Dave Chappelle just told Michelle Obama the current political climate is so unbearable even his comedy can’t keep up with the chaos. The legendary comedian sat down with the former first lady and her brother, Craig Robinson, for an episode of her podcast IMO, dropping some raw takes on how exhausting the news cycle has become.
According to The Hill, Chappelle called the current state of things “insufferable”. His conversation with Obama was equal parts bleak and hopeful, a signature mix for a comedian who’s spent decades turning societal absurdity into punchlines. But this time, even he sounded worn down. “Every day the news cycle is more appalling than the last day, and this doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to end,” he said.
