So what did he actually say?

“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” Chappelle told an audience of 6,000, according to The New York Times. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.” He then added, “It’s easier to talk here than it is in America.”

Well, that sounds... accurate. Doesn't excuse the other things he's said, but... yea.

Edit: I stand by the first part of my comment. I was not paying enough attention to the second half ("it's easier to talk here..."). That part, not so much.

Did he actually say anything about Kirk or did he chicken out?

I heard it'll cost you an arm and a leg to find out.
