Things took a serious turn when Chappelle mentioned that flags would be flown at half-staff during Trump’s inauguration due to the death of former Democratic President Jimmy Carter.

Dave Chappelle Captures Attention With His Comments on Trump and Jimmy Carter After cracking up the audience with his Diddy jokes, Chappelle switched tones and got serious. 🧵 THREAD

Legendary comedian Dave Chappelle brought the laughs with a masterful 16-minute monologue to open SNL’s first episode of 2025. After delivering a range of laugh-out-loud moments, his message to Trump is now commanding widespread attention. Audience members started rolling when Chappelle discussed the catastrophic wildfires that devastated California—to which he dropped a hilarious conspiracy theory on what started the fires in the first place. “What started these fires? Now they say it’s arsonists. I’ve heard this theory, and I’m sure there were some arsonists, but there were a lot of elements that came together to make this fire the catastrophe that it was,” Chappelle said as he was setting up the punchline. “The winds were 100 miles an hour. LA was dry as a bone in the levees. And there were just too many factors. If you are a rational, thinking person, you have to at least consider the possibility that God hates these people.”

Next came a laugh-out-loud, three-minute story about Diddy and why Chappelle was never invited to his “freak offs.” True to his style, Chappelle leaned into self-pity, coming to an amusing conclusion that left the audience rolling.

The viral moment of the night happened when Chappelle shifted from former President Carter to Donald Trump. “The presidency is no place for petty people,” Chappelle declared before turning to the camera and uttering Trump’s name. “I know you [Donald Trump] watch the show,” he continued, delivering a direct plea to the incoming president. “Remember, whether people voted for you or not, they’re all counting on you. Whether they like you or not, they’re all counting on you. The whole world is counting on you,” Chappelle said. “I mean this when I say this. Good luck. Please do better next time. Please, all of us, do better next time. Do not forget your humanity. And please have empathy for displaced people, whether they’re in the Palisades or Palestine. Thank you very much, and good night.”

While doing better is an important message for everyone, some find it unfair that Chappelle singled out Trump, especially when Biden revealed his disdain for half the country by calling them “garbage,” a moment that hit Democrats hard this election cycle.

While I love Dave Chappelle’s comedy and he’ll always be a legend, maybe he should reflect and do better himself. A plea that makes only one side sound like they’re not striving to be a president for everyone just ends up splitting the country more. What do you think?

Dave is Muslim, he jokes about everyone and everything, except for Islam. Carter destroyed the middle east by letting the Mullahs and radical Islam back into Iran to over throw the Shah. The Shah who kept Iran secular, which it's been for most of it's 4000+ year history.

Carter was in bed with the Palestinians he flew into Egypt then went to the terrorist he tormented the world with for decades to come

Did this asshole so-called "goat" clown ever mentioned that President Trump (and First Lady) flew without lights on into danger zone at night to greet our troops? How about walking into North Korea to meet Kim Jong Un? Carter did irreversible damages to America.

Dave is a Muslim. And uses every SNL gig to mention this apartheid malarkey or how the Jews run the media. He’s funny though. But consider the source. Blaming 🇮🇱 for the W. Bank not being a Palestinian state ignores 7-8 rejected ☮️ deals (that one cannot expect to always be a fallback after endless wars).

Good jokes, too bad Carter's story ruined it.
