Jon Stewart defended his pal Dave Chappelle’s recent controversial “Saturday Night Live” monologue.
The comedian, 49, guest-hosted the NBC sketch series Nov. 12 and his stint caused an uproar in the “SNL” writer’s room.
He was then accused of regularizing anti-Semitism in his monologue, which Stewart, 59, disagrees with.
“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 Tuesday’s episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
” ‘He normalized anti-Semitism with the monologue,’ ” Stewart went on. “I don’t know if you’ve been on comment sections on most news articles, but it’s pretty normal. It’s incredibly normal.”
The former “Daily Show” host then pointed out that censoring would only make matters worse.
