Dave Chappelle Performed A 'FAKE' SNL Monologue During Dress Rehearsal To Trick Them Into Letting Him Do His Real One Live: REPORT

If this is true, Dave Chappelle knew exactly how damaging his words were going to be… A new source is speaking out about some of the behind-the-scenes antics that occurred during this week’s Saturday Night Live, which has been met with a ton of backlash after the stand-up star normalized and popularized Kanye West’s antisemitic remarks.

Chatting with Page Six on Monday, the insider claimed the Sticks & Stones alum performed a “fake” opening monologue during the dress rehearsal for his SNL hosting gig — then switched things up last minute before anyone could say no!

If he seriously tricked the whole production into airing his opening monologue, that’s messed up!! Not only is it disrespectful considering Lorne (and probably plenty of other SNL creatives) is Jewish himself, but it shows he knew how harmful his speech was going to be and just didn’t give a f**k.
