Dave Chappelle attacked on stage

And major award show switching networks

What to know

• Dave Chappelle tackled on stage at the Hollywood Bowl… A man carrying a replica gun that could discharge a knife ran on stage and tackled Chappelle during the Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival Tuesday night. The suspect has since been arrested. Regardless of how you view Chappelle, this is a frightening and alarming incident that echoes Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. Many asked after that event if people would feel emboldened to attack comedians. Rock happened to be at Tuesday’s show and joined Chappelle on stage after the incident to ask, “was that Will Smith?” There is scarce video of the assault because attendees were forced to secure their phones in Yondr bags. And yet the suspect carried a switch-blade “gun” into the show without issue. 🤔
