CHAPPELLE’S SHOW

Chappelle’s Show was a breath of fresh air during its time. Dave Chapelle’s comedy show, just like previous comedy shows led by stand-up comedians, combined politics and pop culture topics with the kind of racial humor that invited controversy.

The skits were, to some degree, made to offend. The show’s unique take on racial issues was made with humor and wit, and it left many to burst out in hearty guffaws. Despite a few controversies, Chappelle’s Show was the premier program for racial comedy before it ended its run in 2006.
