Dave Chappelle Makes Ghoulish Joke About Charlie Kirk’s Murder to Sold-Out MSG Crowd: ‘Why Am I in Such a Good Mood?’
The comedian’s remark drew nearly 2 million views and sparked outrage from conservative figures and MAGA accounts online.
- On Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, Comedian Dave Chappelle sparked backlash after joking about Charlie Kirk's assassination, telling the audience, "I'm so happy Charlie Kirk was killed. I can't help it, it's involuntary."
- Kirk, an activist with Turning Point USA, was assassinated in September 2025 while speaking at Utah Valley University. The event occurred over a year before Chappelle's joke.
- Following the show, Rob Henderson, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, posted that the "second sentence struck me as particularly odd," while Benny Johnson criticized LiveNation's involvement.
- Social media accounts including "Canadian Republican" and @TheMagaHulk condemned the comedian, while Activist Drew Pavlou predicted celebrations of Kirk's murder would become "drag queen story time of Woke 2."
- Some commentators noted the irony of the backlash, given Chappelle's previous popularity with conservatives over his comedy about transgender issues, reflecting deeper political divisions on acceptable discourse.
