Jerry Seinfeld said that he doesn't consider Dave Chapelle a dear friend, adding, "I don't have a close relationship with him. We're friends, and it's not a close relationship."
According to People,the Seinfeld star, who is Jewish, also reacted to Chappelle's comedy which focused on Kanye West's recent antisemitic comments.
"I did think the comedy was well-executed," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "But I think the subject matter calls for a conversation that I don't think I'd want to have in this venue."
The Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee star doubled down on his point when questioned about the monologue made him "uncomfortable."
"It provokes a conversation which hopefully is productive," he said.
Dave Chappelle opened his SNL monologue by unfolding a paper note that reads, "I denounce antisemitism in all its forms. And I stand with my friends in the Jewish community. And that, Kanye, is how you buy yourself some time."
