Jerrod Carmichael Calls Dave Chappelle an ‘Egomaniac’: ‘He Wanted Me to Apologize Publicly or Some S—‘ for Criticizing His Anti-Trans Legacy


Jerrod Carmichael calls Dave Chappelle an "egomaniac" as they beef over the latter's jokes about the transgender community.

Jerrod Carmichael recently opened up to Esquire magazine about tensions with fellow comedian Dave Chappelle. “And it’s like, that’s a funny enough line, whatever, but I wonder if he gets the irony that the fact that you are mocking it even then is why it was hard,” Carmichael said, adding that Chappelle apparently did not take the criticism about his legacy well. Clarifying his original criticisms, Carmichael told Esquire that Chappelle is “not revealing anything personal about himself and he’s removed from what he’s talking about, and I think he’s smarter than that and deeper than that and has more interesting thoughts.”
