"I fought the network very hard so that those conventions could come to fruition.”
“So like the first episode, I do that black white supremacist sketch," he added. "And it’s like, ‘Well, that’s 10 minutes long. It should be five minutes long.’ Why should it be five minutes long? Like, these types of conventions. I fought very hard..."
"So when I watch Key & Peeleand I see they’re doing a format that I created, and at the end of the show, it says, ‘Created by Key & Peele,’ that hurts my feelings,” Chappelle said.
Chappelle's new specials begin streaming March 21.
