David Khari Webber, popularly known as Dave Chappelle, is an American comedian, television/film producer and actor. Although his on-screen appearances have greatly reduced since the last decade, his quirky remarks and comic timing remains fresh even today. Ranked as one of the best stand-up comedians by ‘Comedy Central’, Dave Chappelle made his mark as an impeccable artiste on the ‘Chappelle’s Show’, which ended abruptly due to his early retirement. One of the boldest, raunchiest and the most versatile actor-comedians, he is known for his oddball sense of humor and for his crude guilelessness. Apart from stand-up comedy, he has also starred in a number of movies in minor yet unforgettable roles, including, ‘Robin Hood: Men in Tights’, ‘The Nutty Professor’ and ‘Blue Streak’. After years of struggle with small roles in films, he hit it big with his very own primetime show, which featured skits, celebrity mimicry and short films. Despite signing on for two more seasons of the show, the production was ‘indefinitely’ terminated and he got back to doing stand-up comedy. He converted to Islam and currently lives with his wife and three children on the outskirts of Yellow Springs, in Ohio.
