At first I misread and thought "I Love Punching Down" was the name of the new special.

It’s not. The ‘special’ is called “The dreamer”. The “punching down” comes from this part of the article.

He then said he was going to transition to joking about “handicapped” people instead because “they’re not as organized as the gays. And I love punching down.”

What a prat.

No, it's The Dreamer. The article title states the name then puts a quote from the special after the colon.

Literally the second line:

Maybe it’s time for Dave Chappelle to try some new material.

The comedian’s newest special, “The Dreamer,” debuted on Netflix on Dec. 31
