Dave Chappelle delivered an argument for radical empathy.

He spent his nearly 17-minute monologue not on arch provocation or picking at grievance.

At his worst, he has been unnecessarily stubborn and willfully blind.

But last night , with the catastrophe of the fires as his inciting incident, he didn't shove anyone outside of the tent.

"Do not forget your humanity, and please have empathy for displaced people," he said.

At the end, Chappelle wished the audience good night.

By the time he remembered the job at hand, we'd already cut to commercials.

Lorne Michaels was right. What we really needed was someone we trusted to make sense of the world.
