Neal Brennan on Dave Chappelle | 2019 Mark Twain Prize | Watch on Netflix

hi Dave honestly I don't know how this night came to be Dave doesn't tend to like formal events normally he dresses like a window washer I can only imagine his wife Elaine said to him babe how could I get you to stop smoking for two hours and Dave assuming it would never happen was like you'd have to get John Stewart Sarah Silverman Neal q-tip Tiffany Haddish Lorne Michaels John Legend Bradley Cooper and say Morgan Freeman [Applause] to fly to DC and honor my talent Elaine said great October 27 the day was like they gave me a career we met in 1992 at a comedy club in New York City we wrote a few jokes together over the years but I'd always hope we could do something bigger then in 1997 Dave calls me and goes hey if Universal reaches out to you tell them we're writing a we'd movie together and I was like what we'd moved and Dave said don't worry about it next thing I know someone from Universal calls me and asked are you writing a we'd movie with Dave Chappelle and I was like yes and they go when can you pitch it to us and I was like in 30 days time so we had a month to figure the pitch out and finally on day 29 I called Dave and I'm like dude we got to work this we'd movie out and he goes what we'd movie [Applause] you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
