There’s unrest at 30 Rock, Page Six hears, over the decision to sign up Dave Chappelle to host “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.

We’re told that some staff writers are so furious that the comedy superstar — who has made transphobic and homophobic jokes — has been chosen to helm the iconic show that they’re sitting out the episode.

“They’re not going to do the show,” an insider told Page Six. “But none of the actors are boycotting.”

But Chappelle’s rep told us that there was nothing to suggest that there was a boycott when they attended writers’ meetings this week.

quote:

After the announcement, “SNL” writer Celeste Yim reportedly wrote on Instagram Stories: “I’m trans and non-binary. I use they/them pronouns. Transphobia is murder and it should be condemned.”

How are these people filling these roles?

The way these people throw these bitch fits over being offended it's hard to imagine them being funny or clever in any sort of way. It's just a person who was neglected, made fun of, never received the attention they desired from either from parents or the opposite sex, and trying to grab some power out of their meaningless lives.

Again, nothing about this seems to scream writer for a comedy show due to your perspective and wit!

This may be the funniest shite an SNL writer has written in 20 years.

Lorne needs some balls. If they dont want to work then stay that way. There is nothing wrong with Dave Chapelle.

I love how they’re fine and laugh at all the other fricked up shite Chapelle says, but somehow making fun of trans stuff is ‘murder’. How the frick do these people live so miserably?

They should all be fired and be replaced by Chappelle. If you're some SJW I think you ought to be conflicted: do you defend the black guy or trash him because you want to impress trans people?
