Comedian Dave Chappelle is stirring up controversy with his latest Netflix special The Dreamer, which premiered on Dec. 31 on the streaming platform. Filmed in the same theater where Chappelle first started his career, the special mostly reflects on his ascent to success. However, Chappelle's renewed focus on jokes about the transgender community has landed him squarely in the public's crosshairs once more.
In The Dreamer, Chappelle declares that he’s done with making transgender jokes, a sensitive topic, given the outcry that he initially dredged up with his 2021 Netflix special The Closer.
