Chappelle continued describing his unexpectedly high spirits in the aftermath of Kirk's killing during the Friday night performance.

“I feel f----- up saying this. It’s scary being a public speaker. And I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk, got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly, but, I feel better.”
