I watched The Closer last night and I just didn’t find most of the jokes funny. The closest to a good laugh I had was when he disclosed his mild case of COVID and then claimed “I’m the Magic Johnson of the Coronavirus”. I laughed a lot more at his previous special “Sticks and Stones”.
One undeniable thing about Chappelle is that he’s rich enough to not care what anybody says about him. For that, I applaud his willingness to be edgy with many of the Left’s sacred cows. But he just didn’t hit the target with most of his jokes although the crowd in Detroit would disagree.
Years ago, I actually met his agent here in L.A. (they’re almost right beside our company) and he explained the idiots at Comedy central “overspent” on him, and he doesnt need to work again. He doesnt need to be like Seinfeld where he’s in the same boat, but “wants” to be on the road but not greedy enough to charge $75 a seat.
