22nd Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor celebrating: Dave Chappelle

Best part of this are the old clips of Dave. And not even his best clips. Otherwise it was just a flow of unfunny so-called entertainers I've never heard of acting foolish. Some truly horrendous live music that made me mute my TV. The kind of music people who can't sing tend to make. Very dull average comedians trying to be funny and tell stories that in all honesty fell flat almost every time. Dave is hilarious but certainly not worthy of this award, which at one time was considered prestigious. Don't bother with it. You'll be disappointed if you don't keep your expectations extremely low. I didn't make it all the way through. It was worse than most shows of this type. Hardly any laughs. One or 2 touching but instantly forgotten stories. Sorry, but it stunk.

This is just a good tribute to Dave Chappelle, featuring friends, family, co-workers and just awesome artists and people who respect him. The best part about this whole show are the flashbacks to Chappelle Show and other stand-up shows by Dave. As a big fan of his, I enjoyed this program.

Award shows usually have a lot of filler and this is no different. It had some good jobs from dave and a few other comedians though and it wasn't a bad use of time. That said it certainly made you just want to go back and watch the Chappelle show

.... but contains an element of value or social commentary or idk, ethereal essence - that elevates humanity, that is benevolence in a world sorely lacking, that is almost vital to the betterment of 'man' ... in truth, instead of fumbling for the proper qualifiers and descriptors there is one word that exemplifies everything I'm insufficient to - it is simply "Chappelle"

This "special" as I'll call it henceforth was very alright. It follows the ceremony of Incredible Comic Dave Chappele as he received the prestigious Mark Twain Prize. There are a few sets, most being stand up comedy which I'll focus on. The absolute star of the entire special was the set by Neil Brennan, which really shows his long history with Dave while also having Neil's signature "traumedy" style. Sadly, Aziz's set was largely unremarkable but was nothing agregious. Where problems arose was Tiffany Haddish's set which was quite pathetic and annoying. The special as a whole is a good watch if you are a fan of Dave Chappele or any of the comedians there as long as you don't mind a few bumps in the road.
