The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. the star posted a picture of himself alongside Chappelle, saying he couldn’t “ask for much more” than ending the year “with a real friend and a deep laugh”.

In a follow-up post, Oswalt shared that he posted the photos as he hadn’t met with Chappelle, who he has known “since we’re teens”, in a “long time”.

For all the things he’s helped ME evolve on, I’ll always disagree with where he stands NOW on transgender issues.”
