Rob Schneider recently expressed his belief that cancel culture is on the decline, despite facing backlash at a recent comedy gig. In a candid moment captured by The New York Post, the “Hot Chick” star confidently stated, “It’s over” when questioned about his thoughts on cancel culture.
Schneider also hinted at potential appearances in upcoming sequels to some of his friend Adam Sandler’s iconic films. He showed enthusiasm for possible roles in “Happy Gilmore 2” and even expressed interest in a third installment in another Sandler franchise, suggesting that a “Grown Ups 3” movie could be in the works.
However, Schneider’s optimistic outlook comes in the midst of controversy following a comedy set at a hospital fundraiser in Canada. Attendees reportedly expressed displeasure with his alleged “transphobic, misogynistic, and anti-vax” jokes, with one guest describing the room as filled with groans and discomfort.
The hospital hosting the fundraiser later issued a statement denouncing Schneider’s jokes, emphasizing that his content did not align with their values. While acknowledging the importance of free speech and edgy comedy, the Hospitals of Regina Foundation made it clear that they do not condone or endorse the views expressed during Schneider’s set.
Overall, Rob Schneider’s confidence in the decline of cancel culture seems to be at odds with the recent controversy surrounding his comedy set. As discussions around free speech, political correctness, and the responsibilities of public figures continue to evolve, it remains to be seen how Schneider’s perspective will be received in the broader cultural conversation.
