Dave Chappelle Backlash Over Charlie Kirk Jokes

Dave Chappelle is facing backlash after clips surfaced that appear to show him joking about Charlie Kirk’s death at Madison Square Garden. On Daily Comedy News, Johnny Mac breaks down what’s heard in the clips, why one line may be a callback to Tony Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd joke at The Roast of Kevin Hart, and how Rob Schneider and Elon Musk reacted. He also covers Erika Kirk’s broader response to jokes about political assassination. Johnny Mac reviews Druski’s Saturday Night Live episode, looks at the star-studded goodnights featuring Chris Rock, Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler, and asks whether John Mulaney can get SNL Season 52 back on track. Also in this episode, Donna Motsinger asks a judge to hold Bill Cosby in contempt over a $59.25 million civil judgment she says remains unpaid. Russell Brand is sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being convicted of rape and sexual assault, and Daniel Sloss explains how speaking out about Brand helped inspire the title of his Bitter tour. Plus, Wednesday picks from the New York Comedy Festival, including Josh Gondelman and Eddie Pepitone, and the Toronto comedy duo Creepy Boys’ unusual explanation for an air-quality dispute behind their eviction case.   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support. 🎄 DCN every day, no ads, for the whole family: Caloroga+ on Apple Podcasts is $49.99 a year and shares with up to 6 people.
