There is no doubt that Dave Chappelle will go down in history as one of the greatest comedians to ever walk the planet thanks in no small part to the specials that put him on the map, and although he is without no doubt a masterful storyteller, listening to his jokes. Usually forces you to suspend your disbelief, because the idea of ​​a baby selling crack cocaine in a corner is as funny as it is absurd.

Dave Chappelle went all-in on the absurdity when he turned to Chappelle show, using the sketch comedy format to its advantage by imagining a wide variety of ridiculous storylines and giving viewers Nick Cannon levels of hilariously endlessly quote in the process.

It is practically impossible for me to choose my favorite sketch Chappelle show, but watching the man behind and the rest of the gang recreate the tales the late Charlie Murphy told in the “True Hollywood Stories” segments would probably be near the top of my list.

The recurring track made its debut in the show’s second season when Murphy was joined by Rick James to reflect on some of the wild nights they had together, with Chappelle playing the latter to recreate. some of their misadventures.

Chappelle show Also gave us a supposedly true story about when Charlie and Eddie Murphy were invited to Prince’s house and found themselves playing basketball against the musical icon, where the brothers and their team were absolutely smitten before Prince don’t invite them inside for pancakes.

In the episode, Murphy argued the story was 100% true and seemed offended when a producer questioned its accuracy, but I doubt I’m the only person who assumed it was all part of the track. . However, based on what Eddie Murphy recently revealed in a conversation with Jimmy Fallon, that’s not the case.

Thursday Murphy joined Tonight’s show and he was asked to attest to the veracity of the story his older brother told, which the actor claimed to be “totally and absolutely correct” (discussion begins around 6 p.m.).

Chappelle obviously took some creative liberties (Murphy says he performed in the clothes he wore at the club) but it looks like the phrase “Shirts versus blouses” was spoken and Prince’s team “kicked the shit out” Of their opponents. Unfortunately the pancakes did not come up, but from what Murphy said I have no reason to doubt that they were served after being served in the field.
