Chapelle won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his appearance on SNL in 2016. “I haven’t seen white people this mad since the O.J. [Simpson] verdict,” the comedian said during his 2016 monologue. He added that he was "wishing Donald Trump luck" after his victory against Hillary Clinton.The comedian faced backlash for saying that he was going to give Trump a chance, adding, “And we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one, too.” He apologized for his comments six months later during his set at the Robin Hood Gala in New York City in May 2017. “I was the first guy on TV to say ‘Give Trump a chance,’” he told the crowd. “I f**ked up. Sorry.” We're hoping that Chappelle and Foo Fighters can make us laugh about this very stressful situation across the border on Saturday night.The post-election episode airs Nov. 7 at 11:30 p.m. ET, four days after the election.
