'''Dave Chappelle''' was born on August 24, 1973 in [[Washington DC|Washington, D.C.]] His first credited role was in [[Mel Brooks]]' ''[[Robin Hood: Men in Tights]]'' as "Ahchoo." He was offered the chance to star as Bubba in ''[[Forrest Gump]]'', but he turned down the role, [[It Will Never Catch On|believing that the movie would flop at the box office]] (a decision he would come to regret). Chappelle wrote and starred in the classic stoner film ''[[Half Baked]]''. He is best known, however, for his sketch comedy show on Comedy Central named (appropriately) ''[[Chappelle's Show]]''. The show lasted from 2003 to 2006. During this time he came out with several sketches that enjoyed wide success--most famously in which Chappelle plays a disorderly Rick James, driving the phrase "I'm Rick James, bitch!" [[Memetic Mutation|deep into American culture]]. Chappelle received two Emmy nominations for his show.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'm Rick James, Bitch" from [[Chappelle's Show]] became an incredibly popular line with audiences, even though it was only used in one sketch. [[Creator Backlash]] occurred when this catchphrase was thrown at him repeatedly during his stand-up sets in the mid-2000s.
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: Burnout and other factors led to him walking off ''[[Chappelle's Show]]'' in Season 3.
* [[N-Word Privileges]]: Chappell uses the N-Word.

* [[Uncle Tomfoolery]]: Parodied in ''[[Robin Hood: Men in Tights]]'', as well as in some of his standup.
