Jon Stewart Talks Kanye West, Defends “Good Friend” Dave Chappelle From Antisemitism Claims

While on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, former Daily Show host Jon Stewart discussed the recent talked of antisemitism in media.

Jon Stewart is standing by “good friend” Dave Chappelle. After Chappelle’s controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live, the former Daily Show host visited The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to discuss the recent wave of antisemitism in media. One day after hosting SNL, Chappelle was criticized of “popularizing” antisemitic remarks.

“Everybody calls me like, ‘You see Dave on “SNL”?’ And I say yes, we’re very good friends. I always watch and send nice texts,” Stewart said on The Late Show. “‘He normalized antisemitism with the monologue.’ I don’t know if you’ve been on comment sections on most news articles, but it’s pretty normal. It’s incredibly normal. But the one thing I will say is I don’t believe that censorship and penalties are the way to end antisemitism or to gain understanding. I don’t believe in that. It’s the wrong way for us to approach it.”

Sparoh’s “Panama” Delivers a Powerful Message of Confidence and Creative Freedom

Sparoh is an Atlanta-based artist creating music at the crossroads of melodic trap, alternative pop, and punk-fueled rebellion.
