Fu*k that guy said Dave Chappelle about Bill Maher in his Netflix special
Published by RawNews1st
“You know, and Bill Maher, the famous comedian,” Chappelle said, “I’ve known Bill since I was like 18, 19 years old, and I’ve never said this publicly, but f— that guy.”
Chappelle continued, “I’m so f—ing tired of his little smug cracker-a– commentary.”
Chappelle was responding to Maher saying during an October Real Time episode, “Dave Chappelle… was in the press today saying that you can speak more freely over here than in America… It is not true.”
Maher dismissively told Chappelle to do some jokes about the Prophet Muhammad in Riyadh and see how that went for him.
Dave Chappelle delivered an early Christmas gift to fans on Friday night. The Emmy-winning comedian surprise released a new Netflix special, titled The Unstoppable, shortly after the boxing match between Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua ended in a victory for Joshua.
“I wanted to shout out my hometown, Washington, D.C., and thank everybody that came out in October to support me at that show,” Chappelle said in an Instagram video posted to the Netflix is a Joke account. “I just want you to know that show will be streaming on Netflix tonight after the fight. My new special drops, and I hope you love it. Thank you very much.” He signed off, “Chicka, Chicka!”
During his set at the festival, Chappelle used his performance to comment on free speech in the United States. “Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” the comedian told the audience, according to The New York Times. He later added, “It’s easier to talk here than it is in America.”
The standup special is Chappelle’s eighth with the streaming service, following The Age of Spin, Deep in the Heart of Texas, Equanimity, The Bird Revelation, Sticks & Stones, The Closer, and The Dreamer.
Netflix also quietly released What’s in a Name? in 2022, a 40-minute video of Chappelle speaking at his alma mater, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, during which he addressed the criticism he’s faced for his jokes about transgender people.
In September, Chappelle was among the comics that performed at Riyadh Comedy Festival. Chappelle and many other comedians were criticized for participating in the event that Human Rights Watch said was being used to deflect attention from the country’s “brutal repression of free speech.”
