Both comedians Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock have had an eventful year. Chris Rock also hosted an extensive tour called the Ego Death World tour. In March 2022 during the Academy Awards, Chris Rock was slapped by actor Will Smith for making fun of his wife Jada Smith.

Following the slapping incident, Dave Chappelle backed Chris Rock during a show in Liverpool and said that Will Smith showed who he was. He said:

“A lot of people forget who Will Smith is. Then 10 minutes before he was about to get the biggest award… he acted like he was back in Philadelphia.”

Dave Chappelle had his own controversial incidents, facing backlash for his transphobic jokes and for inviting Elon Musk on stage during a show in December. Earlier in May 2022, Chappelle was attacked by a man during his Netflix is a Joke fest. Isaiah Lee, the man, told the New York Post that he found the show's content triggering. Lee identified as bisexual and told the Post that maybe Chappelle should consider running his material by people it could affect.

Despite the controversies, Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle have consistently been headlining tours since last year. They performed a set of shows in the UK last September, followed by shows in the US in December.
