The Left spent the end of 2021 trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/netflix-dave-chappelle-free-speech\/\">cancel the comedian<\/a> for jokes he told during his Netflix special, \u201cThe Closer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comedian\u2019s so-called transphobia could get people killed, critics cried, ignoring how Chappelle ended the special with a haunting tribute to a late trans comic.<\/p>\n<p>That Cancel Culture attempt failed, but a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/theater-caves-cancels-dave-chappelle-hours-before-show-we-know-there-are-some-who-will-not-agree-with-this-decision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minneapolis venue revived it<\/a>. First Avenue, famous in part for giving black artists a stage when other venues refused, canceled Chappelle\u2019s planned performance hours before showtime.<\/p>\n<p>The show still went on, at a different Minneapolis club, but it reminded everyone the woke mob isn\u2019t done with Chappelle. And if it can attack arguably the greatest living comedian, every other funny person is fair game.<\/p>\n<p>That may be why Rock and Hart rallied to Chappelle\u2019s side for one special night.<\/p>\n<p>Chappelle thanked the crowd, cracked wise about getting attacked during his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/chappelles-hollywood-bowl-attacker-no-regrets\/\">Hollywood Bowl performance<\/a> and trashed the New York Post for allegedly goading his assailant to say what the right-leaning paper wanted him to say.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ChrisRock?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ChrisRock<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/KevinHart?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#KevinHart<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DaveChappelle?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DaveChappelle<\/a> on the same stage at MSG was nothing short of legendary.

That didn\u2019t help him back in 2018 when the Oscars named him as its<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/kevin-hart-oscar-host-homophobic\/\"> next Academy Awards host<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The honor didn\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n<p>Some of Hart\u2019s old material \u201cresurfaced\u201d and he stepped down under immense social justice pressure. Since then, he\u2019s been more willing to attack Cancel Culture, but often in ways that align with his positive persona.<\/p>\n<p>That personal pain may be why he reflected on the MSG tour stop\u00a0on Instagram:<\/p>\n<p><em>Last night was by far the best moment of my career\u2026.I can\u2019t even explain it\u2026I can\u2019t find the words\u2026Just know that last night was the true definition of a \u201cEPIC NIGHT\u201d \u2026..I love my brothers more than words can explain.

Jimmy Fallon, the suddenly far-left \u201cTonight Show\u201d host, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/jimmy-fallons-re-education-trump\/\">imitated Rock 20 years ago,<\/a> and he employed darkening makeup (blackface) to do it.<\/p>\n<p>The mob came for him, and Fallon made a mewling apology on his NBC show.<\/p>\n<p>Rock could have rushed to Fallon\u2019s defense right away. Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/chris-rock-jimmy-fallon-cancel-culture\/\">he said nothing<\/a>. A few months later Rock shared support for Fallon, but by then it was too late.<\/p>\n<p>Rock may have had a change of heart regarding Cancel Culture in recent months. He\u2019s tackling it directly on stage now, and by inviting Chappelle to his show he\u2019s sending another strong signal.<\/p>\n<p>We have Dave\u2019s back, and we won\u2019t be silent about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two comedy superstars used a historic stage to send a message to Cancel Culture.
