'If North Korea ever drops a nuclear bomb on this country, I hope it lands in Hartford'

Comic Dave Chappelle told a Chicago audience on Tuesday night that he stopped his show in Hartford last week because the audience was a bunch of "young, white alcoholics."

"I don't want anything bad to happen to the United States," Chappelle said, "but if North Korea ever drops a nuclear bomb on this country, I swear to God I hope it lands in Hartford, Connecticut."

He said he would never return to Hartford, calling the audience evil.

Chappelle had a confrontation with the Hartford crowd after several patrons heckled him during his Aug. 26 set at the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford.
