Dave Chappelle

Dave Chappelle has definitely come back to the limelight over the last year, between SNL hostings and new Netflix specials, but with numbers like these, you’d think he never left. Netflix reveals that Chappelle’s dual standup premieres became their most-viewed comedy specials ever.

Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle surprised fans in NOLA.

Chappelle’s Show has been off the air long enough that you might overlook a connection to Key & Peele, though Dave Chappelle certainly popularized the format of comedians having carte blanche over a sketch show. Now, with Chappelle back in the spotlight for his Netflix special, the comedian reveals how Key & Peele “hurts my feelings,” even as he counts himself a fan.

As if Dave Chappelle turning in three new Netflix comedy specials weren’t news enough, you won’t even have to wait until April for the first two. A first teaser sets a March premiere for the apparently-soulful special, keeping Dave’s trend of dramatic intros.

If it seemed at all out of the blue that Dave Chappelle would suddenly take on SNL, there may have been an ulterior motive to reclaiming the spotlight. The former Chappelle’s Show star has now locked down not one, but three Netflix comedy specials, some of which will be released simultaneously.

Dave Chappelle's monologue was heartfelt and hilarious.
