Dave Chappelle's controversial new Netflix standup special "The Closer" has a very high audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite calls from activists to remove the piece of content from the streamer's library. The comedian, 48, is being criticized by many in the LGBTQ community for comments he made about transgender people. Despite many like Netflix's own "Dear White People'' showrunner Jaclyn Moore coming out strong against the special, Chappelle himself has been able to laugh off the backlash, even getting a standing ovation during an appearance at the Hollywood Bowl last week.
