In the clip, the comedian talks about his experiences growing up black and having white friends. He recounts his first sleepover at a white friend’s house and is left amazed at how “poor” he is, and so, he goes back to his house and asks his parents to “step up” their game. This move makes it pretty evident that Netflix is trying to outdo itself in terms of content creation. According to several reports, Chappelle is being paid a whopping $20 million for each special. The Business Insider
states that right now, more than worrying about the money, Netflix is invested in getting more subscribers and with someone like Chappelle on board, both users and the press will be more involved than ever. Watch the trailer here:
