Some ‘SNL’ Writers Reportedly Boycott Dave Chappelle’s Return as Host

With the doors of Studio 8H just a few days away from opening to a live audience once again, some staff writers on Saturday Night Live are reportedly protesting the decision to bring transphobic comedian Dave Chappelle back as host. A source close to the matter told Page Six on Wednesday that several writers are sitting out the episode, “but none of the actors are boycotting.” Meanwhile, a representative for Chappelle told the outlet there was “no evidence” of a boycott at a Tuesday writers’ meeting. “The room was full of writers,” the rep said. “They all pitched ideas and they seemed very excited about it…. Dave is looking to have some fun.” Chappelle is set to host the Nov. 12 episode of SNL in what will be his third outing as host of the long-running sketch show. After his return was announced, at least one SNL employee—writer Celeste Yim—reportedly made what seemed to be an indirect public statement on the choice. “I’m trans and non-binary,” Yim wrote in an Instagram Story caption. “I use they/them pronouns. Transphobia is murder and it should be condemned.”

I'd rather watch him do off the cuff standup for 90 minutes than whatever those writers come up with over the course of a week.


Reboot In Living Color

Boycott those hetero phobic men in dresses

 

[highvoltage247]

Maybe it will be funny this weekend without those writers... People will watch Dave, regardless of the writers...

 

[EPDC]

So Dave is a transphobic comedian now? FOH

 

[Leatherf7ce]

Dave said this ain't true. SNL does have a transformer asian in the writing room and it decided not to come to work this week....if that's a boycott of one person it's pathetic. It went on Twitter talking how they didn't agree and the alphabet mafia ran with the story but I believe Dave

 

[havelcok]

if i wer ehim, i would have brought my own writers in
make it sooo good
that the regular writers would be ashamed of the mess they have been serving up

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

fuck em

 

[ScorpDiesel]

Fuck those faggots.

 

[SWATLANTA]

It seems like half of the skits this year have had a pickle smuggling tone to them with that asian sissy featured. I hope that faction of writers are the ones who are standing down...

You noticed it too?.... they are promoting the crap outta him..... they pushed that lesbian Punky Brewster right to the side... it's like he's the head.... writer or something now

I suspected this story was exaggerated. So it's just one disgruntled transformer, repeating false talking points, that decided not to report to work in protest.

Ehh...so what?

Yep, and I have never found anything he has done to be funny smh....at this point, the only thing that I find amusing is weekend update

I don't know if the trans writer is ever in any SNL skits but I doubt he'd come up with better writing than an off-the-cuff Dave. If he gets blue-check trolled on twitter, ohhhh well.

 

[Hey Julian!]

Fake news. Ain’t none of them writers banned shit. Lorne Michaels wouldn’t have had him back again if it was that serious. I’m pretty him and Neal Brennan are in the writer’s room putting shit together for it anyway. You’d be an idiot as a writer if the only time people seriously tune in to your show, you’re boycotting or not trying to write a skit for a legend.

 

[Flawless]

so they mean one or two writers?

This season has been pretty bad and the Asian guy plays the same exact gayasian in every skit

True !! Beck Bennett was also flaming but he actually had funny characters, not just gay caricatures....that asian dude is probably my least favorite cast member of the last 20 years

Depending on who's hosting, I generrally fast forward the Tivo right to Weekend Update...... and smh when they put his gay ass in that too...

[knightmelodic]

Yeah, I don't get how he is now a "transphobic comedian." I have never heard him degrade, condemn, or disparage LGBTQ. He spoke on shit I for one was wondering about: like how the fuck do we keep up with all these acronyms? How do you know if you're insulting someone when they change every hour?


You've got to wonder how this narrative helps that community because you know Dave can go off on a motherfucker smooth as owl shit.
