Chappelle skewered the president elect, dubbing him an “internet troll,” when he guest-hosted “Saturday Night Live” last year.

“I haven’t seen white people this mad since the O.J. [Simpson] verdict,” he quipped at the time.

But the comic ended his monologue, delivered just days after the presidential election, on a more conciliatory note.

“I’m wishing Donald Trump luck, and I’m going to give him a chance,” Chappelle said.

“And we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one, too.”
