Dave Chappelle - My Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman
‘It’s a beautiful religion’: Dave Chappelle discusses his Muslim faith with David Letterman
Appearing as a guest in the latest season of the Netflix series My Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, the superstar American comic sat down for a wide-ranging interview that provided a rare insight into how his faith drove his successful career.
Chappelle, 47, recalled how that higher purpose was given some shape through his visits to his local pizza shop as 17-year-old in Washington, DC. It was the positive vibes of the Muslim staff that caught his attention.
"I wanted to have a meaningful life, a spiritual life, not just what my hands can hold,” he said. “I felt like I've always had this notion that life should mean something.”
