What Comedian Dave Chappelle Is Known For

Comedians have been a very important part of the entertainment industry. And not just for laughs or the profit; these comedians also reflect the social setting their stage performances revolve in.



Christians, females, and blacks – all suggest power-play parts present in society. Good thing that a single comedic act could keep them within bounds.

In truth, over the decades comics have been successful in changing negative stereotypes – one of whom worthy of acclaim is comedian Dave Chappelle.

Comedian Dave Chapelle is fore-mostly known for being a darn good black comedian. In line with Eddie Murphy, Whoopie Goldberg, Chris Rock, and Bill Cosby,

Care for a laugh – American comedians

Dave Chappelle is among the likes to strike America with serious laughter however cloaking satirical standpoints. His standpoint? – I am a loud-mouth-proud ‘negro’.

Comedian Dave Chapelle must have used the ‘n-’ word hundreds of times. He unflinchingly throws it in his routines as if it were an everyday word like “hello” or “goodbye”.

He’s also very notable and notorious for his “I think every group of black guys should at least have one white guy in it.” Yet although critics argue that this attitude of Chapelle seem only to exploit the stereotype,

Dave Chapelle remains firm in using it to subtly change the view of his audiences’ racial attitudes and ironies, make things a little lighter with racial humor, explaining to Oprah,

“I still think people do have racial hang-ups, but I think one of the reasons I can joke about it is that people are shedding those racial hatreds.” And of course things still work because of the Chappelle trademark.

Comedian Dave Chappelle has succeeded with his regular acting roles and has even done a commercial for both Coke and Pepsi.

Who hasn’t heard his last stand-up special quip, “If you want to know the truth…I can’t even taste the difference. Surprise! All I know is Pepsi paid me most recently so, tastes better.”

Comedian Dave Chappelle is a comedian, and one with a heart. Playing back his interviews, you’ll likely to get who he really is when you hear him admit, “The hardest thing to do is to be true to your self, especially when everybody is watching.

” Comedian Dave Chapelle was supposed to have mental or drug problems while stressing off in Africa awaiting a better situation with the Chapelle Show.

But amidst the social issues, and the critics, Dave Chapelle is still to say, “I like that particular kind of attention. People don’t know what it’s like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you.

” He is an Emmy-nominated comedian, satirist, and actor. And Pryor said that he passed on to Chapelle his torch.


About the Late Comedian Kinison, Sam

About the Late Comedian Kinison, Sam

Aggression, anger, and raunchy humor, along with his wild colorful getups – Comedian Kinison Sam, the former revival-style preacher.



He proclaimed he was a deeply religious guy though religion and Christ were among his favorite stand-up topics. Also talking about marriage, gays, sex,

end to world hunger, breaking up with his girlfriend, comedian Kinison Sam is known for his intense rants punctuated by his trademark primal scream as loud as his on-stage dogma. This guy was vulgar.

However comedian Kinison Sam was indeed once a serious “fire and brimstone” preacher. He preached originally until he was forced to leave the task after he divorced his wife.

On November 1985 he made his breakthrough comedy performance on the November 14, 2006 episode of Late Night with David Letterman where

Letterman introduced him to the audience with “Brace yourself…not kidding…Sam Kinison!” His prodigious appetite for drugs and alcohol are what nourished his performances. Yet he was a “rock and roll” comedian.

Occasionally accompanied by a touring band, comedian Kinison Sam would later have a hit song novelty version of “Wild Thing’” with a video that “played like a who’s who of rock artists”.

One of his albums also includes a straightforward then angry ranting descending version of Elvis Presley’s Are You Lonesome Tonight performed at The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

And with the kind of women he attracted, Sam seemed a romantic at heart in contrast. His sketches mostly expressed a dim view of love on after his string of failed relationships. Another distinction is that Sam was a friend of social critic, satirist, fellow stand-up Bill Hicks.

His hit spontaneous moments though were stand-out. One of which was during his frequent appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show where he made an angry phone-call on-air to Bobcat Goldthwait and embarrassed comedienne Judy Tenuta.

Also as a result of making a (failed) on-air promise to bring to the show the Bon Jovi band with whom Stern was feuding, comedian Kinison Sam made his most notorious stunt in the form of a highly-entertaining on-air feud with Stern.

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried and Stern salvaged an emotional phone-conversation between Stern and Kinison on which both were calling each other “man” and “dude” bringing everyone into stictches and so eventually resulting in Kinison’s apology.

Comedian Kinison Sam also had other reforms. He had been getting himself clean and sober, had took the pulpit for the last time, and had married his girlfriend Malika Souiri until 6-days later,

without his seatbelt on, his white car was hit by a 17-year-old drunk-driver in a Mohave Dessert highway near Needles California. Born December 8, 1953 in Yakima Washington, comedian Kinison, Samuel ‘Sam’ Burl died April 10, 1929 at age 38.

He later admitted to deeply regretting it after the movie garnered so much accomplishment. Comedian Dave Chappell soon became one of the sought-after comedians, mostly playing supporting roles as in the movies Nutty Professor and Con Air,

At an Atlanta Rhythm Section concert, Wilson submitted a demo tape containing his piece to Roy Yaeger, the group’s drummer. The demo tape didn’t seem to get Wilson anywhere in music so he decided to go into comedy.

Organizers at Star Dome Theater remembered Wilson to first appear in their club in 1983. His ranting featured everyday frustrations by a workingman.
