Tensions seem to be running high over at Saturday Night Live amid Dave Chappelle’s return as host of this week’s show. On Wednesday, Page Six reported that multiple SNL writers are boycotting Chappelle’s episode because of the comedian’s (pretty recent) history of transphobia.
“They’re not going to do the show,” an insider reportedly told Page Six. “But none of the actors are boycotting.” A rep for Chappelle disputed this, telling TMZ Thursday morning that it’s business as usual over at 30 Rock, and “everyone’s pitching sketch ideas as they normally do.”
