Comedians have begun to weigh in on Tuesday night's incident at the Hollywood Bowl, where a man carrying a replica handgun with a knife rushed the stage and attacked headliner Dave Chappelle as the show was winding down.
A 23-year-old named Isaiah Lee was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly tackled Chappelle during the entertainer's set at the Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival. Chappelle was not injured and promptly resumed his performance after the assault occurred. Lee's motivation was not immediately clear.
"Gettin' dangerous out here," comedian George Wallace tweeted along with a photo of his face edited onto an image of the pope riding in his Popemobile. "Got no time for the rope-a-dope, Wallace is gonna ride like the Pope. I'm rollin' The Jokemobile on stage from now on and whatnot."
