Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer also hit Netflix on New Year’s Eve a year ago, and the comedian was widely criticized for his remarks about trans people during the special.

Chappelle joked about trance when talking about her encounter with the comedian Jim Carrey on the set of the Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon.

Carrey played the late comedian in the film, and according to Chappelle, Carrey was a method actor he got to know on set, and the actor kept his character. The “Half Baked” star, 51, added that he was grateful to witness Carey’s creative transformation, but it was “disappointing” at the time.

“Looking back, how lucky was I? That I saw one of the greatest artists of his time immersed in one of his most difficult processes? I was very fortunate to see that, but the way it happened, it was very disappointing,” Chappelle said.

“I wanted to meet Jim Carrey, and I had to pretend this n— was Andy Kaufman,” he continued. “He was clearly Jim Carrey all afternoon. I looked at him and saw that he was Jim Carrey. Anyway, I’m saying all this to say that trans people make me feel.’

“I don’t play with these people anymore,” he joked. “It wasn’t worth the trouble. I don’t talk about them. Maybe three or four times tonight, but that’s it. I’m tired of talking about them.”

“To be honest with you, I’ve been trying to rebuild my relationship with the transgender community because I don’t want them to think I don’t like them,” he continued.

“You know how I repaired it? I wrote a play. I wrote. Because I know gays love plays,” he joked. “It’s a very sad play, but it’s moving. It’s about a black transgender woman whose pronoun is unfortunately n—- at the end of the play she dies of loneliness because white liberals don’t know how to talk to her. It’s sad.”

Bhutto also said in her special message that Chappelle’s way of joking is “dangerous.”

“I’m not saying you can’t say anything – I’m just saying, ‘Can you make it funny?’ Because it’s not funny,” Bhutto said. “You’re hurting people and making it dangerous. And it’s not just about Chappelle, it’s a part of the culture that I don’t understand. When people say, “We can’t do what we used to do.” yes! Slavery used to be legal, guys. Sometimes we have to move on, and I’m sorry if it’s different, but wrap your little mind around it.”
