Comedian Donnell Rawlings spoke about the impact of the famous Prince skit on the "Chappelle's Show." He agrees with Vlad that it was fundamental in establishing the show's success. Rawlings notes that the skits were more about recreating actual stories, particularly those told by the late comedian Charlie Murphy. The interview includes the story of Charlie Murphy endorsing Rawlings's comedic abilities, sadly to be dismissed by Eddie Murphy. Returning years later to Saturday Night Live to reprise their "Chappelle's Show" characters, Rawlings reflects on the significant increase in resources. He finishes by discussing the likelihood of a "Chappelle's Show" reunion, concluding that it may be better to "let it be a part of history and just keep it moving."
