Show Notes

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we talk about one of the all-time greats of comedy, Dave Chappelle. He is most famous for his super-successful sketch comedy show, Chappelle’s Show. He is even more famous for walking away from the show in the middle of season three while $50 million dollars were on the table! He uses comedy as a scalpel and cuts deep, often being controversial, sometimes being offensive. With five Emmy’s, three Grammy’s, and a Marc Twain award under his belt, this small town family-man keeps innovating and shocking the world.   Visit Our Sources: https://www.biography.com/performer/dave-chappelle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Chappelle https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/73863/15-fun-facts-about-chappelles-show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwyeYmXjD1A https://www.looper.com/266269/the-real-reason-dave-chappelle-quit-his-sketch-show/ Dave Chappelle says fan boycott of his show worked, agrees to terms with Comedy Central - mlive.com
