Dave Chappelle has one big regret about his appearance on “Saturday Night Live” last November ― and it wasn’t a punchline.

Just days after Donald Trump was elected president, Chappelle went the magnanimous route during his monologue and asked viewers to give the new leader a chance.

But that was then.

On Monday, the comedian expressed regret for his “SNL” remarks at a charity event in New York City.

Good for you, Dave.

It was probably simmering in the back of his mind for awhile, though.

3. Probably since the Inauguration speech. A lot of independents/moderates were appalled at that
