Dave Chappelle is set to host “Saturday Night Live” this week for the third time, but it’s being reported that some of the show staff are upset about his booking. Sources have told Page Six that some staff writers are so upset about Chappelle hosting because of accusations of transphobic and homophobic jokes that they’re boycotting the episode.
Chappelle’s rep tells a different story, though; the rep says there was nothing to suggest that there was a boycott when they attended writers’ meetings this week with “a room full of writers” who all seemed excited. The insider says that no actors are boycotting the show.
