Bowen Yang Distances Himself From Dave Chappelle During ‘SNL’ Good Night Segment

[quote] Deadline has reached out to Yang and SNL for comment.

I'm on pins and needles, eagerly awaiting comment. This is such a dire moment for history.

Who could give a fuck about Bowen Yang?

Bowen Yang is such a petty little bitch.

He really needs to get over Dave Chappelle.

That was YEARS ago.

Yawn.

Bowen Yang is lucky he even has a career. He's unbelievably untalented and hideous to look at.

R3, fuck Dave Chappelle. He's a piece of shit.

And worse. For a comedian, he's not funny!

[quote] fuck Dave Chappelle. He's a piece of shit.

Dilate more.

I’m more offended Chapelle didn’t jump on stage sooner and host. I think he’s hilarious and an equal opportunity offender. People need to lighten up.

Saturday’s show was probably the worst SNL I’ve ever seen, and I’m usually an SNL apologist.

Can’t wait for Tina and/or Seth to clean house in ‘25.

How's Dave and his Muslim faith? Is he leading Allah's holy lifestyle or what?

Remember. Yang ONLY has a job there because the guy they initially hired had made some off color Black people joke. So Lorne Michaels backed out on that guy and made Yang a diversity higher. Thankfully, he won’t be there much longer with any amount of luck.

How is this show still on the air!

That's not true, R11. SNL's casting of Shane Gillis and Bowen Yang were announced at the exact same time. Questionable content from Gillis' podcast quickly surfaced and he was let go, but Yang was already in the cast.

[quote]a diversity higher

oh, dear.

Fuck Bowen Yang. The trannies wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

Chappelle is a fucking asshole who is about as funny as a fart in an elevator. Can't stand nasty pieces of shit like him.

OP - I’ve distanced myself from SNL since all of the original cast left in 1980.

Bowen also distended himself

They are both overrated comedians. How about that? Heidi Gardner is funnier than both of them combined.

Bowen Yang likes getting fisted.

Finally, some gossip at R20. What do you know?

Leave it to DL to drag the gay guy.

Making faces and talking fast is what constitutes comedy for Bowen Yang.

The guy understands nothing, but absolutely nothing, about timing or how to deliver a punch line.

No matter what you think of Dave Chappelle's stance on certain issues, he knows how to tell a story. He's a pro. Yang is an amateur.

r22 it's not that he's gay it's that he's talentless and annoying.

Bowen Yang is one of the funniest, current cast members. That may not mean much, considering the show hasn’t been funny for years. I am also someone who is looking forward to Lorne Michaels’ departure. Ideally, the show will become funny once more!

Remember when he and Dan Levy hooked up and caused drama when Levy hosted?

Yang seems like a stunted and dramatic drama queen.

That being said, he’s as funny as the rest of the current cast….

Yes, Yang can be funny, but always, always safe. I doubt he'd ever do anything that wasn't fully approved by the Committee for LGBTQ+ Humor and Goodthink. Safety first.

Unlike Chappelle.

Oh, look, no comments from the peanut gallery about Chapelle being Muslim.

What a terrible quandary it must be for them -- having to choose between Muslim vs. Gays. It's like their worst predicament ever!

R11, Bowen Yang is the ONLY actor in the history of SNL to be nominated for an Emmy as a featured player.

He is there because he’s talented and you can bitch and moan about it all you want but that’s a fact.

Hi Bowen!

No shit, R22.

Emmys don't mean anything. He was nominated because he's gay.

For Emmy noms or wins to matter you're going to have to prove that every cast member who's ever been on SNL submitted an episode for consideration every year they were on the show.

[quote] Bowen Yang is the ONLY actor in the history of SNL to be nominated for an Emmy as a featured player. He is there because he’s talented and you can bitch and moan about it all you want but that’s a fact.

Are you retarded? Cast members have been nominated for (and won) Emmys going all the way back to 1978, when Gilda Radner won for featured actress.

Preach, r33!

Backlash from the TQ+ community you mean, OP. Many in the LGB community agree with him.

More Trumptards. Oh joy. Classic BPD splitting.

When you have no other argument, yell "Trump!"

Criticizing Bowan Yang's lack of comedic talent means you're a MAGAt!

R33, I said ACTOR not actress. Regardless, I said “featured player” which is NOT a cast member like Radner was when she won.

All of the Emmy nominations and wins for SNL have been cast members, not “featured players” which don’t have a contract yet.

Here’s hoping Muriel shows these Trumptard interlopers the door ASAP.

Racism is always their tell.

Bowen is easily the biggest star on SNL right now, so Lorne is not smart to alienate him and other cast members by inviting Dave onstage with giving them a head ups first.

Apart from everything else, Chappelle is no longer funny... hasn't been in several years. He's actually pretty tedious: huge smothering self-regard.

I came in quite late to the show and stayed through the credits.

I was wondering why Dakota hadn't "thanked" Chappelle (I assumed he was in a sketch as a guest -- why else come on stage?)

[quote] Bowen Yang is the ONLY actor in the history of SNL to be nominated for an Emmy as a featured player.

[quote] Bowen is easily the biggest star on SNL right now

DEI.

[quote]DEI

Sign that someone has lost their critical thinking skills and is repeated righwing talking points learned in the MAGA/Q echo chamber.

Chappelle is a homophobe who uses the "I'm a comedian" excuse after his homophobic rants.

A true piece of shit.

I avoided the show because JT was the featured performer. Add another dipshit to the mix….

Dakota was awesome in Suspiria, but I don’t think I’ll follow anymore MCU movies.

And Gilda was presented her Emmy by none other than Lynda Carter.

[quote]Here’s hoping Muriel shows these Trumptard interlopers the door ASAP.

FUCK YOU CUNT. Just because a performer is gay doesn't mean we can't think he's a talentless shit. Idiots like you who shout "Trump!" "MAGA!" at everyone who isn't lock step with your opinions are so tiresome and intellectually lazy.

A sensitive gay.

R39, an actress is an actor...this isn't 1945. It's a better look to admit when you're wrong, instead of doubling down.

Is R39 Bowen Yang? Who on earth knows all of this trivia about featured players vs. cast and when he won an Emmy?

The only other comic I heard brave enough to criticize Caitlyn Jenner was Ludicris on The View. He said Laverne Cox looked like she’d had top-of-the-line work done and Caitlyn looked like she’d gone to Earl Schieb.

This just makes me realize what an angry, dreary, and dreadful shitshow this program has become. It’s just imploding, especially since Lorne’s “Disney-fication” of it over the last several years.

R53, we have folks that can identify performer, scene, and movie title based on one hairy mole on his balls.

We have people who can name the entire crew that worked a failed B movie from the early 60s.

They choose goodness over violence and you are blessed. Fucko

[quote]an actress is an actor...this isn't 1945.

I've never understood why the lovely word "actress" had to be replaced with the word "actor".

I have nothing against Bowen Yang, but he's an idiot. You burn no bridges in entertainment. Someone up thread called him SNL's biggest star, please. Give me a break.

Dave Chappelle is not homophobic, period.

" Yang, Sherman and non-binary Molly Kearney were not involved in the 2022 taping when Chappelle hosted."

God, the only reason Molly is even on SNL is the bullshit non binary label.

What an utterly non story.

Bowen Yang is lightyears ahead of so many of the painfully unfunny castmembers.

Punkie Johnson? Stinks up every scene - does NOT belong there. Molly Kearny? I guess they think they have to have a fat woman on there. Also unmemorable. Andrew Dismukes? I couldn't pick him out of a crowd.

Bowen is one of the best members of the current cast. It's always perplexing to me that after close to 50 years they can't seem to get a fully talented cast. It's baffling.

Uh Molly is not a woman R62. They is non binary and that's why they were hired.

[quote]Bowen is one of the best members of the current cast.

Scrunching up your face and barreling through your lines is not comedy.

[quote]Molly Kearny? I guess they think they have to have a fat woman on there.

Bowen Yang? I guess they think they have to have an Asian on there.

[quote] They is non binary and that's why they were hired.

There are so many things wrong with this sentence, I don't even know where to begin.

Can you believe Phil Hartman was once on this show?

[quote] I said ACTOR not actress. Regardless, I said “featured player” which is NOT a cast member like Radner was when she won.

Asshole, you got owned. Your pitiful excuse to try and wriggle out of it doesn't hold water.

Can you believe Jane Curtin was once on this show?

R68, does every one of your posts disagreeing with another involve calling somebody a name?

It’s kind of Elon-esque. It’s mot provocative. It doesn’t work for me.

[R68], does every one of your posts disagreeing with another involve calling somebody a name? It’s kind of Elon-esque. It’s mot provocative. It doesn’t work for me.

And I don't give a fuck.

R71, the stakes are not that high., buddy. Relax; this should be fun.

Somebody who is not me needs to give you hugs .

[quote] the stakes are not that high., buddy. Relax; this should be fun. Somebody who is not me needs to give you hugs .

Nah. I just don't like you.

Chappelle is—at worst—one of the ten best stand-up comedians of all time. Bowen Yang, like the rest of the current SNL cast, is limited, a one-trick pony, and not funny. He’s not one of the 100 funniest cast members/featured players in SNL history. Performatively “distancing himself” will be his future in showbiz.

No matter what you think about Bowen Yang, he’s not obligated to kiss Chappelle’s ass on the SNL stage.

Going on the record to say I love Bowen and some of you need a good, hard fuck.

[quote]Leave it to DL to drag the gay guy.

It wouldn't be Datalounge otherwise.

This four minutes is funnier than anything Chappelle has done in his entire career.

Also want to add that Bowen's Fire Island movie wasn't high cinema, but it was really cute and worked better than most crap gay movies.

Bowen is hilarious and talented. Dave is a hasbeen who has now done three entirely unfunny “comedy” specials in a row whining about hating gay and trans people, a subject he is completely obsessed with to the exclusion of everything else. A waste of space who was not invited to be on the stage but jumped up there because he’s an attention whore. All Bowen did was avoid him which he has every right to do. Team Bowen. I hope he doesn’t comment on it though, bc all it will do is give Dave something else to whine about for 90 minutes solid on Netflix for the right-wing boomer bros who still give a shit that he exists. He’s the comedy equivalent of Kanye. Flushed all his talent years ago and now all he can make money off of is his performative outrage. Tedious.

[quote] Bowen is hilarious and talented. Dave is a hasbeen who has now done three entirely unfunny “comedy” specials in a row

Why don't you look and see how much Chapelle made for those specials and then come back here and call him a has-been? Just because you have shitty taste and think Bowen Yang is funny doesn't make your statement fact. The fact is, Chapelle is more successful than Bowen Yang could ever even dream about being.

If you think the iceberg sketch was funny, then you've pretty much told us how bad your taste is.

Or that taste has moved on from you.

Bowen is fat and tiresome.

R9 is a self-loathing moron that is everything that is wrong with this world. WTF. Have you no sense of taste or decency?

R74, no, Chappelle WAS good. He's SHIT now. He's adopted "punching down". He's literally no better than a Trumpster at this point. Stop making excuses for him. Stop papering over his PRESENT just because he was a genius in a long-ago past.

[quote] no, Chappelle WAS good. He's SHIT now. He's adopted "punching down". He's literally no better than a Trumpster at this point. Stop making excuses for him. Stop papering over his PRESENT just because he was a genius in a long-ago past.

Do shut up. You're making an ass of yourself.

No, R87, I'm not the one making an ass of myself. That'd be you, and him. How pathetic was it to jump up on stage like that, as if he belonged there, or deserved to be there, when he had NOTHING to do with the show?

Maybe you like comedians that punch down, but the rest of us recognize that kind of bullying bullshit for what it is.

He's a comedian and he can say whatever the fuck he wants. But we have a right to snub the POS.

If some of you weak ass faggots don't know why we have every reason to reject this homophobic cunt, here you go:

[quote]“We Blacks,” he says, “we look at the gay community and we go … ‘Look how well that movement is going. Look how well you are doing. And we’ve been trapped in this predicament for hundreds of years. How … are you making that kind of progress?’ I can’t help but feel like if slaves had baby oil and booty shorts, we might have been free a hundred years sooner.”

So we're supposed to pay for his slave reparations and he can't even acknowledge that we've been under the jackboot for two thousand years?

Chappelle has exposed himself as an ignorant bigot, and some of you assholes are defending him, even though he wouldn't even waste his spit on you if you were on fire.

[quote] Maybe you like comedians that punch down, but the rest of us recognize that kind of bullying bullshit for what it is.

CAW! CAW! THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

[quote] Chappelle has exposed himself as an ignorant bigot, and some of you assholes are defending him, even though he wouldn't even waste his spit on you if you were on fire.

Yeah, but most of us wouldn't waste our spit on you if you were on fire.

Chappelle's a tired, overrated cunt, but MARY!

[quote]Chappelle WAS good. He's SHIT now.

Agreed.

R89 is actually outraged over that quote from Chappelle? Oh c'mon. Most of us are sophisticated enough to have a laugh at ourselves.

r95 I'm not giddy. I can actually enjoy his routine. But sorry, this guy is a straight up homophobe. Have some political consciousness. I'm Team Yang. You think if some gay comic got up and trashed black people there wouldn't be outrage? I ain't in the back of nobody's bus, baby.

[quote] I ain't in the back of nobody's bus, baby.

We wish you'd get off the bus.

There's no we, there's just you.

Lol at some of these self-hating queens who think they speak for all of us.

I see two of you continuously caw cawing. I'd wait to plant your flag of victory, hon.

Take your ad hominems somewhere else, brat.

Team Bowen Yang. Though I like Chappelle. But what was he doing on the stage. Sometimes the public can like two celebrities even if those two celebs aren't great fans of each other.

Chappelle has said terrible things about Asian men too, so I’m sure Yang was pissed off about that as well. These were not just stand up jokes, mind you, but LECTURES during his act. For instance, his defense of uber-homophobe Manny Pacquiao:

“These men have been fuckin’ emasculated. And then suddenly a boxer rises from amongst them and reinstates their manhood with his motherfuckin’ fists. This is not the guy who you’re supposed to ask what he thinks about homosexuals. He’s not your champ.”

^^ In other words, Dave has said that Asian men, unlike Black men, have been emasculated by white colonialism, but Manny is an outlier. Dave’s made a lot of jokes about Asians being girly boys. Not that Yang is doing anything to refute that stereotype.

Seriously surprised at the self-loathing, tasteless, crass idiots here trying to defend Chappelle's behavior and comments. WTF is wrong with you people? Chappelle is clearly in the wrong, has clearly lost his mojo, and is trying to substitute bigoted slander and toxic masculinity to make up for his lack of any new and decent comedy.

He's become a pathetic incel-like tool.

Molly Kearney is a diversity hire just like Melissa Villasenor was. They made a big deal about them being the first non-binary member or Latina … and they did absolute shit with them.

They end up relegated to playing a co-worker in endless skits or a dinner guest and that’s it. Villasenor was a gifted mimic but they barely let her show it. I have no idea what Kearney’s talent is as they don’t seem to be very funny.

[quote]Seriously surprised at the self-loathing, tasteless, crass idiots here trying to defend Chappelle's behavior and comments.

You know a person lacks thinking skills when they resort to calling you "self loathing".

Chapelle is one of the better comedians working today.

For his take-down of Jussie Smolette alone...this is hilarious:

[quote]He's become a pathetic incel-like tool

He took a drastic turn for the worse when he started hanging out with the Rogan and Musk crew. That’s when he bulked up and started drinking heavily. That was also the point when he turned from being a brilliant comedian into a mean bully and a lecturing scold. Not to defend his behavior, but I think Rogan got him hooked on steroids, T supplements, and god knows what else, sending Dave into relapse. The nastiness was always simmering under his surface, but his drinking and drugging and strip-clubbing sent it into the stratosphere.

Boing Chang sucks.

Hopefully after SNL, he'll never be heard from again.

Loser.

Your erudition and elegance, R109, astounds.

The people who are carping about Chapelle "going after the trannys" likely get their information from Twitter and never actually saw or heard the routine. But then, if you don't bow down to a tranny and tell it it's correct about everything, you're committing literal murder.

[quote] They is non binary and that's why they were hired.

Oh, dear. It's "they was hired".

R63 is Viola Davis

[quote]The nastiness was always simmering under his surface, but his drinking and drugging and strip-clubbing sent it into the stratosphere.

Good.

A nasty offensive comedian is a refreshing thing right now.

I didn’t realize Chappelle just hopped onstage for no reason. That is pretty obnoxious.

[quote] I didn’t realize Chappelle just hopped onstage for no reason. That is pretty obnoxious.

Did he do it during a skit? During the opening monologue?

[quote]The people who are carping about Chapelle "going after the trannys" likely get their information from Twitter and never actually saw or heard the routine.

This was true initially, although he doubled down on them after the backlash. For instance, he recently described them as being akin to method actors who’ve lost themselves in their roles, which is much less charitable than his previous takes on them. Still, he’s been softer on them than other categories like women (especially lesbians), gay men, Asians, Jews, and ghetto Blacks, but none of these groups raised a fuss compared to the trans activists.

As a matter of fact, he had an unlikely friendship with a white trans woman, a mediocre comic whom he supposedly “mentored” out if the goodness of his heart, but I think there was some down low stuff going on, and like Eddie Murphy, he makes homophobic jokes to distance himself from his shady and questionable past “friendships.”

[quote] Remember when he and Dan Levy hooked up and caused drama when Levy hosted?

I didn’t know they hooked up but I still remember the cringe of Levy’s good nights when seemingly no one wanted to hug him or be around him. He finally had to hug his dad who had made a special appearance when no one else approached.

I wonder what went down between Levy and the cast?

I like her take lol

R120 Angry trick? Maybe. For a straight guy, Dave does seem weirdly interested in LGBTQ. If, say, he once surreptitiously cruised the streets looking for trans sex workers who “needed a ride home,” I doubt any would come forward, lest they end up like Eddie Murphy’s acquaintance, who died mysteriously in a freak accident after going public in People magazine.

R117 Everyone hates trannys. they are tiresome wrecks.

The whole credits segment is so awkward. This is Levy’s below.

Thanks, r123. I thought maybe it wouldn't be as bad as I remembered but I think it was even worse

It doesn’t look that bad at all. What are you all seeing?

(just rolling eyes at R107)

How much is Chappelle paying you to lick his ass like this? My god man, show some self-respect. Gargling his balls like that in public is ... well, It's unseemly.

Well, they’re all wearing COVID masks, R123, so of course it’s awkward. Did you expect more hugs and kisses with a highly contagious and deadly virus going around?

R116 hasn't been paying attention, I mean, your question is answered IN THE FUCKING OP.

R108 nails it.

[quote] (just rolling eyes at [R107]) How much is Chappelle paying you to lick his ass like this? My god man, show some self-respect. Gargling his balls like that in public is ... well, It's unseemly.

Maybe Dave’s beard is taking a break from her kitchen duties to defend her bank account. I mean — husband!

[quote] [R116] hasn't been paying attention, I mean, your question is answered IN THE FUCKING OP.

My answer was sarcastic. Who gives a fuck if he jumped up on stage during the closing credits? It's not like he interrupted the show.

Asshole.

His Jussie Smollett routine was wonderful.

Jumping onstage during the credits is fucked up. It’s not the end of the world and ultimately who cares about any of this, but it is arrogant and weird behavior.

No, you just want to make it into something it's not to bolster your weak argument.

Regardless of whether Dave should have been up there or not, Bowen shouldn’t have played into that dick move by acting like Dave’s stereotype of Asian and gay men, because that’s exactly what Dave wants. Instead, he should have strutted over and stood right next to Dave. That would have been a brave move, but Bowen doesn’t have the balls.

[quote] Idiots like you who shout "Trump!" "MAGA!" at everyone who isn't lock step with your opinions are so tiresome and intellectually lazy.

And they've dominated the board for eight years

The Reddit thread on this has 2000 replies.

I hadn't actually seen the clear view shown on that Reddit thread. He's pouting like a third grader who just learned he wasn't invited along with the popular kids to a good birthday party.

Reddit is tearing Bowen a third input. I love it.

Why do you love it, R139? Why does that make you feel good? How does this benefit you or anyone?

[quote] Reddit is tearing Bowen a third input. I love it.

r139 No they're not. You're seeing what you wanna see.

Chappelle's the kind of guy who helps white asshole dudes become better assholes.

Usually, I side against Chappelle because he’s a chauvinist bigot, but unfortunately Yang has mocked gay men more on a single episode of SNL than Dave has in his entire career, so he can go cry in his pillow for all I care.

I've never once seen Yang perform so I have no opinion of him as an entertainer but the picture of him sulking alone in the corner says much about him as a man. None of it good.

He's too damn old to be pouting like that.

That's a lot of analysis for very little input, r144. In other words, it's banal prejudice.

R1444's posting history checks out, too. What an asshole.

Perhaps body odor offends Bowen OP

The Reddit thread has some people who have met Yang and said he’s quite snotty and unfriendly in person, including a frau who grew up with him and said he was bitchy and offensive growing up, so seeing his self-righteous attitude now is interesting.

I didn’t get through the 2100 replies though.

r143 There's a huge difference between Yang's or any comedians "gay" jokes and what that clown Chappelle does. Who cares if he mocks gay men? We're not above critique. And we can laugh at ourselves.

But Chappelle does something very different. His attack is political and regressive. He seeks to put us back in the dark ages of sodomy laws.

I posted an excerpt above. He compares gay rights to the rights of blacks and slavery and claims we have no reason to fight for anything. He denies centuries of our oppression. Yes, he's a right wing regressive POS.

You don't have to like or appreciate or defend Bowen Yang to point out and recognize that Dave Chappelle is has-been trash who is following Joe Rogan down the toxic masculinity path of willfully ignorant bigotry and punching-down.

This isn't a zero sum game here.

They can both be awful people.

Can't we just deport Bowen back to japan?

R149 Point taken, but I never considered Dave “right wing,” mainly because he’s both black and Muslim, people that the Republicans demonize on a regular basis. That said, I think his negative views on homosexuality and non-traditional gender roles do come from his background in Islam. He even hobnobbed with Farrakhan for a while, and the Nation of Islam is notoriously homophobic and antisemitic. Dave’s grievances are steeped in that stuff. Let’s see how the horseshoe effect of conservative Muslims and Republicans uniting in Michigan goes. Maybe I can wrap my brain around Dave and other Muslims becoming MAGATs.

Someone on this thread clearly just learned the phrase "punching down" and is so excited to be using it.

[quote] [R139] No they're not. You're seeing what you wanna see.

I'm seeing what's there. Don't blame me if you're too lazy to read.

[quote] I never considered Dave “right wing,” mainly because he’s both black and Muslim, people that the Republicans demonize on a regular basis.

r152 I would consider socially conservative Islam to be right wing. Th Nation of Islam and Farrakhan are right wing as well. They're admired by white separatists because Black Muslims are black separatists. Black Muslims believe in Booker T Washington's "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" philosophy - no reliance on a progressive central government.

Ha R153. Truth. It's always been an annoying phrase.

R153 "punching down" and "toxic masculinity" both in one sentence!

R155 That makes sense, although Dave isn’t a Black separatist by any stretch. He has dozens of white friends, and his wife is Filipino. His fan base is predominately white too. IIRC, he was raised in a racially mixed suburb by upper middle class parents, so he’s not exactly a brother from the hood.

Lots of examples of all sides turning to ridicule when they have no arguments left in this thread.

[quote]

I think the iceberg sketch is funny, it got some laughs, but it’s “Carol Burnett Show” funny. I can totally see Harvey Korman doing the exact same bit. Chappelle’s humor is quite different from that style, so there’s really no comparison.

Jesus Christ, that iceberg sketch is the opposite of funny.

In skilled hands the iceberg sketch could have been funny.

Bowen Yang's act is all about being a gay stereotype.

He's a throwback to the era of Paul Lynde, but without the talent.

I liked the iceberg sketch. It was funny.

That being said - if you have any doubts about Yang being insufferable and stunted - listen to this podcast where he dissects a month long “relationship” in painstaking detail.

They're both fug who cares!

I find both of them very entertaining. Don’t make me pick sides.

[quote] Black Muslims believe in Booker T Washington's "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" philosophy - no reliance on a progressive central government.

That "reliance on a progressive central government" is just another form of the plantation. If Farrakhan could have overcome his hatreds he could have become a great man.

R166's posting history checks out. What an asshole.

r151 Bowen isn’t even Japanese you racist jackass

R157, mocking those phrases, doesn't make them any less real, or any less valid. They're both true of Dave Chappell. And that makes him a shitty person.

"That "reliance on a progressive central government" is just another form of the plantation."

Oh fucking BULLSHIT. It's called living in a society, and having a decent standard of living.

I was shocked to learn that Chappelle is only 50. His opinions make him seem a lot older.

Oh no thank you R163. I'm trying to quit.

Where? I watched the video? I don't see it?

What do people want? A time out chair and naughty corner? Thrown in the volcano? Attention? PR apologies?

Nothing happened.

I'm a strong believer in comics having a broad field to play on and then letting the audience decide if they want to hear what the comic has to say. Since Dave Chappelle's audiences have not dwindled and his specials still do incredibly well for Netflix, I would assume the audience has made its choice.

Bowen Yang can distance himself from whomever he chooses, but why show your ass on TV, unless getting attention for yourself is more important than the thing you're supposed to be upset about.

R174 Agree 100%. There’s something to be said for professionalism. Yang is more interested in virtue signaling.

If you ever listen to Yang discuss anything on his culturistas podcast, he has the maturity of a 19 year old girl. It’s not surprising he would get offended, march onstage, pull that body language and hiss at his friend to look over at Chappelle. It’s how a passive aggressive teenager would act if her nemesis dared step foot onstage.

His best friend (and podcast cohost) Matt Rogers is likable, funny and quite cute. I don’t know how he puts up with Yang.

Remember Yang announcing a social media break because he was disassociating? The break lasted a couple days and he later said it was disassociation from mixing a bunch of psych meds 🙄

R175, what "professionalism" was Chappelle showing in that moment? Thinking he deserved to be up on that stage for no reason, having had absolutely nothing to do with the show?

I hate them both!

Yes, Dave just walked up on that stage. Nothing happens on that show without Lorne signing off on it.

[quote]what "professionalism" was Chappelle showing in that moment? Thinking he deserved to be up on that stage for no reason, having had absolutely nothing to do with the show?

He's hosted the show 3 times.

He's part of the SNL family, is friends with the cast. And he's not the only celeb to ever make a surprise appearance.

Have any other cast members complained, or shown any discomfort, with Chapelle being there, besides this attention hungry little twerp?

Maybe Dave jumped on stage so he could tell Bowen how much he loved him in Bros.

Bowen doesn't represent me as a gay person.

In my opinion, he's a petty, bitchy, cliquish little annoying queen who needs to be ignored and/or shunned.

You know, the one who keeps buzzing around you at a club, until you have to tell it to GO AWAY.

I wonder if Yang will be fired. Lorne’s not a fan of cast members (or guests for that matter) setting these kind of precedents of disrespect.

R183. And risk being labeled a racist? Not likely.

Those YASSS QUEEN flyover fraus love Bowen. He’s not getting fired.

Bowen's career keeps getting bigger and bigger. He's booked and busy.

[quote] Bowen's career keeps getting bigger and bigger. He's booked and busy.

Sure, Jan.

[quote][R183]. And risk being labeled a racist? Not likely.

Lorne has banned Kanye West and Martin Lawrence from hosting. He had Trump host the show once. Lorne is not as politically correct as you think, R184.

Dave Chappelle wasn’t even on the show. So I don’t know why in the hell he jumped up on stage. He’s just like Jon Hamm. Waiting for the after party so they can get wasted. Sick of both of them.

I just can’t with Yang. Ever since he played the iceberg that sank the TITANIC. So corny. And Chappelle is okay with me…we’re around the same age so I get him. And I’m not pro-trans so there’s that. But people forget about his friend who was a trans woman who took their own life. He mentions that in his last stand up comedy before his most recent. I don’t think he’s anti trans at all.

I mean this in the nicest possible way, r190, but you sound like an asshole.

R191 better than being a pussy like you. Kill yourself.

Hmmmmmm.

R190, you're an ignorant mean-spirited bullying bigot like Chappelle. We get it. You're both terrible failures as human beings.

Bowen Yang's entire career is born from Social Media and 3-minute videos. He'd be crucified on the internet if didn't show contempt for a successful comedian and a storied career like Dave Chappels. BTW, what comedian or comic actor/writer isn't deep down problematic and awkward?

WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE TRANNIES!!??

It's clear a lot of gay white men put being "white men" over being gay, and will jump on board any white supremacy train, and defend any bigotry, and side with any male bigot. Chappelle is just another sell-out to white supremacist bigotry himself, as too many minorities are doing lately. His embrace of Joe Rogan is a perfect data point.

And y'all are defending Dave Chappelle's cooning and clownery.

Get off the cross, R197.

We need the wood.

Bowen Yang will never have the career Chapelle has.

He’s another unfunny liberal favorite. A flash in the pan.

R197 That’s not true at all and you sound like a white liberal.

Black people are politically liberal but morally conservative. If you think most black people think cutting off your penis or chopping off your tits is mentally healthy, you’re a white privileged liberal. Honestly.

[quote] Bowen Yang will never have the career Chapelle has. A flash in the pan.

Exactly.

The ONLY reason he has any sort of career is because of his time on SNL.

The moment he leaves the show, he'll never be heard from again.

The trans bit in Dave's act was a one off, some people lost their minds and tried to cancel him, so he doubled down on it because he's in a position where he'd rather double down than have a vocal minority dictate what he can say on stage. Quite frankly, I think the reason why he hasn't been cancelled is because either 1) he didn't say anything all that bad and/or 2) what he said a lot of people have thought at least once and it didn't come across as transphobic.

R200, if you think that's what being trans is, you're a fucking ignorant bigoted asshole.

It came across as completely transphobic, and a lot of people think black people are inferior that doesn't make them right. You're a fucking idiot defending him, just like he's a fucking idiot for doubling down on his ignorant bigotry.

R204, we ignored you the first time when you were R203. No one cares. Go put on a pair of panties and tell someone else how you're a woman.

What's it like to be wrong about everything? Now you're assuming I'm trans? Fuck off, moron. You know nothing.

[quote] What's it like to be wrong about everything?

I don't know. I'm not you.

R205 eat at Chick-Fil-A

It feels like Dave Chappelle is just a few months away from endorsing Trump.

I don’t think that he’s going to support Trump. Feelings aren’t facts.

It feels like nothing, microdick R209.

r192 Why are you so mean?

[quote]Black people are politically liberal but morally conservative.

Conservative how? As in “nuclear family” conservative?

[quote] Dave Chappelle is not homophobic, period.

This! Some people get his comedy, and others get crazed by his comedy because they don't understand it. They react to the words, not the meaning.

And I don't care what you say, that bit Dave did about the interaction he had with the lesbian couple who have a child in the same private school as his kid is funny as fuck.

It's a YouTube short so you'll probably have to watch it on your android or apple device.

Or just not watch it at all, r214.

That's entirely up to you cookie.

Sorry R212.

I meant NEO pussy...

One sad thing about us homos, we can dish it out like mad, but many of us can't take it when it comes back at us. No one group disparages trans and lesbians more than gay men. That's a fact, and I am unanimous in that.

I can't wait to see what Miss Bowen Yang thinks about this newest guest host on February 24.

Will he and his fellow LGBT cast members boycott this show, too?

Clearly, Lorne Michaels gives ZERO FUCKS about what Bowen Yang thinks! Bwahahahahahahaha....

[quote] Shane Gillis to host SNL on February 24

Shane Gillis, the comedian who was fired from “Saturday Night Live” after racist jokes of his resurfaced in 2019, is set to host “SNL” on Feb. 24 with musical guest 21 Savage.

Gillis was hired as a new cast member in September 2019, but was fired a week later after videos surfaced of the comedian using racial slurs in a September 2018 episode of his podcast. Soon after the clip was posted to Twitter, it went viral, leading to an outcry for “SNL” to fire Gillis. The comedian used slurs against Asians and the LGBTQ community in past episodes of his show.

“I’m a comedian who pushes boundaries,” Gillis said in a statement posted on Twitter shortly after the outcry. “I sometimes miss. If you got through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you’re going to find a lot of misses. I’m happy to apologize to anyone who’s actually offended by anything I’ve said. My intention is never to hurt anyone but I am trying to be the best comedian I can be and sometimes that requires risks.”

Gillis released his first comedy special on YouTube in 2021 and his second special, “Shane Gillis: Beautiful Dogs” on Netflix in 2023.

^ Was that just decided? Perhaps as a way to put little Bowens in his place?

I guess so, R220.

And it's a DOUBLE fuck you to Bowen, because Shane Gillis was accused of racism against asians AND LGBT people!

Stay tuned!

Yay! Yeah, fuck gays and Asians! This is great!

[quote]Yay! Yeah, fuck gays and Asians! This is great!

It's comedy.

Besides, if a black or Asian comedian poked fun at white people, you'd have no problem with it. And you know it.

I notice that no one seems to ever complain about Chappelle's jokes about black people, which he does plenty of. Everyone, every race, every group, every nationality does and says tons of things that are laugh worthy.

Dave’s bit on Asian masculinity:

No, that's your opinion, however wrong it is.

Dave Chappelle isn't funny anymore and some of you just can't handle it. Most of all him.

Yet he just won his fifth Grammy for Best Comedy album tonight. Where are Bowen's awards?

Yang was a DEI hire. They hired him over backlash about the hiring of Gillis.

[quote] Dave Chappelle isn't funny anymore and some of you just can't handle it. Most of all him.

He won a Grammy tonight and he brings millions in revenue to Netflix. Sorry, you’re wrong, dear.

Humor is subjective. I never found Andrew Dice Clay or Dane Cook funny, but they sold out arenas and stadiums, and the crowds yelled and chanted as if those were big sports events instead of stand-up comedy shows.

The masks comes off. NBC and SNL openly encourages racism.

HA HA!

Like Joe Rogan, Dave has spent way too much time huffing his own farts and buying his own bullshit. His ego is out of control.

There's definitely a market for arrogantly ignorant asshats. I mean, just look at Joe Rogan.

I'm just surprised and disappointed that there are so many gay men and members of this site that are part of that market. It's kinda pathetic.

WAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAH!

Rogan’s a meathead, but he’s a good interviewer who gets his guests to open up. Chappelle is a bigot, but he’s a clever bigot who has a way with words. Yang is just an embarrassing sissy who’s comedy is as broad and corny as a 70s variety show. You can guess which one of the three I can’t tolerate.

^^ whose, not who’s.

I don't think cast members make a lot per show. I wonder how many Bowen can afford to sit out and how much Lorne must hate him.

[quote] I wonder how many Bowen can afford to sit out

I hadn't heard he walked out

Hoping Dave will disappear again. Have another mental breakdown.

R240 Like the one Bowens had?

Chappelle, Rogan, and Musk: you should should all go to drug/alcohol rehab. Also, quit the weekly testosterone injections. Your heads are turning into hemorrhoids.

R236, why waste time with any of them?

I’m explaining why those guys are successful millionaires with huge fanbases, while Yang, on the other hand, is on his way to becoming yet another forgotten SNL castoff.

Now this

After reading R245, I can see why Lorne Michaels hates Bowen Yang, and either wants him to quit, or to fire him.

This whiny cunt is a liability, and ruining the show.

He may be those things, but he's also not wrong.

He's the tail trying to wag the dog

[r218} She agrees!

Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais are breaths of fresh air. People are sick and tired of the PC crap.

(rolling eyes at R250)

[quote]Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais are breaths of fresh air. People are sick and tired of the PC crap.

True.

And if Bowen were an actual comedian, he would have come up with a smart funny snarky comment to deal with Nikki Haley being on the show, or Chapelle jumping up on stage, instead of sulking. A George Carlin or Richard Pryor have known how to handle the situation.

𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 -- 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬

Bowen Yang changed his mind about using passive-aggressive Instagram posts to send Saturday Night Live leadership a message. Apparently, he’s now doing it by giving them the silent treatment.

As of today, Yang’s Instagram page no longer contains any mention of Haley’s SNL appearance. In fact, it no longer contains any mention of SNL at all – the comedian scrubbed every scrap of SNL from his social media presence.

SNL fans who have never listened to a single episode of Las Culturistas will probably see the similarities between Yang’s online behavior and that of a star athlete sending a message to his team’s front office that he wants to be traded. For celebrities in the modern age, scrubbing your show, sports team or record label from your social media profiles is Pot-Stirring 101.

Stupid ass is gonna fuck himself right out of a D-list career into Nobodyville.

Message to Bowen Yang- You DON'T have fans. No one will remember you five minutes after your ass hits the pavement.

Translation? FIRED!

Shane Gillis is hosting SNL on February 24th, and he does not hold back on the tranny jokes. Chappelle looks like the goddamn HRC in comparison. I think Lorne is sending a message to both Yang and the it/that cast member!

[quote] Bowen Yang changed his mind about using passive-aggressive Instagram posts to send Saturday Night Live leadership a message. Apparently, he’s now doing it by giving them the silent treatment.

This is pretty typical behavior by a fem azn queen.

It's why nobody likes them.

They're just fucking annoying!

I hope Lorne gets pushed out the door sooner than he planned. SNL is NBC's biggest show among the coveted youth demographic, and they don't like anti-trans and conservative rhetoric. Lorne is really biting the hand that feeds him.

[quote] Lorne is really biting the hand that feeds him.

No, dear. That would be Bowen Yang, who is biting the hand that is feeding him.

Lorne pays his salary.

It's just funny to me that Chapelle walked away from his enormously lucrative show because racists found him funny and now he is making enormous amounts of money by making racists laugh.

My coloncunt stinks!

I'm shocked that crybaby Bowen hasn't boycotted the show yet over Shane Gillis hosting this Saturday.

He must know that he's on fucking THIN ICE with Lorne Michaels.

"If you don't like it, then QUIT!"

Oh I’m sure he will do something. He won’t be able to contain himself.

Did the crybaby pout and throw a tantrum AGAIN last night?

This show is such a downgrade for Shane. It’s corny and no one watches it.

This was pretty great:
