Further proof that Dave Chappelle is a genius: Could his long-awaited comeback have come at a better time? Fans of all shapes and sizes have been clamoring for Chappelle’s return to the stage for over a decade. Now, some will argue Chappelle stayed in hiding because he didn’t want to come back, but I’d argue he was just waiting for the right time.
Could it possibly be mere coincidence that Chappelle chose the week of the inauguration to make his first national appearance since 2004? Is it only dumb luck that he has three new stand-up specials dropping during the first year of Trump’s presidency?
Going to hit you all with a quick stay woke: Chappelle’s been ready to make his comeback for years, he’s just been waiting for when we needed him most. Knowing that either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton was going to be in The White House, Chappelle knew that now was as good a time as ever to make his epic comeback. With the racial divides at a high, Chappelle’s brand of comedy was needed now more than ever. And he knew it.

While it’s yet to be announced when exactly Chappelle’s Netflix specials will be released, we do know that one of them will be consist of entirely new material, which is probably what Dave was practicing in the above appearance.
I think it’s safe to say Chappelle’s first Netflix special will shatter all sorts of records, and deservedly so. Dude is the world’s greatest living stand-up comic, bar none.
