Comedian Matt Rife Campaigns to Write for Dave Chappelle on ‘SNL’

Comedian Matt Rife is actually a stone’s discard from ‘SNL’ simply in case its authors boycott upcoming host Dave Chappelle … and states he’d be honored to take the gig.

Matt was standing outdoors 30 Rock in NEW YORK CITY Thursday with his buddy and fellow comedian Alex “Fonzi” Cureau — they were holding up indications checking out “Will Write For Dave.”

Dave’s set to host ‘SNL’ this weekend for the very first time given that his questionable 2021 Netflix unique “The Closer” … which his critics have ripped as transphobic.

While all ‘SNL’ cast members are dealing with Dave, a few of the authors are boycotting … according to Page Six. As we reported, Chappelle’s camp states they have actually seen no evidence of that all week.

But, simply in case, Matt and Alex are at the all set … and state they’re not attempting to make any declarations about transphobia. Their message is far more basic — “If you don’t want your job I will take it.”

Of course, not everybody sees it that method … Matt and Alex were really faced by a minimum of a single person who had an issue with their public plea to deal with Dave.

Bottom line for Matt — who notoriously dated Kate Beckinsale back in 2017 — Dave’s the funny G.O.A.T., so he’s not losing out if there’s a chance at composing his ‘SNL’ sketches.
