Dave Chappelle’s antisemitism-focused “SNL” monologue, according to Jerry Seinfeld, “Provokes a Conversation.”

In response to Dave Chappelle’s opening monologue on Saturday Night Live, Jerry Seinfeld has spoken out.

The Jewish comic, who is 68 years old, addressed Chappelle’s jokes about Kanye West’s recent antisemitic remarks.

He told The Hollywood Reporter, “I did believe the comedy was well-executed. But I feel that this conversation is not appropriate for this setting given the subject at hand.

When asked if the monologue “uncomfortable,” the Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee actor reinforced his argument.

He continued, “It prompts a conversation that hopefully is fruitful.”

Chapelle, 49, is not a close buddy of Seinfeld’s, who added, “I don’t have a close relationship with him. We’re friends, but it’s not a close friendship.”

On Saturday, Chappelle began Saturday Night Live by unfolding a piece of paper and saying, “I reject antisemitism in all of its manifestations. And I support my Jewish friends in this fight. That’s how you buy yourself some time, Kanye.”

The comedian then said that although he usually gets in touch with West, 45, when the rapper is embroiled in trouble, he decided not to this time. Last month, before making a series of podcast and television appearances where he continued to use antisemitic rhetoric, West wrote on now-deleted social media that he wanted to “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.”

There are two words in the English language that you should never say in succession: “the” and “Jews,” according to Chappelle.
