Dave Chappelle, quite simply, is THE front-runner in the comedic entertainment world today, hands down. There isn't any other way to put it; Chappelle's weekly show was a double-edged sword, metaphorically speaking; it took racial issues in the world today and put a brilliant twist on them-after all, aren't issues easier to swallow and tolerate when we can laugh at them? Perhaps who ever said that "laughter is the best medicine" was correct.

It's a shame that his show isn't producing new seasons, but has led to spin-off types of shows, comedic episodes addressing racial issues and stereotypes such as Carlos Mencia's, "The Mind of Mencia". If, somehow, Dave Chappelle were to start making episodes, you better believe that I will be glued to my television set watching every single one.

A tip of the cap to you, Mr. Chappelle. God bless, wherever you are.
