On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we talk about one of the all-time greats of comedy, Dave Chappelle. He is most famous for his super-successful sketch comedy show, Chappelle’s Show. He is even more famous for walking away from the show in the middle of season three while $50 million dollars were on the table! He uses comedy as a scalpel and cuts deep, often being controversial, sometimes being offensive. With five Emmy’s, three Grammy’s, and a Marc Twain award under his belt, this small town family-man keeps innovating and shocking the world.
