Dave Chappelle's representative is pushing back on a report that claimed"Saturday Night Live" writers were staging a boycott ahead of his hosting the show this weekend.
"We've seen nothing to support media reports of a writer's boycott," Chappelle's rep told CNN in a statement."In fact, the writers delivered over 40 sketches for Dave's consideration and collaboration. Just as during Dave's past 'SNL' appearances, you won't want to miss it!" News of Chappelle's hosting was met with some furor on social media given his controversial comments over the years about the transgender community, especially given that the show announced in September that it was adding its first nonbinary cast member, comedian and actor Molly Kearney, and has a trans nonbinary writer, Celeste Yim.
