Chappelle’s Show
Chappelle’s Show is a sketch comedy series from the United States, crafted by comedians Dave Chappelle and Neal Brennan. Chappelle not only hosted the show but also played roles in numerous sketches. Alongside Chappelle, Brennan and Michele Armour served as the executive producers. The series made its debut on January 22, 2003, on Comedy Central, an American cable network. It successfully aired for two full seasons, with a third season that was cut short.

Despite this, three episodes were pieced together from the existing material and broadcasted between July 9 and July 23, 2006. The show continues to be popular in reruns, airing on Comedy Central and internationally on networks like MTV in Germany, Comedy Central in Brazil, The Comedy Network in Canada, The Comedy Channel and 7mate in Australia, and FX in the UK.
