The Dreamer: Netflix Drops Trailer for Dave Chappelle NYE Special

Morgan Freeman joins Dave Chappelle in the official trailer for Chappelle's New Year's Eve Netflix comedy special, The Dreamer.

Earlier this month, the news hit that actor/comedian Dave Chappelle and Netflix were teaming up for this seventh special together – with a teaser locking down December 31st as the date. Now, Chappelle is joined by trailer narrator Morgan Freeman in the official trailer for the special – officially titled Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer. "What do you dream about? Not the dreams you have in your sleep: the ones you hold in your heart. Don't be intimidated by the audacity of your dream – be inspired by it," Freeman shares at one point in the clip below. "What happens to a dream deferred? Lucky for Dave, he doesn't know."

Filmed in Chappelle's hometown of Washington, D.C., at the Lincoln Theatre, here's a look at the official trailer for Netflix's Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer:

Dave Chappelle "Tricked" by Lauren Boebert?!?

Chappelle wants you to know that Rep. Lauren Boebert (along with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna) tricked him into taking that photo that Boebert posted last week. The ultra-conservative House of Representatives member & someone who appreciates a fine theater-going experience isn't a friend of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies – and Chappelle's had his issues, too. So when Boebert writes, "Just three people who understand that there's only two genders," you can understand how that's going to piss more than a few people off. Chappelle offered his side of things during a show in Washington, DC, last Thursday night – but we're still not quite sure what it is exactly. Sharing that he was approached by several members of Congress during his visit to the Capitol, Chappelle said that he "didn't expect" to see Boebert and that it would've felt weird for him to deny her request for a picture ("What was I supposed to do?"). Now, we're guessing the "tricked" part has to do with Chappelle claiming he was blindsided by the wording of Boebert's tweet/x – including a joke about Boebert's Beetlejuice controversy. Okay, a couple of thoughts…

First… you're Dave F*****G Chappelle! How are you letting someone like Boebert "trick" you? Along with that? Yes, you do turn down her request. It really is that simple. Your personal awkwardness doesn't compare to the damage that that picture does out in the real world. And even if Chappelle was "tricked," did he or anyone on his team ask for Boebert to take it down – maybe go public with a statement about how you don't like being misrepresented? Here's a look back at the tweet that Boebert posted on Thursday that did not make a whole lot of folks happy:
