Chappelle recently hosted Saturday Night Live, the show’s first episode following the election, along with musical guest A Tribe Called Quest. According to the live and same day ratings from Nielsen, Chappelle’s SNL episode was the highest of the season for total viewers and adults 18-49 and the highest in that age range since 2013. It was his first time hosting the show.

Chappelle’s last comedy special was 2004’s Dave Chappelle: For What It’s Worth, so this is a long-awaited event. We’ve reached out to Netflix for more info and will keep you posted as news rolls in.
