I think this is not a therapy session - rather, this is Chapelle turning into a preacher (and I don't say that as a negative thing).
If you saw the previous special he released on social media and his opening act for SNL, it's clear that he wants to talk about serious issues without having to sneak them between jokes.
- GauntletWizard 6y agoI appreciate that, and I think he's well qualified to preach - Particularly on this topic, but on plenty of others. Comedy comes from discomfort, and Chapelle's brand has always been a discomfort from disquieting truths. That plays well into preaching. That said, I think the history of actors getting involved in policy and politics is littered with cautionary tales. I wish him success in not getting dragged into the mud.
