Comedian Aries Spears voiced strong opinions about Jerrod Carmichael's criticism of Dave Chappelle's controversial trans-centric comedy special. Spears began by comparing Chappelle to the great jazz musician Miles Davis, labeling him as the best in comedy. Spears also appreciated Carmichael's talent, equating him to Thelonious Monk, but expressed disappointment following Carmichael's public disapproval of Chappelle. Spears emphasized that despite Carmichael's bravery in coming out as gay, his criticism of Chappelle didn’t sit well. According to Spears, Carmichael's objections, spurred by his personal agenda, overlooked the foundational comedic principle that humor transcends individual circumstances. Spears maintained that Chappelle’s handling of sensitive topics, particularly trans issues, was executed with brilliance and criticized Carmichael for putting his personal experiences above the art form's essence.
