Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival has been in the news for many reasons. But no one can deny that the event has some of the best comedians.

Why Did David Letterman Want People to “Hit” Him at the Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival?

Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival will surely go down in history. Not just for its
grandeur but also for a lot of things that took place at the event. When Netflix
first announced the comedic event back in 2018, they must not have had any idea
of how big the event would actually grow to be. But as the pandemic happened.
And finally, the week-long event of laughter was able to take place, and the
whole world was amazed by it.

But the event had its fair share of incidents that the world shall remember for
years to come. However, comedians being comedians, decided not to take it
seriously but rather joke about it. Let us take a look at one of the funniest
jokes about the Dave Chappelle incident

DAVID LETTERMAN AT NETFLIX IS A JOKE: THE FESTIVAL

Saturday,

In the footage, the 75-year-old actor can be seen fixing his glasses before
being frightened and sprinting to the stage’s side.   “I’m sorry – thought I saw
a guy coming up here,” Letterman joked after regaining his composure.

“It’s just a waiter?” he remarked, seeming to be listening to someone in the
crowd. He added, “It’s just been a little alarming — you know what I mean?”

“In deference to the people coming out here,” Letterman said, “let me just say
this: When the show is finished, I will be in the lobby, and if anybody wants to
come out and beat me up, by God, come on out.”

“How many of you would like to hit me right now?” he questioned, pretending to
check for a show of hands.
