Dave Chappelle has picked “an odd hill to die on,” per fellow comedian Jerrod Carmichael.

In a new interview with GQ Hype, Carmichael spoke on the generational differences in how people offer words of support amid major life milestones, using his 15-year-old niece as an example.

“I love this generation,” he said in the new interview with Frazier Tharpe. “I actually fukk with them, and fukk all those comedians that are going so hard against them.” From there, Carmichael—whose Sundance-premiered directorial debut On the Count of Three is out now—got more specific, particularly on the topic of so-called “cancel culture” and the larger myth he says is surrounding it.

“What does that mean, that people are mad on Twitter? Everybody’s fine. These grown men are fine,” he said. “I think, a lot of times, people who offer nothing truthful or meaningful about themselves then complain about society at large and create this boogeyman. It’s like, listen, that’s the most urgent thing in your life? God bless you. I’m tired of hearing it.”


Addressing Chappelle’s recent controversies and stand-up material that’s been widely criticized as transphobic, Carmichael brought up the issue of legacy, wondering aloud why Chappelle would want this to be what may be remembered most about his work.


"Chappelle, do you know what comes up when you Google your name, bro? That’s the legacy? Your legacy is a bunch of opinions on trans shyt? It’s an odd hill to die on,” he said. “And it’s like, hey, bro. Who the fukk are you? Who do you fukk? What do you like to do? Childish jokes aside, who the fukk are you? It’s just kind of played. But he’s choosing to die on the hill. So, alright, let him.”


He kinda has a point...

Dave legacy don’t have shyt to do with any of that trans stuff. Dude has cemented his name long before that.


If anything buddy kind of talking about his legacy, only one thing I really know from him is him coming out and stating he is gay. Other than that anything memorable from him comedy wise?:manny:

That's smart dumb nikka talk. Your legacy ain't the most recent talk about you, its your career/life as a whole. His legacy is that of one of the greatest, most consistent stand ups ever with multiple classic specials plus a TV show that made history and influenced an entire generation. It's not some feminists and woke mob being angry at him.

Not really. I believe Dave’s point was that he has a right to make jokes about whatever he wants to. And if you have issues with it then don’t watch. It just so happens that the trans jokes is what has certain people in an uproar.

Dave will be absolutely fine.

You think Dave Chappelle got into comedy to worry about “legacy” you dumb fukk?

Carmichael isn’t a good comedian to begin with and he won’t have half whatever legacy Chappelle leaves behind. It’s such a stupid question to even ask.

And what’s worse than that is he doesn’t have the integrity or intelligence to deal with the content of Dave’s commentary or the genius through which Dave weaves a larger narrative in his comedy specials.

when i watched Carmichael's special i'm sure i remember him making some weird pedo jokes so he really doesn't have much room to talk about content. he's just lucky someone hasn't made a big deal about his jokes and that be what comes up when u google his name
