Dave Chappelle drops Netflix special, ‘Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable…’
Dave Chappelle surprised fans Friday night with a new Netflix stand-up special, Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable…, filmed in Washington, D.C., and released without warning following the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight.
Taking the stage in a camo jacket featuring Colin Kaepernick’s name and number, Chappelle told the crowd, “We’ve got a lot to talk about,” explaining he returned home after Trump deployed the National Guard to the city.
“They’re trying to take the chocolate out of Chocolate City… I’ve got to go home while it’s still a city I remember,” he said.
Chappelle also addressed backlash over his appearance at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, saying, “I’ve been getting a lot of grief,” before singling out Bill Maher: “I’ve never said this publicly but fuck that guy. I’m so fucking tired of his little smug, cracker-ass commentary.”
“I don’t feel guilty at all,” Chappelle said, adding that critics accused him of betraying his principles. He reiterated, “it’s easier to talk in Saudi Arabia for me than it is in America,” and joked, “transgender jokes went over very well in Saudi Arabia.”
The comedian later discussed reports surrounding Charlie Kirk, saying, “if you talk for a living and see Charlie Kirk get murdered that way, I’m gonna be honest, I was shook,” adding, “I was at home like, ‘Oh no! I’m dead as fried chicken.’”
Chappelle also reflected on Sean Combs’ sentencing, noting, “He saved my life,” and said of Cassie, “God bless her… what she went through was terrible.”
He closed by telling the crowd, “we are a community and we will stay sane together.”
Strictly Come Dancing is facing a big shake-up after beloved hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped away from the show.
With the programme looking for fresh energy, reports say that comedian and actress Miranda Hart is in talks to join.
Fans might remember Miranda from her hit sitcom and from cheering on her friend Sarah Hadland during last year’s series.
Sources, however, said that she could bring her funny, warm personality to the show, talking to the celebs, dancers and judges, helping to keep the programme lively and entertaining.
Even though Miranda spent recent years enjoying a quieter life away from the spotlight, she has never lost her connection to television.
BBC bosses apparently see her humour as a perfect fit for the role, bringing the kind of lightness and charm that viewers loved in the past.
While nothing is confirmed yet, insiders are excited about the possibility.
If it happens, it could mark a new chapter for Strictly Come Dancing, mixing familiar comedy with the glitz and glamour of the dance floor.
Fans are waiting to see if Miranda’s easygoing style will breathe new life into the show.
Trevor Oakes, guitarist who helped make Showaddywaddy famous all over the world, has died at the age of 79 after fighting bravely with a long illness.
The icon passed away peacefully on February 18, leaving all of his fans and friends heartbroken.
Trevor’s former bandmate Dave Bartram paid a touching tribute for him, calling him “a unique character and a dedicated professional” who played a huge part in the band’s success.
Trevor was there from the very start, helping the band bring back songs from the 1950s and 1960s for a new generation.
Showaddywaddy, however, then got Top 10 hits, including the number one song Under the Moon of Love in 1976.
Dave remembered him as not just a talented musician but also a loving family man with a cheeky sense of humour, saying that he will be “sadly missed by all those dear to him.”
Though Trevor stepped away from performing in 2009 due to health problems, his spirit and influence stayed with the band, which continues to tour today under Dave’s management.
Only one original member remains on stage but Trevor’s energy and love for music live on in every show.
Fans, moreover, will always remember him for the joy, laughter and music he shared over years.
