Why Dave Chappelle says he made 2 new Netflix specials: 'Money'
The specials are his first in 13 years, and they made their exclusive Netflix debut on Tuesday.
"Dave Chappelle: The Age of Spin" was filmed at The Palladium in Los Angeles one year ago, and "Dave Chappelle: Deep in the Heart of Texas" was filmed at the Moody Theater in Austin two years ago.
Both specials are packed with everything Chappelle is known for, including hilarious social commentary on sensitive topics, like O.J. Simpson and sexual-assault allegations against Bill Cosby.
"We're very, very excited that you put out these comedy specials. Thirteen years: Like a locust, you have returned with these. Why did you decide to put two of them out?" Kimmel asked.
"Money," Chappelle said.
Indeed, he did earn a lot of it: a reported $60 million for the two specials.
