Dave Chappelle goes for the post-election hat trick.
In what seems to have turn into a convention, the comic is ready to host “Saturday Night time Reside” but once more after Tuesday’s U.S. mid-term election, following his earlier internet hosting gigs on Nov. 7, 2020, and Nov. 12, 2016 — each of these being the primary episodes following the presidential election.

“SNL” confirmed Saturday that Chappelle will host the Nov. 12 episode, which is able to air 4 days after America goes to the polls.
Black Star — the hip-hop duo of Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey, a.ok.a. Mos Def — will be a part of Chappelle as musical visitor.
Chappelle ruffled many a feather together with his 2021 Netflix particular “The Nearer”, which noticed the provocative comic seemingly reply to previous accusations of homophobia and transphobia by doubling down on jokes in regards to the LGBTQ neighborhood. Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s co-CEO and chief content material officer, defended Chappelle amid the backlash, telling The New York Instances, “We would like one thing for everyone however all the things’s not going to be for everyone.” He later apologized to Netflix workers for the tone of his preliminary feedback after many staffers expressed outrage.
On the 2016 “SNL” present, Chappelle requested the viewers to “Give Trump an opportunity” in his monologue; he later backpedalled on his cautious optimism, admitting, “I f**ed up.” He would go on to win the 2017 Primetime Emmy Award for Excellent Visitor Actor in a Comedy Collection for the speech.
