| Someone hit Chris Redd from behind. |
Since Will Smith's infamous slap on Chris Rock, comedians have been targets of violence.
Trevor Noah, Pete Davidson, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Ariel Elias, D.L. Hughley and now Chris Redd were victims of attacks.
Note, Will Smith is also a comedian.
Chris Redd was sucker punched by an unknown assailant just before he was set to take the stage at a local comedy club in New York.
Redd was taken to a local hospital where he was treated and then released.
The New York Police Department is investigating the incident and hope to catch the suspect.
Chris is an American comedian and actor. He was a cast member of Saturday Night Live from 2017 to 2022. For his work on the show, he won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics in 2018 for co-writing the SNL song "Come Back Barack". He is also known for his roles in Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016), Disjointed (2017–2018), and Kenan (2021–2022).
He was born in St. Louis but moved to Naperville, a suburb of Chicago, at the age of eight.
According to Redd, he had a childhood stutter that he overcame by learning how to rap. He attended Naperville schools, including Gregory Middle School and Neuqua Valley High School, and later attended community college in Elgin, Illinois, where he took his first improvisational theater class.
