Dave Chappelle Claims 'SNL' Censored Monologue on Gaza and Transgender Issues

The comedian revealed during a San Francisco performance that producers restricted him from addressing certain topics during his January hosting stint.

Dave Chappelle stated that 'Saturday Night Live' producers prohibited him from discussing Gaza and transgender issues during his January 18 monologue.
Despite the restrictions, Chappelle made brief references to Palestine, urging empathy for displaced people and mentioning former President Jimmy Carter's connection to the region.
Chappelle closed a recent San Francisco set with the statement, 'Give the Jews a break, free Palestine,' before dropping the mic.
The comedian has faced ongoing criticism for past comments about the transgender community, which may have influenced the producers' decision to limit his topics.
NBCUniversal has not commented on the allegations of censorship, which Chappelle described as a significant limitation on his typically political material.
