>> Greg: NOT THIS AGAIN.
THIS TIME IT’S COMEDIAN
DAVE CHAPPELLE VIOLENTLY
ATTACKED ON STAGE DURING HIS
COMEDY SET.
>> MAKE SOME NOISE FOR HIP-HOP
HISTORY.
>> Greg: THE MAN LUNGING OUT
OF THE COMIC OUT OF NOWHERE.
HE REPORTED THEY HAD A FAKE GUN
WITH A REAL KNIFE STOWED INSIDE.
I’LL LET JOEY EXPLAIN WHAT THAT
LOOKS LIKE.
THANKFULLY CHAPPELLE IS OKAY BUT
THE ASSAILANT WAS NOT LOOKING SO
HOT.
HE LEFT WITH A DANGLING BROKEN
ARM PLUS HE IS CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON.
FELLOW, CHRIS ROCK, OF ALL
PEOPLE, AT THE LIVE SHOW AFTER
THE ATTACK JOKING WAS THAT
WILL SMITH?
I THOUGHT THAT WAS A RIDE.
WHAT ABOUT THE WEAPON?
>> Joey: FROM THE WAY IT WAS
DESCRIBED IT AS IT SOUNDS LIKE A
SWITCHBLADE, LIKE A NOVELTY.
IT LOOKS LIKE A GUN, YOU HIT A
BUTTON AND A KNIFE COMES OUT.
IT’S A WEAPON.
THAT’S WHAT HE CAME SAT HIM,
THAT’S ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY
WEAPON.
I THINK EVERYBODY IS GOING TO
REEVALUATE WHAT SECURITY LOOKS
LIKE AND THEY PROBABLY SHOULD’VE
AFTER THE OSCARS.
IT’S UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE WE GET
TO GO TO THESE IMPROV SCENARIOS
WHERE WE GET TO SIT REAL CLOSE
TO THE STAGE AND HEAR A COMIC
MAKE FUN OF EVERYONE OF US,
INCLUDING THEMSELVES BEAR THAT
MAY GO AWAY WITH STUFF LIKE
THIS.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THIS ONE
PERSON PUT THIS IDEA IN THE
MILLING PEOPLE’S MINDS --
>> Geraldo: OR ALREADY GOT THE
IDEA.
>> Joey: OR DO PEOPLE FEEL
EMPOWERED -- WHAT WILL THE
CHARGES BE LEVIED AGAINST HIM?
IS HE ALREADY BACK ON THE
STREETS?
>> Jeanine: THEY ALMOST
PREDICTED THEY WILL BE COPYCAT
SITUATION.
MY QUESTION IS HOW DID YOU GET A
KNIFE THROUGH SECURITY?
I LIKE THE FACT THAT EVERYBODY
IMMEDIATELY UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT
WAS.
IT’S LIKE THERE IS PRECEDENT, WE
SAW WHAT HAPPENED WITH
WILL SMITH.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE.
WERE GOING TO GO ON STAGE AND
STOP THIS GUY.
HE WAS INJURED, HIS ELBOW IS
GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION AS YOU
CAN SEE.
YOU KNOW IT?
THAT IS WHAT YOU GET.
>> Dana: I’M ACTUALLY REALLY
MAD ON BEHALF OF DAVE CHAPPELLE.
I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE TOO.
THIS ATTACKER IS GOING TO GET
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT WITH A
DEADLY WEAPON.
HOLLYWOOD -- REMEMBER WE DID THE
SHOW HERE AND EVERYBODY IS
DEFENDING WILL SMITH?
I’M LIKE WEIGHT, SO HE IS THE
PRIVILEGE OF CELEBRITY, SO HE
DOESN’T HAVE ANY CONSEQUENCES,
WHICH MAKES THE COPYCAT MUCH
MORE LIKELY.
AND WHAT ALL OF THESE JERKS HAVE
DONE IS BASICALLY YOU WANT TO
WATCH DAVE CHAPPELLE AND THE
LIVE SHOW BEHIND GLASS?
THAT’S WHERE IT’S HEADED.
NOW YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE US
SITUATION WHERE THESE GUYS WHO
GET UP THERE AND PERFORM
WHEREVER THEY MIGHT BE.
THEY HAVE TO BE FEARFUL?
I COULD NEVER DO STAND-UP COMEDY
BUT I IMAGINE THAT ALL OF YOUR
NERVES AND EMOTIONS ARE ALREADY
HEIGHTENED AND YOU HAVE TO ADD
FEAR -- A LOT OF FEAR ON TOP OF
THAT?
I THINK THAT THE DECISION BY THE
OSCARS TO NOT CHARGE -- OR BY
THE POLICE DID NOT CHARGE
WILL SMITH IS A PROBLEM.
>> Geraldo: IT WAS CHRIS
ROCK’S DECISION.
YOU DO STAND UP, GREG.
>> Greg: NO WE DON’T.
>> Geraldo: DON’T YOU DO LIVE
SHOWS?
>> Greg: DO LIVE SHOWS BUT I
DON’T DO STAND UP.
>> Geraldo: DO YOU HAVE
SECURITY?
>> Greg: WHAT IS YOUR
QUESTION?
>> Geraldo: THE QUESTION IS DO
YOU HAVE SECURITY?
>> Greg: THE IRONY HERE IS
CHAPPELLE SAID LET’S HEAR IT FOR
HIP-HOP AND IT WAS A RAPPER WHO
RUSHES THE STAGE.
THAT GUY WROTE A SONG CALLED
CHAPPELLE WHICH HE PUT OUT ON
SPOTIFY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
WHEN HE WAS GOING TO SEE
CHAPPELLE.
THEN THAT SHOW GOT CANCELED
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
HIDING THE REAL KNIFE AND A FAKE
GUN IS VERY INTERESTING TO ME.
USUALLY HIDE THE WEAPON AND
SOMETHING INNOCUOUS LIKE A
CARVED OUT BIBLE.
BUT HIS ARM WAS AND HIM AND HE
PAID FOR IT.
HIS ARM LOOKED LIKE A PRETZEL.
IT JUST SHOWS YOU HOW VULNERABLE
PERFORMERS CAN BE.
THIS IS NOT A NETFLIX SPECIAL.
THEY CONFISCATED PHONES.
IF THAT WEAPON WAS ACTUALLY A
USABLE GUN CHAPPELLE COULD’VE
BEEN KILLED.
AND OF COURSE IF YOU BLAME TRUMP
ON THIS, JUST GREAT.
>> Geraldo: HOW DO YOU BLAME
TRUMP?
>> Greg: A LACK OF CIVILITY.
