Dave Chappelle Drops the Trailer for His Netflix Stand Up Special [Watch Now]

As previously reported, fans rejoiced last year after Netflix announced that it had secured a deal with Dave Chappelle that would bring three new specials back on air via the streaming giant.

The announcement arrived in November as Chappelle’s first-ever stint as host of Saturday Night Live concluded successfully, where he was joined by Chris Rock and A Tribe Called Quest, delivering a memorable monologue on Donald Trump and the legacy of Barack Obama. He also brought back several “Chappelle’s Show” characters.

One of the specials, The Age of Spin, was filmed at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium in March 2016, while the other, Deep in the Heart of Texas, took place in April 2015 during Austin City Limits Live at Austin’s Moody Theater. Stan Lathan directed both.

Both specials come from the comedian’s  personal collection and were self-financed by Chappelle.

Along with Dave Chappelle, Netflix is also debuting specials from Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Louis C.K. this year.

Chappelle’s last special, Dave Chappelle: For What It’s Worth, arrived in 2004.

Check out the trailer below as A Tribe Called Quest’s “We The People” plays in the background.  Dave’s new standup comedy special premieres on Netflix on March 21.
