i would like to be canceled like dave chappelle.e's gotten $20 million for his last specials each. i think he's court thing cancel culture because that's a market. but there's two conversations. what did you think about dave chappelle's special? and how do we create a safer america for trans people. the dave chappelle special might be part of the conversation but it's not the main part. >> i said look, i'm sure you offend people with your comedy. you don't think you offend people at times? >> of course i do. i think the idea is like, who are you offending and why. dave chappelle talked about the idea of punching up and down. that's an idea i believe in. i only want to offend the people who i think should be offended. that's how i roll. not every comic works that way and i don't think every comic should work that way. but once you offend people, you have to deal with the consequences. right now dave chappelle is hearing from people. but none of the people at netflix are saying take his special down, they're saying we want to create a

it was morgan freeman promoting dave chappell's new comedy special "the closer." ost-watched show in the u.s. today. meanwhile, activists are calling it trans foeber, homophobic and anti-semitic. glaad said chappelle's brand has become synonymous. back with me pete dominick, liz plank and eugene daniels. i will go first and take incoming in this. i watch it this afternoon and i thought it was hilarious. i thought it was really funny and i respect a lot of people will find it offensive, and it was offensive. i'm not going to lie. it was offensive, but it raises the question as to what we expect from our comedians. that's what i want to get to you guys to answer. you tweeted out, last week, chappelle is your favorite of all time. do you still feel that way? >> yeah. i mean he -- you take an artist, their entire body of work. you can even separate the art from the artist in a case like bill cosby or something, but i was never really a huge fan of his comedy. yeah, chappelle is special. killing him softly is my favorite. i know him. i have been doing stand-up for 12 ye

part of dave chappelle's thing was to make everyone uncomfortable. yeah. >> which was a kpaer son i found very, you know, clumsy at best. and obviously very offensive at worst. >> hoarse the thing about dave chappelle. that's his brand, right? he wants to make us squirm. we want to squirm. that's part of what we sign up for when we listen to him. so i think that is exactly part of his intention. he's kind of doubling down on previous controversy. and the other thing that's interesting to know about dave chappelle, he embraces all of this controversy. he cannot be canceled. dave chappelle is under uncancellable. he already proved he is ready to walk away from $50 million. he showed fame, money and public opinion mean nothing to him. a lot of people feel comedy should be the safe space where you can push boundaries, offend, and address social commentary in that way. the question is, is it funny to ridicule the most marginalized people in society. i would say no. a lot of people did find this very funny. >> he seems to be saying there's real life and th

every trip is a big deal. >>> so back now with more controversy on the dave chappelle special. thanks for having me. >> jackelyn moore "dear white people" says she won't work for the streaming service as long as they keep his content. she says chappelle uses the same language used by people that seek to hurt us. what do you think octobabout th? >> i don't disagree. i think cahppelle is framing himself as someone that is posing honest questions to the audience. i think, too, it feels like it's very apologizeeticapologetic. i do think that he is missing a lot of spots here in his ability or desire to raise the conversations. i think he's overlooking the fact when he speaks on transgender and sexuality issues, he's omitting the fact that black people are apparently apart of the communities, as well and seems to actually be upholding a lot of commentary by trying to frame a lot of groups together and i don't think they are helping conversations for anyone. >> in the special he says that he hates the phrase punching down but you think he's doing exactly that. why do you say that? >>
