“Anyone out here watching this new show, ‘House of the Dragon,’”Chappelle asked the crowd to raise their hands, mic in hand. “I am the biggest ‘Game of Thrones’ fan, I love their new show. And I got to tell you, I love that they’re including Black characters. But to be honest, the Black characters … they take me out of it a little bit. It’s that blonde hair and old timey accents. It’s a little jarring, where are these people from?”
