chappelle’s show – The Comedy Bureau

The proliferation of virtual comedy due to the COVID-19 pandemic would naturally bring about the creation/transition of entire platforms/venues/etc. in order to serve a gradual mass exodus of comedy, for the time being, into the live-streaming sphere. Jill Paiz-Bourque founded RushTix to serve that exact purpose and has done quite well with building and creating a premium comedy live-streaming platform that aims to be a destination for comedy fans and those in dire need of that connection that they would get at any sort of live show (but especially in live comedy). Jill zooms with TCB’s Jake Kroeger to detail RushTix rise to putting on comedy live-streams that boast thousands of attendees as well as get in “hot” takes on Chappelle’s Show being taken off HBO Max, BBC’s new New Comedy Awards, and Boots Riley getting the green light for his new series I’m a Virgo.

Chris Gethard has not only built his career in comedy on his own terms, but Gethard has also built beautiful communities around so much of his work. From his public access days to the cable days of The Chris Gethard Show all the way to his current podcast, Beautiful Anonymous, there is something special about the folks that rally around Gethard and his endeavors. This includes devoted fans as well as other comedians that Chris wants to shine a light on.

Gethard zooms with TCB’s Jake Kroeger for a deep conversation about the crucial importance of community during 2020 in comedy and especially with Beautiful Anonymous, a show uniquely equipped to offer connection at a time in history where we’re more isolated from each other than ever. Also, they dish out “hot” takes on 2021 Grammy nominees for Best Comedy Album and Dave Chappelle not getting paid over streaming of Chappelle’s Show.

Follow Chris at ChrisGeth.com, listen/subscribe to Beautiful Anonymous wherever you get your podcasts, check out Planet Scum here, and get tickets to Chris Gethard’s Live Improvised Special on 12/4 here.

If you just watch this Walking Dead parody with popular Chappelle’s Show characters and the opening monologue with Dave Chappelle doing stand-up, you’re only a few minutes short of a full episode of Chapelle’s Show.

This doesn’t make up for having Trump on, but seeing Chappelle back in old form is still pretty great.

This will probably be the closest we’ll get to a new episode of Chappelle’s Show.

As a relief from the election being over next week perhaps, SNL has landed Dave Chappelle as a host for November 12th with guest A Tribe Called Quest.

This means that Chappelle will probably do some stand-up in the opening host monologue and undoubtedly have a hand in the sketches. This is kind of huge since Dave hasn’t really been as prominently featured on TV like this in over a decade.

Before his big return at Radio CIty Music Hall, Dave Chappelle made a return to TV after years of avoiding the spotlight when he appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last night.

Of course, Dave and Dave talked about Chappelle’s Show and the circumstances of Dave’s leave of absence. Watch Dave clear things up, sort of, here.

The Cover of Prince’s New Single Comes Straight From a Chappelle’s Show Sketch

We can’t help but think that Dave Chappelle or someone close to him had to ask, “Wouldn’t it be great if we do this sketch of Prince and then he puts it on an album cover?”

Well, if that’s true, then that dream just became reality with the cover of Prince’s latest single, “Breakfast Can Wait”.
