00:00Ahead of the Netflix specials, Dave Chappelle sat down with Gail Kang for an interview where
00:08he admitted that it hurt to see the show Key & Peele use the sketch comedy format that he
00:13fought so hard to establish while working on Chappelle's show without getting any of the
00:18credit. Watch. When I watch Key & Peele and I see they're doing the format that I created
00:26and at the end of the show it says created by Key & Peele, that hurts my feelings.
00:32Mm, panelists, what are your thoughts on this? And does Dave Chappelle have a point? So let's
00:36hold up the cards. Is it Slade or Shade? Shade, Shade, Shade.
00:40Yo, yo, yo.
00:41Wait a minute.
00:42I feel like he's waiting.
00:43We're going to have you back.
00:46I feel Dave Chappelle on that.
00:48Okay, tell me. Why is that? Why do you feel him?
00:50I fought for all this and then the minute I'm not here and you guys feel a position, you
00:54created it? Come on.
00:56Sharon, did he create it?
00:58Quite a minute. It was about ten years later or something. And here's the thing. I mean,
01:03if we look back at the Chappelle show, we can see credits for Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock
01:08and Richard Pryor, if that's the case.
01:11Right.
01:12And their show's not as close to the Dave Chappelle show. I'm not, no shade to them,
01:15but the Dave Chappelle show was amazing. Key & Peele.
01:19But have we gotten Key & Peele's side of the story? I mean, what do you think about that?
01:23Um, we haven't gotten their side yet. However, I mean, so what does that mean for shows like
01:28In Living Color or The Wayans Family? Like, they created a certain type of sketch comedy.
01:33Um, Flip Wilson did a sketch comedy. Like, there's a format that has been built on for
01:39Black comedy shows for years to come.
01:41I don't think Dave Chappelle created it.
01:43Yeah.
01:44You know what I mean?
01:45Everyone's influenced by somebody at the end of the day.
01:47Absolutely. Yeah.
01:48Now, if he wants credit for being the influencer, that's up to them to want to give him that credit.
01:52But in this moment in time, I think it's important to not create this type of, you know.
01:58It seems like he's in his feelings, right?
02:00Well, again, but again, everybody wants to be offensive to be defensive.
02:04But this is the thing. I mean, Dave Chappelle is a legend and he gets credit for being a legend.
02:08And he's still around. He has these Netflix specials coming out.
02:11Yeah.
02:12So, I don't think Key and Peele are taking anything away from him.
02:15He stands alone.
02:16I tend to agree with that.
02:17And obviously, Twitter is doing something completely different with Get Out, so.
02:19Absolutely. And congratulations to them.
02:21All right, Kayla.
02:22Hey.
02:22What are the folks saying? Hey, girl.
02:24What do they say?
02:25So, people are on his side. So, they're slaying Dave Chappelle.
02:27Oh, they're slaying?
02:28They are. They're saying Ernestine Hill says they should give him credit for sure.
02:31Debra Treanor says if they took it from him, they should give him his props.
02:35Holly Frazier says give him his credit due.
02:37So, everyone is on his side.
02:39Well, wow.
02:40He is actually giving them his props or giving him props because in interviews, they say
02:47that he's been a very big influence on their property.
02:49And that's all you need to say.
02:50We just need to get them in a room.
02:51Yeah.
02:52Yeah.
02:53We just need to get them in a room and get them to hash it out.
02:54They need a comedy hug.
02:55Yeah.
02:56They need a comedy hug.
02:57A comedy hug?
02:58I love this.
02:59We'll make it happen.
