Dave Chappelle: What's in a Name? 2022
Much of What’s In A Name? is a touching (yet not comedic) story about Chappelle’s start as a comic, but it lost all its charm once he called The Closer a ‘masterpiece’ (it is in fact one of the least funny comedy specials I have ever had the displeasure of watching) and insisted that harmful hate speech should simply be seen as a ‘difference in opinion’ protected under free speech.
It once again feeds into this narrative that comedians are philosophers…
