Performers and Artists getting attacked while delivering their performances is nothing new. Recently, while performing at the Los Angeles comedy festival, Dave Chappelle was attacked by a man who rushed the stage and tackled Chappelle. Actor Jamie Foxx stepped in and came to Chappelle’s rescue while the latter continued to deliver his performance. The UFC color commentator and podcast host, Joe Rogan, expressed his views about the incident on his podcast.

On the podcast, Rogan said, “Jamie Foxx apparently had a cowboy hat, and he jumped on stage to help. Jamie Foxx, with a cowboy hat, jumped on stage to f*** that dude up. That guy was 5 foot. That arm’s broken, by the way. That arm’s f*****.”

While Chappelle’s incident just took place, the incident where actor Will Smith slapped comedian, Chris Rock, is still fresh in the minds of people.

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke, referring to his wife Jada Smith. Following the slap, Rogan had predicted that similar events would occur after this.

Rogan, after the slap, had said that it was not alright for people to go up on the stage and start smacking comedians. The UFC color commentator believed it set a terrible precedent for comedy clubs.
