Dave Chappelle

It's a shame that Comedy Central programmed Chappelle's Show on Wednesday at 10:30PM against Law & Order, but luckily Comedy Central repeats their shows every five hours, so we're able to catch Dave Chappelle even if we miss it for some Lennie Briscoe. The Times has a feature about Chappelle and calls attention to how both blacks and whites might be uncomfortable by skits like a spoof of a 50s sitcom where a white family's last name is "Niggar" or the Racial Draft. But the truth is, they are all funny and incisive. Samuel Jackson, hawking a Sam Adams-like beer? Black Gallagher? It's gold, baby, gold!

Watch Chappelle's Show tonight at 10:30PM on Comedy Central if, for some crazy reason, you're not in a Law & Order mood.

A great Dave Chapelle fansite has video clips of him on the show. Check out Chappelle's filmography and Africana has Dave's thoughts on Dave.

1. yes that was the real Rick James

2. yes, Eddie and Charlie are brothers.

You might remember Charlie as Gusto from CB4, he's also been in a couple of Spike Lee flicks and I think he was in Hollywood Shuffle with Robert Townsend.
