Comedy legend Dave Chappelle is not holding back in this brand new special titled “8:46”.
NETFLIX surprised us by gifting us this performance for free on its YouTube comedy channel late Thursday night.
This special was filmed outdoors on June 6 in Dave’s home area of Yellow Springs, Ohio. Coronavirus-era social distancing guidelines in place for the crowd including spaced out seating and masks.
“8:46” references the length of time Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin held his knee against George Floyd’s neck, which lead to his death. It is also, according to Dave Chappelle, is the time of day he was born, according to his birth certificate.
You can watch the full 25 minute show right here.
Thank you DC for a path to understanding in this very confusing and harsh new world. You are who I chose to be the voice of my generation.
