    The wait is over … for the trailer. Today, Netflix released a clip to promote its new comedy special with Dave Chappelle and the date is set: March 21. In case you forgot, he got paid $60 million for this deal, which includes one set from April 2015 in Austin, Texas, and another from March 2016 in Los Angeles for the time being. There is another show scheduled as well.

    Sure, it’s just a short teaser, but in it, he touches on his long absence, Martin Luther King Jr., O.J. Simpson and being black. Judging from the way people react pretty much anywhere Chappelle shows up, this might end up being the most highly streamed event in Netflix history.
