Page Six revealed that at dress rehearsal Dave Chappelle performed a different monologue than he did live. Whether it was a decoy monologue so Lorne Michaels and the NBC brass wouldn’t know what he was going to talk about live, or he just switched it because he didn’t like how the first one went, is unclear, but so far neither SNL or NBC have addressed the controversy that arose Saturday night.
