Now this is going to be something. I'm 99% certain they're going to do some classic Chapelle's sketch (But Not Really for Legal Purposes); my money's on the Black KKK one adapted for the current state of the Republican Party.

Wait, Tribe? Didn't Phife die recently?

Yes. A Tribe Called Quest is doing one last album with stuff they had laying around before Phife's passing, then they're disbanding IIRC.
 
I wonder if they will be allowed to do skits based off his Chappelle Show skits, or if Comedy Central owns the rights to those?

Regardless, I'm more excited for an SNL episode than I've ever been in my entire life.

My guess is that they'll just find a work-around. Maybe not use the same name but the same basic premise. For example, somebody posted they could do Black Trump instead of Black Bush; that's totally fine from a legal perspective (Regardless of what the actual Trump may say).
 
wow, definitely a must watch for me. I wonder who the surprise guests will be, beyond Baldwin (Trump) and maybe Larry David.

imagine if Obama shows up...

Not stuff they had laying around. They were actively recording a new album, but phife died in the middle of it, so they got a bunch of friends to help finish it

I'm inclined to think better of both SNL and Chappelle rather than re-use 10 year old skits.
 
Listened to some of his shows in the last year that were uploaded on Youtube, hes still great, he has such a gift of just telling a story and sharing the laughter, even if theres nothing you can really point to and say "Oh thats a great line". Just naturally funny and charismatic and I cant wait to see this.

Will white people ruin it for everyone else by repeating his jokes over and over again and only have the most superficial reading of his skits and using them as a valid excuse to drop the N bomb and other racist shit in public?
 
He did a few shows in NYC in September so I hope he pulls some material from those for SNL. Excited for what he has to say.
 
Damn. Too bad Jay Pharaoh has left the show last season. Chappelle and him could have been cool combination on the show.

Plus Benedict Cumberbatch is hosting this week. Amazing stuff.
 
Wow this is nuts. Wonder how he agreed to do this. Could this be a return to the limelight?

But cot damn this will be a must watch.
 
Turns out Dave's tinfoil hat is still on too tight.

Didn't watch SNL before, and I won't catch this one either. How disappointing (but somehow not surprising) that he is a Trump supporter.

I'll watch Chappelle show reruns instead.

What the fuck Dave? Seriously thought he was more astute then this.
