Dave Chappelle Is Returning to TV to Host Saturday Night Live
It's the enigmatic comedian's biggest TV appearance since Chappelle's Show ended in 2006
Legendary comedian Dave Chappelle will host Saturday Night Live's Nov. 12 episode, NBC announced Friday.
This will be Chappelle's first time hosting on SNL, and his highest-profile TV appearance since walking away from his sketch show Chappelle's Show in 2005.
The episode's musical guest will be hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, who are releasing their first album in 18 years, We Got It From Here ... Thank You 4 Your Service on Nov. 11. It will be a Chappelle's Show reunion of sorts, as ATCQ's leader Q-Tip appeared in a memorable Sesame Street spoofin a Season 2 episode.
Chappelle has kept a relatively low profile since the end of Chappelle's Show, performing stand-up but rarely making TV appearances.
SNL's next episode on Nov. 5 will be hosted by Doctor Strange's Benedict Cumberbatch, with musical guest Solange.
Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays at 11:30/10:30c on NBC.
