The first special, “Earthquake: Legendary,” showcasing the legendary comic whose real name is Nathaniel Martin Stroman, premieres Feb. 28. Comedian Donnell Rawlings will be featured in a special as well.
“I’ve been doing this a long time and comedians like Quake and Donnell are not only friends but have inspired my own career,” said Chappelle, in a release. “Anyone in the comedy community knows these names and knows their time to shine is long overdue. I am proud to be a part of this moment. "
Emmy winner Stan Lathan, a frequent Chappelle collaborator, returns to direct.
