Jerrod Carmichael recently opened up to Esquire magazine about tensions with fellow comedian Dave Chappelle. Carmichael, who is making the press rounds in support of his new HBO series, generated headlines in June 2022 when he criticized Chappelle, who had already been earning backlash for making jokes about the transgender community.
“Chappelle, do you know what comes up when you Google your name, bro?” Carmichael asked during a GQ magazine profile at the time, referring to the comedian’s comments about trans people. “That’s the legacy? Your legacy is a bunch of opinions on trans ---? It’s an odd hill to die on. And it’s like, ‘Hey, bro. Who the ---- are you? Who do you ----? What do you like to do?’”
“Childish jokes aside, who the ---- are you?” Carmichael added. “It’s just kind of played. But he’s choosing to die on the hill. So, alright, let him.”
In his new Esquire interview, Carmichael expanded on his thoughts about Chappelle. Carmichael, who came out as gay publicly in his April 2022 HBO special “Rothaniel,” said that Chappelle joked about the set and “referred to it as the bravest special for 1996.”
“And it’s like, that’s a funny enough line, whatever, but I wonder if he gets the irony that the fact that you are mocking it even then is why it was hard,” Carmichael said, adding that Chappelle apparently did not take the criticism about his legacy well.
“He took it as ‘---- Dave Chappelle,’ because he’s an egomaniac,” Carmichael continued. “He wanted me to apologize to him publicly or some ----.”
Clarifying his original criticisms, Carmichael told Esquire that Chappelle is “not revealing anything personal about himself and he’s removed from what he’s talking about, and I think he’s smarter than that and deeper than that and has more interesting thoughts.”
Variety has reached out to Chappelle’s representative for comment. Carmichael’s latest series, “Jarrod Carmichael Reality Show,” airs new episodes on Fridays on HBO and Max.
Free press to dirt the guy at the top of the heep to promote some crap nobody will watch.
Like Sulu dirting Shatner to sell a book nobody would ever read, let alone buy.
Jerrod Who?
I dunno, some fag that the muzzies he supports are going to toss off the top of a building.
It’s amazing most gay people don’t know most trans people are anti-gay. The trans agenda says that people cannot decide who to sleep with by their genitalia. So they would call a gay man who refuses to sleep with a trans man, who has female genitalia transphobic.
Is trans a hill worth literally dying spiritually on? Because the whole left seems to by dying on it.
Chappelle has problems of his own, but this depravity isn’t currently one of them.
I doubt Chapelle is waiting for an apology I bet he could care less what this guy thinks.
who??? feh...
This dude wants to keep talking about Chappelle for the same reason that trannies want to keep talking about JK Rowling. They are trying to surf in the wake of a much more beloved and popular person.
Your legacy is a bunch of opinions on trans -—? It’s an odd hill to die on. And it’s like, ‘Hey, bro. Who the —— are you? Who do you ——? What do you like to do?’”
“Childish jokes aside, who the —— are you?” Carmichael added. “It’s just kind of played. But he’s choosing to die on the hill. So, alright, let him.”
This is the so called comedians hill to die on. Do you want to lay it on the line for men who cut off their junk, tit implants and have a gash installed, so they can pretend to be female? The women are just as bad, taking the forearm skin off and fashioning a penis with that? Filet the breasts, take male hormones, and gut out the ovaries and womb while they are at it. Die on THIS HILL. Now realize, they are doing this to pre teens, and adolescents in mass numbers. THAT HILL????
Homophobic, Islamophobic and accurate all at once. I don’t know how to react to that.
100% correct…..
I googled Dave Chapelle…
People want to know how much money he has (alot)
How he met his wife
Why he took a break from standup
How long he lived in Africa
Nothing about him being a “transphobe”. 😂
What’s a ‘transphobe”?
Man, you just nailed it in the first comment. Exactly what I was thinking upon reading this. And your Sulu/Takei - Shatner comparison is perfect.
Apparently is people who make fun of transgender folks
Thank you.
This nobody probably begged Chapelle for some exposure or endorsement. I’m sure the little narcissist was totally taken aback that Chapelle didn’t acknowledge his homosexual privilege and expected an apology.
““Chappelle, do you know what comes up when you Google your name, bro?” Carmichael asked during a GQ magazine profile at the time, referring to the comedian’s comments about trans people. “That’s the legacy? “
