He's a heck of a MAN.

"That people are trying to replace the ideas of good and bad with better or worse. And that is incorrect, you gotta keep your ethics intact. Because good and bad is a compass that helps you find the way. And a person that only does what's better or worse is the easiest type of person to control. They are a mouse in a maze that just finds the cheese. But the one who knows about good and bad will realize that he's in a maze...."

No. That is emphatically *not* what he was saying. He said that good and bad matter. You think the $50million wouldn't have made him happy? Ethics are ethics whether or not they make you happy. Do what is right. That's his essential message.

I respect other comedians but Dave Chappelle is just a genius. In such a formal surrounding he still just can't help himself.... "Hello Police" lol.

Dave Chappele’s greatness ( or genius) as it were can and will be measured by what he (as a comedian and orator, lecturer) “...leaves to grow, and whether he started others to think along fresh lines of thought with a vigor that persist after him.” - H.G. Wells

His saying about good and bad versus better or worse should go down in history as a great Dave Chapelle quote

You think you're not the most famous comedian of your time but after binge watching some of your interviews and speeches, you will be remembered as a legend. You already are, you just don't know it. Such a great person, and more talented than you know. Thank you for standing up for what is right. I see Hollywood trying to pull you in. Pressuring to speak about topics you don't agree with. Please never stop being you Dave, not that you'll ever see this, but I want you to know that.

Love Gail's interviews with him. She doesn't do that hyperactive fake fauning a lot of interviewers do, she's thoughtful and listens and takes in what he is saying. Great moments.

My late grandmother attended Allen. Respect!

This whole video is f***ing beautiful

Kudos on the profound maze analogy!!

He is an amazing person. He's a "marker" if you will, that sees and marks down the truth as he moves along. He also happens to be one of the funniest comedians that I've ever heard.

I don't understand the people hating on this dude, on some "boo he's unfunny" or "he a clone" shit. This guy has aged, so his comedy has changed, but he's still got it more than so many of the trending standup comedians... His style is absolutely unique, he can make you laugh with stupid jokes, and then come back to these jokes and be like "oooh snap, that's what he meant", in a way very few comedians can. if any. And how can you listen to a speech like that and acknowledge the depth of his words, the sheer wisdom that emanates from his thoughts? What's amazing about this guy is how simple, and how real he keeps it. His standup persona has always been a reflection of that aspect of his personality: he only knows how to do things the way he does them. That's why his crowd loves him. That, and the fact that he's so generous when he's on stage... I remember seeing footage from a gig at a comedy club in NY I think, where he spent an amazing 3.5 hours with the small crowd that was there and basically closed the place down, getting food in there with them, just because they were having fun. Imagine how blessed you must feel, if you one of the lucky guys in attendance, you've paid to see a regular routine, and you get to spend so much time with one of the best that ever did it, and interact with them (throughout the set, he was literally going back and forth with the audience, and improvising jokes based on what they told him) A legend. Simply.

wow, Dave nailed it... serious, funny but appropriate. Well stated... he made his father, grandfather and I'm sure his great grandfather proud! Chappelle=Top 5 all time for me

That hand off at 1:20 is savage level

I can listen to Dave Chappelle talk... all day. His speeches, no matter it's a standup, sketch, interviews or standing up in a podium to give a thanks. He's always so good. He gets serious and in the midst of seriousness, cracks a big joke. He is the greatest comedian of his generation in my book.

You can see how visibly emotional and moved he was right at the end of the video when people are cheering.

This is how you measure a real human being, and a good one. Dave Chappelle is really a leader. Love you bro, stay true to yourself, you are inspiring so many people.
