Dave Chappelle, full name - David Khari Webber Chappelle, is an American stand-up comedian, actor & producer.Chappelle is the recipient of numerous awards, including 2 Emmy Awards and two Grammy Awards as well as a Mark Twain Prize. He is most known for his iconic and acclaimed satirical comedy sketch series Chappelle's Show (2003–2006). When asked about the biggest influence on him in comedy, Chappelle spoke of Richard Pryor:

"What a precedent he set. Not just as a comic, but as a dude. The fact that someone was able to open themselves wide-open like that. It's so hard to talk in front of people or to open yourself up to your closest friends. But to open yourself up for everybody: I freebase, I beat my women, I shot my car. And nobody's mad at Richard for that. They understand. Somehow they just understand. And when I was going through this thing this year, that is the example I would think to myself that gave me the courage to just go back on the stage."
