County Sheriff\u2019s custody on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe stormed the stage while Chappelle joked that he\u2019d had to increase his security in light of his trans jokes at the Netflix is a Joke festival,\u201d the Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10781055\/Dave-Chappelle-attacked-stage-LA.html\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThe attacker was armed with a gun that contained a hidden knife, according to the cops. It\u2019s unclear if he was searched on his way into the venue, or how he was able to gain access to the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While security was apparently light at the venue, its website said the show \u201cwould be a \u2018phone-free experience\u2019 and that the audience would have to secure their phones inside pouches,\u201d the Mail reported.<\/p>\n<p>During the mayhem, as Chappelle\u2019s security staff rushed the attacker, actor and singer Jamie Foxx also raced to help. During an encore, Chappelle thanked Foxx, saying: \u201cShout out to Jamie Foxx by the way. Whenever you\u2019re in trouble, Jamie Foxx will show up in a sheriff\u2019s hat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foxx said: \u201cI thought that was part of the show, I didn\u2019t know what the f***\u201d Foxx added: \u201cListen, I just want to say, this man is an absolute genius. We\u2019ve got to make sure we protect him at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor every comedian who comes out here, this means everything. You\u2019re a genius. You\u2019re a legend, I enjoyed myself thoroughly, and we\u2019re not going to let nothing happen to you,\u201d Foxx said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChappelle said: \u2018I\u2019ve been doing this for 35 years. I just stomped a n**** backstage. I\u2019ve always wanted to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comedian Chris Rock followed Chappelle on stage and said of the attacker, \u201cWas that Will Smith?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Rock was on the stage at the 94th Academy Awards, cracking wise about all the celebrities in the star-studded theater. Then he got to Smith\u2019s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJada, I love you, G.I. Jane 2, can\u2019t wait to see it. All right?\u201d Rock said. The joke was a reference to a movie that starred Demi Moore as a Navy lieutenant in which the actress sports a shaved head. Jada Pinkett Smith, too, has a shaved head, because she suffers from alopecia.<\/p>\n<p>While she rolled her eyes a bit and didn\u2019t laugh, her husband guffawed heartily, a big smile on his face. \u201cThat was a nice one, OK?\u201d Rock said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m out here \u2013\u201d Rock then said before breaking off. \u201cUh oh. Richard?\u201d he said, referring to Will Smith\u2019s part playing the father of Serena and Venus Williams\u2019 father in \u201cKing Richard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith strode onto the stage a took a swipe at Rock, not with a fist but an open hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh wow,\u201d Rock said. \u201cWow. Will Smith just smacked the s*** out of me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Smith then yelled, \u201cKeep my wife\u2019s name out of your f***ing mouth!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
