Chris Rock’s return to stand-up in New Orleans after a nine-year hiatus was crashed by none other than fellow comedian Dave Chappelle.
According to the Times-Picayune, a cigarette-smoking Chappelle took the stage at the Saenger Theatre and treated the audience to 30 minutes of unscheduled material. “Tonight, you are all part of a social experiment. Stranger things have happened in New Orleans,” he said.
Chappelle reportedly riffed on Rock’s rough divorce, Bill Cosby, and controversy over LGBTQ jokes he had made during his newly-released Netflix special.
Rock, the night’s headliner, later joined his longtime friend onstage and the pair spent the next hour cracking jokes back-and-forth.
During their banter, the New Orleans Advocate reports, Rock asked, “Did Trump do anything today?”
“No, he’s still languishing in that failure of a health care bill,” Chappelle reportedly responded, adding “I think Donald Trump is gonna save America by accident.”
Cellphones were reportedly confiscated at the door, so fans couldn’t comment on the evening’s events on social media. “Oh, you wish you had your phones now, right?” Rock joked.
As their shared set came to a close, Chappelle reportedly turned to the crowd and said “I just realized this might be one of the flyest things I’ve ever been a part of.
“The only thing better would be if Eddie Murphy lowered from the rafters,” he added.
The 43-year-old Chappelle made headlines in November when he appeared to defend Trump and blast former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during a secret stand-up set in New York, saying that the media had “twisted” Trump’s words on an Access Hollywood tape and adding that Clinton was “not right” for the presidency.

Gee you’d think the Democrats and mainstream media did not like the idea of black men expressing independent thought or something.
Confiscated cellphones?
Interesting, I always thought that his appearance on SNL the week after the election (the one that opened with McKinnon’s ridiculous sob story piano solo) was a trolling of the rest of the cast and that he had voted for Trump! I’m even more convinced he voted Trump now . . .
I just finished watching his Netflix show and he had some interesting things to say about Planned Parenthood and the whole transgender crap. Spot on and funny.

Kneehigh Park...
I can list’em all day.
“Chris Rock’s return to stand-up Saturday night in New Orleans after a nine-year hiatus”
Rock only does “standup” when a Pub is President. His shows are not actual comedy, but are nothing more than political rants.
Chris Rock wasn’t always like that. But he learned that if you want to have a career in Hollywood, you’d better Toe the Party Line.
Just by keeping Hillary out of the presidency he managed to do that.
Exactly. Once upon a time Chris Rock was funny.
What do you do when it’s dark and you’re all alone on MLK Jr Boulevard(in any city)?
RUN! Get the hell out of there!!
Now, Rock is all PC.... and not worth a listen.
“Chris Rock wasn’t always like that”
indeed, he used to be VERY funny.
“But he learned that if you want to have a career in Hollywood, you’d better Toe the Party Line.”
my impression was that kerry losing turned him extremely bitter. i remember his last HBO “comedy” special: it was a bitter, political rant. I don’t think he was ever asked to do a national standup gig after that, and if his new ‘standup’ gig is the same bitter, political rant, he’ll never have another national gig again.
Yes.
His routines about how he loves black people, but hates n***ers was laughed at the most, by black people.
NOT "white supremacists".
His audience is 90% + black, so who would think otherwise?
