Remember when Dave Chappelle won this?

Now he brings Elon Musk on stage.

Yeahhh.

I mean, he got the award for being funny, and he is funny to most people. Granted, Louis CK is pretty funny too but I doubt he'll get it now.

Bill Bur is funnier than both, of course.

I was still defending Dave a little until that

I'm 100% sure Elon wrote a fat check for Dave. He wanted to feel adored and thought this was a good idea.

Now, Dave isn't an idiot. I think he saw an easy paycheck. And his words were carefully chosen. He knew exactly how people would react to "Richest man in the world"

At least he was and is still funny, despite the booing.

One thing I realized about Chappelle is I never really liked parts of his comedy. He was hilarious when telling a story, but once he was making "shock jokes" it got pretty lame.

I’m not just saying this cause it’s cool to rag on him now, but I literally never got why people thought he was some comedic genius. His show had some funny moments but it was pretty much all based on some sophomoric racial humor and stereotypes. Funny sometimes, sure, but nothing groundbreaking.
