Dave Chappelle opened for Chris Rock and Kevin Hart during a surprise appearance at their "Only Headliners Allowed" tour stop at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday night, days after his own show was canceled in Minnesota following community backlash. The 48-year-old comedian joined his friends on stage for what Hart called "the best moment of my career" as Chappelle was reportedly greeted by a roaring applause, and walked out to the Radiohead song, "Karma Police." "Had to sneak my way in here," Chappelle told the audience, via TMZ, adding, "despite what you may have read about in the news, I’m OK, and I appreciate the support." Less than one week ago, the comic faced scrutiny once again for booking a gig at the famed First Avenue in Minneapolis, only for the venue to cancel the show hours before Chappelle took the stage due to public ressistance from the transphobic jokes he made in his Netflix special, "The Closer." Dave Chappelle made a surprise appearance on stage Saturday night in New York City as he opened the show for Chris Rock and Kevin Hart at Madison Square Garden in New York City after being canceled in Minnesota days before.
