It’s always an event when comedian Dave Chappelle speaks, and last night s appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” was no different.
Although Fallon is now back in his studio, Chappelle still appeared remotely from what appeared to be a garage filled with friends. Chappelle recounted his inspiration to resume holding in-person comedy shows last summer, noting that after George Floyd’s murder, he felt like he needed to have a microphone in his hand. After getting personal approval from the Ohio governor, he ended up holding 54 shows in a 5-acre cornfield, all of which were documented by the filmmakers behind the Obama-produced “American Factory.”
Midnight Miracle podcast have launched on Luminary.
The first episode, titled “How to Inspire,” is available for free via YouTube and elsewhere and sees the hosts making good use of the experimental form they’re taking with this series.
“How do you make somebody want to live?” Chappelle asked at the top of the first episode. “Like, how do you make somebody want to live? Seriously, if someone you love was actively, slowly killing themselves, what are you gonna do?” From there, the hosts spoke between clips of the late Amy Winehouse.
Also in the first episode, Bey reflected on a show with Chappelle during which he unknowingly consumed several edibles before Robin Williams took the stage for a surprise set.
The Midnight Miracle, an experimental podcast hosted by Dave Chappelle, Yasiin Bey, and Talib Kweli recorded at Chappelle s home last year. Today, the first episode was uploaded for free, as Stereogum points out.

Seriously, if someone you love was actively, slowly killing themselves, what are you gonna do?â The program goes on to pay tribute to Amy Winehouse, Robin Williams, and Malik B., the rapper and founding member of The Roots who passed away last year at age 47.
