Dave Chappelle Signs Deal With Netflix For 3 Stand Up Specials

Post by Bandit »

Netflix has announced on Twitter that it will release three new comedy specials from Dave Chappelle. No release dates have yet been revealed. One of the specials is an original set filmed exclusively for Netflix, while the remaining two are from “Chappelle’s personal comedy vault” and were filmed at Austin City Limits and the Hollywood Paladium.

The comedian’s last special, Dave Chappelle: For What It’s Worth, was released in 2004. Chappelle recently mounted a comeback, hosting “Saturday Night Live” and delivering a scathing monologue about Donald Trump as well as resurrecting several of his “Chappelle’s Show” characters in a “The Walking Dead”-themed skit.

I remember hearing about a show he recorded a year or so ago. Happy to hear it's finally coming out.

It was a funny routine that actually proved the point he was making if people reacted this way.

Sometimes the irony in comedy washes over people's heads. I think with his sketches in the past some were controversial but they made a statement like when he played the white supremacist and showed how ignorant and small minded they are.

Judging by the quotes in the article, he didn't say anything homophobic or transphobic at all.

It's how they've spun it to sound that way. Saves never come across as homophobic or transphobic. He was on stage with Chris Rock recently

I wouldn't say trans or homophobic, but it was scientifically inaccurate. Somehow I find that worse.
