Dave’s comedy evolved so much from what he was on his first appearance, he cuts bits instead of adding to them, it’s incredible

[@kidsavvy660]

Finding a Dave clip you never seen before is a gold mine.

[@blisshendrix146]

This is absolutely beautiful in every sense to watch his growth. You can tell when Whoopi interviewed him in 2003 he had finally transcended the game!

[@alvarezsocal1317]

Thank you for making this Wonderful Video .

[@aok1425]

Dave does a good job of exposing uncomfortable racial truths, but making it digestible through humor. What a great teacher 👏.

[@vincentconti3633]

Nah...he is playing on myths that all enlightened people know are just that....his fans are not fools..

[@SadfoxGuyver]

@@vincentconti3633 wanted to let you know I gave your comment a thumbs down. I wish I had another set of hands . So I could give more thumbs down.

@@vincentconti3633 Ummm I’ve lived these “myths” so no. He isn’t. Grow up and realize the world is more cruel than that comfy little cushion you’re mommy got you while she spoon fed you from your silver plate. The gall of some of you who think just because they haven’t experienced things means “it must not be true”. Once again grow. Up.

@@vincentconti3633 What myths? Have you not seen the news for the past few months? It confirms everything that some people had been saying for decades.

@Brandon Marshall I noticed that too. He is amazing, these are delicate subjects and he can just dance around them making important points that are funny at the same time. Comedy guru.

The Ashton family killed it.

Yeah, show MORE of Mrs Ashton

That wasn’t Mrs Ashton - he was juggling Dolly Parton!

I used to love Letterman and I remember when Chappelle was a guest the first time. Good times. I recorded them and would crack them out every time I had a beer.

[@KSoloLoso]

Dave Letterman and Dave Chappelle. Legends.

[@joanneweiss3864]

I'm so glad this genius showed up on my feed tonight, when I've had such anxiety watching election coverage. Perfect way to reverse course - relax & laugh to sleep! Glad to see this right after the Letterman show. This guy is the best of everything!

The Malcolm x speech is one of the funniest jokes from Dave had me ☠️

[@chaserofthelight1737]

I had a Dave Chappelle marathon while I was cleaning my kitchen, just finished. I’d recommend that to all of you, I laughed the entire time. I truly believe Dave is the funniest guy alive. Thank you Dave, it’s been a pleasure knowing you fellow human. I’m so glad you came back. ✨🌹✨❤️‍🔥✨🌹✨

[@leonardowolff2177]

Thank you very much for posting this. It is amazing to see chapelle at age age 20.

[@rha101]

The last interview really shows Letterman's nuanced skill as an interviewer with his ability as host to draw out so much insight from his guest, as well as the graciousness and intelligence of Chappelle.

[@DS-yz1qs]

Chapelle would only let Dave get away with asking him those questions. He respects him too much.

[@mathewsloane2169]

Thanks for putting this together, man. Truly amazing watching Dave's career grow (and Dave's too!)

Thanks Dave for bringing us Dave & so many other amazing comics that might not have ever been seen. Both of these Dave's kick ass!!

I love it when Dave has that look on his face where he is clearly amused.

Thanks for the compilation. Its quite interesting and cool at the same time, seeing DC new on the scene, and both he and DL being awkward between each other, with the back and forth, to moving forward and seeing how relaxed DC is, and how cordial DL is to him. It's like night and day. I admire DC for sticking to his game all those years. And as well DL giving him time, respect, and his props, as time went on with seeing DC working on his craft diligently.

[@shannonblanchard8195]

Ohhhh, my heart❤legend!!! Loved Dave and Whoopi!

Jeepers! He was already great, age 20! He'll be around for a long time. Lucky us!

He is the best comedian of all time. Hes funny even when hes not trying to be. His choice of words are the same in my head but when he says it, its hysterical. God Bless Dave Chappelle

[@carlmarks8170]

I really like him - everyone likes him - but there have been a few other comedians who have made me laugh harder and more consistently than Chappelle.

[@derrickboomer8531]

@@carlmarks8170 what is the true measure of comedy How intuitive or creative the joke is Or how much it makes the audience laugh?

LOL no, he's ok but not the best ever... hell not even top 5, come on now

In 1996, I lived in Coconut Grove, Florida. One wee hour of night, my housemate woke me up and told me a comedian named Dave Chapelle who just performed at the Improv Club is gonna swing by for a night cap. I was so tired I fell back to sleep. To this day, I wished I had met him.
