IT’S COME TO THIS: ‘SNL’ staff writers boycott over Dave Chappelle’s hosting gig.
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.”
Wait until the current writers discover what the show’s original writers crafted — and ‘80s cast member Eddie Murphy’s stand-up routines poked fun at.
