Celebrity Trial Jury Selection

"Celebrity Trial Jury Selection ." Chappelle's Show. Dave Chappelle Perf. Comedy Central, 22 APR 2004.



In this skit from his Comedy Central show, Dave Chappelle plays a prospective jury member being interviews by lawyers for the trials of Michael Jackson, Robert Blake, and R. Kelly. Throughout the clip, Chappelle pokes fun at the three men for their respective crimes and for personal issues as well. He defends Michael Jackson, but makes fun of characteristics such as his nose and obsession with glitter, but in the end says he would never let his son sleep with the man. Later, Chappelle says that he has seen R. Kelly's sex tape 80 times and tells the attorneys what it would take for him to believe R. Kelly is guilty. Chappelle ends making a statement about the entire US legal system.
