Dave Chappelle Special - 8:46 ()

Overview

Dave Chappelle searingly addresses the death of George Floyd and the aftermath. The 27-minute monologue is entitled “8:46,” which is the amount of time former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was filmed kneeling on Floyd’s neck before he died. Right off the bat, Chappelle acknowledges that the socially-distanced performance, which was filmed on June 6 in Yellow Springs, Ohio, is “weird and less than ideal circumstances to do a show.”
He gets raw about everything from Floyd’s death to the media in a set that is heavier on observations than jokes.
The comic also had harsh words for conservative commentator Candace Owens and Fox TV host Laura Ingraham.
