Close Up | When Chappelle says he doesn’t give a f***, he means it. Only a guy who has in the past walked away from a $50 million deal because a joke in the show offended him can say the things that Chappelle does. Your thoughts on Chappelle's recent show
In his latest special The Closer, which premiered on Netflix this week, iconic comedian Dave Chappelle tells a shocking story of what social media can do to overly sensitive individuals.
In one of their off-stage bonding sessions, he established that she was actually very funny. She had even tried her hand at stand-up comedy. She found herself a seat right upfront and started laughing as if she had no care in the world, as if she hadn’t embarrassed herself just a few minutes previously.After the show, Chappelle went backstage with her. They had a roaring time, drinking and swopping lines.
The special was recorded in Detroit, Michigan, and serves as the final offering in Chappelle’s $60 million Netflix deal. In the special, Chappelle says that he wishes to live long enough to personally give the money to Dorman’s daughter when she turns 21. He would tell her: There are things only Chappelle can get away with; things other mortals cannot say without provoking public opprobrium that might end their careers.
David Johns, the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, called for The Closer to be removed from Netflix.
