Which comedian co-created and starred in the sketch series Chappelle’s Show?

Dave Chappelle co-created and starred in Chappelle’s Show, the influential American sketch-comedy series that premiered on Comedy Central in 2003.

Chappelle developed the program with Neal Brennan. Its sketches often used recurring characters, social satire, and exaggerated situations to discuss race, celebrity, music, and popular culture. Chappelle played many of the show’s central roles himself.

The series became especially famous for sketches such as “The Racial Draft,” “Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories,” and “The Wayne Brady Show.” Chappelle left during production of the third season, and the network later broadcast the completed sketches as Chappelle’s Show: The Lost Episodes.

The show is sometimes described simply as Chappelle’s comedy program, but its official title includes the apostrophe in “Chappelle’s.” Its success helped make Chappelle one of the most recognized American stand-up comedians of the 2000s.
