Dave Chappelle, mastermind behind sketch comedy goldmine Chappelle's Show, made a triumphant return to stand-up comedy in 2013.

Early life[edit]

Dave Chappelle's father, William David Chappelle III, worked as a statistician before becoming a professor at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio.[9] His mother, Yvonne K. Chappelle Seon (née Reed),[10] was a professor at Prince George's Community College. Seon also worked for Congo Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba;[11][12] she is also a Unitarian Universalistminister.[13] Chappelle has a stepmother and a stepbrother.[2] His great-grandfather, Bishop William D. Chappelle, served as a president of Allen University.[14]

Chappelle grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, and attended Woodlin Elementary School.[9] His parents were politically active, and family house visitors included Pete Seeger and Johnny Hartman.[2] Hartman predicted Chappelle would be a comedian and, around this time, Chappelle's comic inspiration came from Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. After his parents separated, Chappelle stayed in Washington with his mother while spending summers with his father in Ohio. In 1991, he graduated from Washington's Duke Ellington School of the Arts, where he studied theatre arts.[9]

Career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Dave Chappelle was featured in a montage of random people telling a joke in the first episode of ABC's America's Funniest People, airing on September 13, 1990. Chappelle moved to New York City to pursue a career as a comedian. He performed at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater in front of the infamous 'Amateur Night' audience, but he was booed off stage. Chappelle described the experience as the moment that gave him the courage to continue his show business aspirations.[9] He quickly made a name for himself on the New York comedy circuit, even performing in the city's parks.[citation needed] In 1992, he won critical and popular acclaim for his television appearance in Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam on HBO. It was his appearance on this show that allowed his popularity to truly begin rising, eventually allowing him to become a regular guest on late-night television shows such as Politically Incorrect, The Late Show With David Letterman, The Howard Stern Show, and Late Night With Conan O'Brien. Whoopi Goldberg nicknamed him 'The Kid'.[2] At 19, he made his film debut as 'Ahchoo' in Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights. He also appeared on Star Search three times but lost to competing comedian Lester Barrie; Chappelle later joked about the irony of his ultimately becoming more successful than Barrie. The same year, Chappelle was offered the role of Benjamin Buford 'Bubba' Blue in Forrest Gump. Concerned the character was demeaning and the movie would bomb, he turned down the part.[15][16] He parodied the film in the 1997 short Bowl of Pork, where a dim-witted black man is responsible for the Rodney King beating, the LA riots and OJ Simpson being accused of murder.[17] Chappelle played another supporting role in an early Doug Liman film, Getting In in 1994.[18] At age 19, he was the opening act for R&B soul singer Aretha Franklin.[19] Early in his career, Chappelle was called to perform after comedy vet Chris Thomas, who was so good that Dave, though he had been warned, totally bombed.[20]

He attracted the attention of TV network executives and developed numerous pilots but none were picked up for development into a series.[9][21] In 1995, he made a guest appearance on an episode of ABC's popular sitcomHome Improvement. The storyline had Chappelle and real-life friend and comedian Jim Breuer ask Tim Taylor for advice on their girlfriends.[22] The characters' single outing in the episode proved so popular that ABC decided to give them their own spin-off sitcom titled Buddies. However, after taping a pilot episode, Jim Breuer was fired and replaced with actor Christopher Gartin. Buddies premiered in March 1996 to disappointing ratings and the show was canceled after only five episodes out of 13 that had been produced.

After the failure of Buddies, Chappelle starred in another pilot. According to Chappelle, the network was uncomfortable with the African-American cast and wanted white actors added.[23] Chappelle resisted and subsequently accused the network of racism. Shortly afterwards, Chappelle's father died and returning to Ohio, he considered leaving the entertainment business.[9][21]

He later appeared as a nightclub comedian ('women be shopping!') in the 1996 comedy The Nutty Professor starring Eddie Murphy, one of his major comedic influences. The movie grossed nearly $129 million on a budget of $54 million.[24] He had a minor role in 1997's Con Air which made $26 million after production costs.[25] At the beginning of 1998, he did a stand-up performance for HBO Comedy Half-Hour. That same year, he appeared in 'Pilots and Pens Lost,' a 1998 episode of The Larry Sanders Show's sixth season, in which he and the executives of the show's unnamed television network satirized the treatment that scriptwriters and show creators were subjected to, as well as the executives' knee-jerk tendencies toward racial stereotypes.[26]

He and Neal Brennan co-wrote the 1998 cultstoner filmHalf Baked, Chappelle's first starring role, about a group of marijuana-smoking friends trying to get their other friend out of jail. It made money at the box office and remains a classic so-called 'stoner' film, a genre that includes the 'Cheech and Chong' films as well as more recent fare like Judd Apatow's Pineapple Express.[27][28] In December 1998, Chappelle appeared as Tom Hanks' character's friend and confidant in You've Got Mail. The $65 million movie made $115 million at the box office.[29] In 1999, he appeared in the Martin Lawrence film Blue Streak, which made $117 million at the box office.[30]

In 2000, Chappelle recorded his first hour-long HBO special, Dave Chappelle: Killin' Them Softly, in Washington, D.C. He followed this up with an appearance as 'Conspiracy Brother' in the 2002 racial satire Undercover Brother.[31]

2003–2006: Chappelle's Show[edit]

Chappelle in 2003

In 2003, Chappelle debuted his own weekly sketch comedy show on Comedy Central called Chappelle's Show. The show parodied many aspects of American culture, including racial stereotypes, politics and pop culture. Along with comedy skits, the show also featured musical performances by mostly hip-hop and soul artists. He promoted the work of other black comedians as well, most notably Paul Mooney and the late Charlie Murphy.[32]

Due to the show's popularity, Comedy Central's new parent company Viacom[2] reportedly offered Chappelle a $55 million contract (giving Chappelle a share of DVD sales) to continue production of Chappelle's Show for two more years, while allowing him to do side projects. Chappelle has said that sketches are not his favorite form of comedy,[2] and that the show's format was similar to short films.

In June 2004, based on the popularity of the 'Rick James' sketch, it was announced that Chappelle was in talks to portray James in a biopic from Paramount Pictures, also owned by Viacom.[33] James' estate disagreed with the proposed comical tone of the film and put a halt to the talks.[34]

That same month, Chappelle recorded his second comedy special, this time airing on Showtime, Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth, at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium, where Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Robin Williams had performed.

Season 3 problems[edit]

In a June 2004 stand-up performance in Sacramento, California, Chappelle walked off the stage after berating his audience for constantly shouting 'I'm Rick James, bitch!' which had become a catchphrase from his popular 'Rick James' sketch. After a few minutes, Chappelle returned and resumed by saying, 'The show is ruining my life.' He stated that he disliked working '20 hours a day' and that the popularity of the show was making it difficult for him to continue his stand-up career, which was 'the most important thing' to him. He told the audience:

You know why my show is good? Because the network officials say you're not smart enough to get what I'm doing, and every day I fight for you. I tell them how smart you are. Turns out, I was wrong. You people are stupid.[35]

Dave Chappelle New Special

Season 3 was scheduled to begin airing on May 31, 2005, but earlier in May, Chappelle stunned fans and the entertainment industry when he abruptly left during production and took a trip to South Africa.[2] Chappelle said that he was unhappy with the direction the show had taken, and expressed in an interview with Time his need for reflection in the face of tremendous stress:

Coming here, I don't have the distractions of fame. It quiets the ego down. I'm interested in the kind of person I've got to become. I want to be well-rounded and the industry is a place of extremes. I want to be well-balanced. I've got to check my intentions, man.[36]

Immediately following Chappelle's departure, tabloids speculated that Chappelle's exit was driven by drug addiction or a mental problem, rather than the ethical and professional concerns that Chappelle had articulated.[36]

Chappelle's decision to quit the show meant walking away from his $50 million contract with Comedy Central,[32] and a rift with longtime collaborator Neal Brennan.[2]

Dave Chappelle's Block Party[edit]

The Broken Angel House in Brooklyn on May 16, 2007, which was the site of the documentary Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2005)

Chappelle was the star and a producer of the Michel Gondry-directed documentary Dave Chappelle's Block Party, which chronicles his hosting a free concert in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn on September 18, 2004.[2] Several musical artists, including Kanye West, The Roots, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Dead Prez and Jill Scott, are featured in the movie both performing in the concert and in conversation off-stage; Chappelle brought Yellow Springs residents to Brooklyn at his own expense.[2] Another highlight of the event was the temporary reunion of 1990s hip-hop group The Fugees.[37]

Chappelle toured several cities in February and March 2006 to promote the film under the name 'Block Party All-Stars Featuring Dave Chappelle'. Universal Pictures' genre division, Rogue Pictures, released the film in the U.S. on March 3, 2006. It was a success, grossing a total of $11.7 million on a $3 million budget.[38]

2005–2013: Infrequent stand-up and TV appearances[edit]

In June 2005, Chappelle performed impromptu stand-up shows in Los Angeles,[13][39][40] then went on a tour that began in Newport, Kentucky, not far from his Ohio home.[41] He made a surprise appearance on HBO's Def Poetry, where he performed two poems, titled 'Fuck Ashton Kutcher' and 'How I Got the Lead on Jeopardy!'[42]

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired on February 3, 2006, Chappelle explained his reasons for quitting Chappelle's Show.[43] He also expressed his contempt for the entertainment industry's tone-deafness regarding black entertainers and audiences:

When I see that they put every black man in the movies in a dress at some point in their career, I start connecting the dots.[44][45]

Chappelle was interviewed for Inside the Actors Studio on December 18, 2005, at Pace University's Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts. The show premiered on February 12, 2006.[9] Four days earlier, he had introduced the musical tribute to Sly Stone at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards.[2]

Chappelle said on Inside the Actors Studio that the death of his father seven years prior influenced his decision to go to South Africa. By throwing himself into his work, he had not taken a chance to mourn his father's death. He also said the rumors that he was in drug or psychiatric treatment only persuaded him to stay in South Africa.[9] He said,

Dave Chappelle Tour

I would go to work on the show and I felt awful every day, that's not the way it was. .. I felt like some kind of prostitute or something. If I feel so bad, why keep on showing up to this place? I'm going to Africa. The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching.[9]

Chappelle said that he felt some of his sketches were 'socially irresponsible'.[44][46] He singled out the 'pixie sketch' in which pixies appear to people and encourage them to reinforce stereotypes of their races. In the sketch, Chappelle is wearing blackface and is dressed as a character in a minstrel show.[47] According to Chappelle, during the filming of the sketch, a white crew member was laughing in a way that made him feel uncomfortable and made him question himself.[44][46] Chappelle said, 'It was the first time I felt that someone was not laughing with me but laughing at me.'[44]

During this time, Chappelle did not rule out returning to Chappelle's Show to 'finish what we started,' but promised that he would not return without changes to the production, such as a better working environment. He wanted to donate half of the DVD sales to charity.[44] Chappelle expressed disdain at the possibility of his material from the unfinished third season being aired, saying that to do so would be 'a bully move,' and that he would not return to the show if Comedy Central were to air the unfinished material.[46] On July 9, 2006, Comedy Central aired the first episode of Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes. After the DVD release, Chappelle was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CNN and reiterated he would not return to Chappelle's Show. An uncensored DVD release of the episodes was made available on July 25.

The show still plays in syndication on several television networks, despite the relatively small number of episodes, compared to most American syndicated television programs.[48]

Chappelle has been known to make impromptu and unannounced appearances at comedy venues,[49] and continues to do so following his post–Chappelle's Show return to standup.[50]

In April 2007, Chappelle set a stand-up endurance record at the Laugh Factory Sunset Strip comedy club, beating comedian Dane Cook's record of three hours and 50 minutes. In December of the same year, Chappelle broke his own record with a time of six hours and 12 minutes. Cook reclaimed the record in January 2008, with a time of seven hours.[51] On November 19, 2009 Chappelle performed at the Laugh Factory again, where it was speculated that he would attempt to take back the record. However, he was disqualified according to the club owner after he left the stage five hours into his routine.[52]

Chappelle again appeared on Inside the Actors Studio and, in celebration of the show's 200th episode, he interviewed the show's usual host, James Lipton. The episode aired on November 11, 2008. He appeared again on Inside the Actors Studio in 2013, for its 250th episode.

In August 2011, Chappelle appeared at Comedy Jam in San Francisco.[53]

2013–2017: Career comeback[edit]

In August 2013, Chappelle returned to full-time touring stand-up,[54] as a headliner[55] when he was featured during the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity festival. Sponsored by Funny or Die, Chappelle co-headlined with comedy act Flight of the Conchords.[56]

During a stop in Hartford, Chappelle walked off the stage due to heckling from the crowd that lasted throughout his entire performance. The heckling was so raucous that it drowned out Chappelle's voice over the PA system and included chants of 'White Power', a line used in a Chappelle's Show episode that was viewed as wildly inappropriate and out-of-context by other audience members who later wrote about the event.[57][58] A few days later, Chappelle stopped in Chicago for a performance. The comedy website ComedyHype.com acquired and released audio of him on stage responding to the heckling. Chappelle referenced the Hartford incident, stating that 'young, white, alcoholic[s]' should be blamed for the prior incident, that he hoped North Korea would bomb Hartford, that in the future he would not stop in Hartford for gas, and finally summarizing his feelings on the situation by saying, 'Fuck Hartford!'[59] However, in August 2014 Chappelle returned to Hartford for a surprise appearance at the 2014 Oddball Festival and received multiple standing ovations during his set.[60]

In June 2014, Chappelle made his first major New York City appearance in eleven years, performing ten nights at Radio City Music Hall.[32] Chappelle promoted the dates by appearing on The Today Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Show with David Letterman.

In 2015, Chappelle appeared in the Spike Lee film Chi-Raq, his first film role in 13 years.[61]

On November 12, 2016, Chappelle made his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live the weekend of Donald Trump winning the 2016 Presidential Election. The show also featured A Tribe Called Quest as the musical guest.[62] In his opening monologue, Chappelle tackled Trump and the election head on. He ended his monologue by stating, 'I’m wishing Donald Trump luck, and I’m going to give him a chance, and we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one too.'[63] His performance on SNL received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike. At the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards, he received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his guest appearance on Saturday Night Live.[6] He donated the Emmy to his former high school while filming an episode of Jerry Seinfeld'sNetflix series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (Season 10, Episode 2: 'Nobody Says, “I Wish I Had A Camera”').[64]

On November 21, 2016, Netflix announced that they would be releasing three new stand-up comedy specials from Chappelle in 2017, with Chappelle being paid $20 million per special.[65][66][67] The first two specials were released on Netflix on March 21, 2017, which hail directly from Chappelle's personal comedy vault. These two specials were filmed at Austin City Limits Live in April 2015[68] and at the Hollywood Palladium in March 2016.[69] The specials marked the comedian's first concert specials released in 12 years, and proved to be an immediate success as Netflix announced a month later that they were the most viewed comedy specials in Netflix's history.[70][71]

The third special, Equanimity, was filmed in September 2017 at the Warner Theater in Washington, D.C., and then on November 20, 2017, Chappelle filmed a fourth special, The Bird Revelation, at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles.[72] On December 22, 2017, Netflix announced the expansion of the deal to include The Bird Revelation, which was released with Equanimity on December 31.[72]

2018–present: Continued success[edit]

In January 2018 at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, Chappelle received a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for his first two 2017 specials The Age of Spin & Deep in the Heart of Texas.[73]

In September 2018, Chappelle's Equanimity special received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded).[74]

In October 2018, Chappelle returned to the big screen as 'Noodles', Jackson Maine's best friend and retired musician in Bradley Cooper's directorial debut, a remake of A Star Is Born. The film was a massive critical and commercial success. He was nominated along with the cast for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Cast in a Motion Picture.[75]

In February 2019, Dave Chappelle was nominated for and won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for Equanimity and Bird Revelation.[76]

In 2018, standup comedians Chappelle and Jon Stewart joined forces for a duo comedy tour.[77] As of 2019, they are still touring together.[78] He has also collaborated with Aziz Ansari for three standup shows in Austin, Texas at the Paramount Theater.

In 2019, Chappelle was chosen to receive the annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor presented by The Kennedy Center. President of the Kennedy Center, Deborah Ritter, stated 'Dave is the embodiment of Mark Twain's observation that 'against the assault of humor, nothing can stand'.. and for three decades, Dave has challenged us to see hot-button issues from his entirely original yet relatable experience.' The set of people honoring Chappelle Includes, Jon Stewart, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Hart, Trevor Noah, John Legend, and Chrissy Teigen. The Prize will be awarded at the Kennedy Center gala on October 27, 2019. The ceremony will be broadcast on PBS January 6, 2020.

On August 26, 2019, Chappelle's fifth Netflix special, Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones, was released.[79] The special garnered controversy,[80][81] receiving backlash for jokes about abuse allegations against singers Michael Jackson and R. Kelly,[82][83][84] as well as for jokes about the LGBT community, among other topics.[85][86] It received mostly negative reviews from critics, though audience reception was far more positive with a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.[87][88]

Influences[edit]

In his interview with Inside the Actors Studio host James Lipton, he said that his biggest influences in comedy are Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Paul Mooney, and Mel Blanc.[9]

When asked about his earliest influence on comedy, Chappelle said:

You know who was a big influence on me that is really weird is Bugs Bunny, that's just weird. If you watch a lot of the stuff I do, you can almost see the influence in it, because these animators would animate these performances that were off the hook, and the guy that, the guy that did the voices was Mel Blanc. This guy was like some kind of savant or genius or something. But they had some kind of real big comedic influence on me, like I liked those cartoons, I think that was my first real big comedy influence, was a rabbit.[89]

When asked about the biggest influence on him in comedy, Chappelle spoke of Richard Pryor:

What a precedent he set. Not just as a comic, but as a dude. The fact that someone was able to open themselves wide-open like that. It's so hard to talk in front of people or to open yourself up to your closest friends. But to open yourself up for everybody: I freebase, I beat my women, I shot my car. And nobody's mad at Richard for that. They understand. Somehow they just understand. And when I was going through this thing this year, that is the example I would think to myself that gave me the courage to just go back on the stage.[90]

Legacy[edit]

Chappelle has been praised by fellow comedians for his work. Katt Williams and Kevin Hart have both said that they consider Chappelle to be the greatest stand-up comedian of all time.[91][92][93]

In 2009, his show was the subject of a book of critical essays, The Comedy of Dave Chappelle, edited by University of Maryland doctoral student K. A. Wisniewski.[48] His work, as well as that of Margaret Cho, was also the subject of a book by Canadian dramaturg Elizabeth Ludwig, American Stand-Up and Sketch Comedy, that was published at the end of 2010.[94] A monograph published by the University of Gothenburg titled Representations of Ethnicity in Stand-up comedy: A Study of the Comedy of Dave Chappelle examined the racial significance of language used in Chappelle's routines.[95]

Chappelle's abrupt departure from his show in 2005 continues to be a focus of interviews and profiles of Chappelle and of Chappelle's own comedy.[96][97][98] In Bird Revelation, Chappelle draws an analogy between his departure and the book Pimp, the memoir of Iceberg Slim. One interpretation of this analogy is that Chappelle was placed in the position of a pawn serving entertainment executives to deliver irresponsible racial humor to white audiences, and the executives manipulated him into staying at Chappelle's Show through contractual maneuvers and deception.[99][100] The comparison to prostitution here perhaps serves as an indication of Chappelle's desire to gain more control and autonomy over his comedy and delivering his perspective on race.

In April 2013, Charlie Sheen said on Conan O'Brien's talk show that in 2011 he had laughed so hard while watching a Chappelle's Show episode that he ruptured a hernia, and had to go to the hospital.[101]

In August 2013, Chappelle's impersonation of Prince from Chappelle's Show was selected by the singer as the cover art for his single 'Breakfast Can Wait'.[102]

Personal life[edit]

Chappelle married Elaine Mendoza Erfe in 2001.[2] They live with their two sons, Sulayman[47][103] and Ibrahim[104] and daughter, Sanaa, on a 65-acre (26 ha) farm[9][21] near Yellow Springs, Ohio.[41] He also owned several houses in Xenia, Ohio. Chappelle told Yellow Springs' residents in September 2006, 'Turns out you don't need $50 million to live around these parts, just a nice smile and a kind way about you. You guys are the best neighbors ever. That's why I came back and that's why I'm staying.'[105]

Chappelle converted to Islam in 1998. He told Time in May 2005, 'I don't normally talk about my religion publicly because I don't want people to associate me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I believe it is beautiful if you learn it the right way.'[36][106] Chappelle appears in a video explaining the religious backstory of the Well of Zamzam in Mecca.[107]

Charity[edit]

In 2004, he donated his time to Seeds of Peace International Camp, a camp located in Otisfield, Maine, which brings together young leaders from communities in conflict.[108]He also organized the Gem City Shine Charity event in August 2019 that included artists like Stevie Wonder, Kanye West's Sunday Service, Chance the Rapper, Talib Kweli, Teyana Taylor, Thundercat, and Ty Dolla $ign in Dayton, Ohio.

Abstract: This study has two main aims: (1) to look at, and analyze, how language is used in stand-up comedy in order to portray characters of different ethnicity, and (2) to look at how these characters are portrayed and what images of these ethnic groups are conveyed to the audience. The main results are that the linguistic features typically associated with the ethnic group in question are strengthened and exaggerated in order for the viewers to determine the characters’ ethnic origin more easily, and that the characters are often displayed as racial stereotypes. In this particular essay two stand-up shows by comedian Dave Chappelle are examined.
