been said about the Grateful Dead.  Guess it’s a matter of preference.
