Dave Chappelle reveals that the two topics ‘Snl’ forbade him to mention in the viral opening monologue

Dave Chappelle entered the stage for a stand-up show in San Francisco this week.

During his performance, the controversial comedian (51) revealed the best topics “Saturday Night Live”, which during his opening monologue looked at the host of the show last month that he should avoid it.

“SNL producers told him that he could not talk about two topics: Transgender -People and Gaza,” said Dan Gentile, editor of Sfgate.

However, Chappelle still slipped in a reference to Palestine during his monologue, which was recorded on January 18.

“Don’t forget your humanity and please empathize for displaced persons whether you are in the palestine or in Palestine,” he said.

This week, Chapelle accommodated the performance with a sharp, provocative remark on Gaza during his set in San Francisco.

“Give the Jews a break, free Palestine,” he said according to Sfgate.
