“It’s been a long time, it’s been a long time, so please be patient,” Chappelle joked on SNL.
Netflix’s vice president of original documentary and comedy, Lisa Nishumura, said in a statement issued on Monday, “Dave Chappelle is a legendary voice in comedy – searing, vital, and now more than ever, essential.”
“Dave’s three new specials promise to be some of the most anticipated events in comedy," Nishumura said.

One of the specials scheduled to be released in 2017 will be coming from his most recent comedy tour, while the other two are coming from what Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw calls Chappelle’s “personal comedy vault.”

The two already-recorded specials will come out at the same time in 2017. These two were filmed at Austin City Limits and the other at the Hollywood Palladium. The new film will be a Netflix original special and will release independent of the others.
