When Dave Chappelle hosted Saturday Night Live the weekend after the November 8 election, he said he was willing to give newly elected President Trump a chance.

Shortly before his November 12 hosting gig, Chappelle had visited the White House — which was still occupied by Barack Obama — and the experience had left him feeling “hopeful and proud to be an America,” the AV Club reported.

That kind of benevolence was on his mind as he, like everyone else at SNL, struggled to come up with a show that would acknowledge Trump’s historic but stunning win while also delivering entertainment. For his monologue, Chapelle was especially keen on not bumming out the live studio audience.

Unfortunately, his attempt to console viewers had the opposite effect when he said he was prepared to “give (Trump) a chance,” while also demanding that “we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one, too.”

At the time, many who didn’t vote for Trump didn’t feel so optimistic and Chappelle’s comments didn’t go over so well.

With the fallout from the James Comey firing and allegations coming Monday in the Washington Post that Trump shared “highly classified” information with Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting, Chappelle indicated that his generosity toward Trump is no longer on the table.

During a performance at a benefit dinner in New York Monday night, Chappelle said he regretted saying to give Trump a chance, according to a Twitter post by NBC host Willie Geist. In fact, Chappelle said he screwed up, but used an expletive to emphasize that point. “I (expletive)’d up. Sorry,” he told the audience at the Robin Hood gala.

Later in his set, Chappelle criticized Trump’s Muslim ban, while admitting that he was probably preaching to the choir, according to someone else attending the dinner.
