“Was That Will Smith?”: Chris Rock Took a Dig at SLAPGATE as Dave Chappelle Got Tackled on Netflix Is A Joke Fest

Everyone loves to have a good call back to something, don’t they? A witty call
back to a joke or a subtle dig at a hilarious is something each and everyone one
of us enjoys. And as it turns out, it’s something that Chris Rock enjoyed as
well. In a rather serious and yet hilarious incident, Chris Rock took a subtle
dig at the whole slapgate controversy when Dave Chappelle was attacked on stage
while performing at Hollywood Bowl under Netflix Is A Joke Festival.

The comedian duo was performing in Los Angeles, as Netflix is organizing one of
the biggest events for comedy in the city. It was during one of these
performances that an audience member made it to the stage and tried to attack
Dave Chappelle

According to reports
[https://abc7.com/dave-chappelle-attacked-tackled-hollywood-bowl/11816401/], the
attacker was carrying a knife as well as a gun.


CHRIS ROCK TAKES A DIG AT OSCAR SLAPGATE AS DAVE CHAPPELLE IS ATTACKED ON STAGE

While the incident was a pretty serious one on its own, the comedians themselves
were not that intimidated by it. Chris Rock took to stage after a little while
when the attacker was taken into custody. And to hilariously brought back the
memories of the Oscars 2022. We all remember how Will Smith hit the comedian

when he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

“Was that Will Smith?” Chris Rock asked while the audience members erupted in
laughter. And to be fair, it was not just the audience, but Chappelle himself,
who let out a laugh as well.

Dave Chappelle himself took this opportunity to land a punchline, which looks
like his way of releasing the pressure and getting out of the uncomfortable
situation. Chappelle said, “It was a trans man.” This is again a subtle
reference to the controversy that went down with his special The Closer.
