Dave Chappelle just filmed an HBO special that should premier later this year.

By these titles, I can be the predator, or the invited guest.

Respect for recognizing Sinbad...he always gets overshadowed by much lesser talents and gets cast aside because of his "clean" material. Clean or not, the dude is naturally funny as ****.

Re: Dave Chappelle -vs- Eddie Griffin: Who U Got?
Overall Chappelle Show peak trumps so many other comedians...
Yet if its based on overall career work Eddie Griffin wins. I've seen him a few times.

While Dave obviously had a higher peak, Griffin has been putting out consistent stand up material for a long, long time. Dave is the better side man in films though, like in Nutty Professor, Blue Streak and even Undercover Brother with Eddie Griffin.
Dave has just 3 stand up specials compared to 7 for Eddie Griffin.

92 HBO One Night Stand
94 The Black Man's Bible
97 VooDoo Child
02 The Last Stand: Raw & Uncut

CHAPPELLE
97 HBO Comedy Half-Hour

05 For What It's Worth

What's your take?
You are vastly overrating the importance and significance of a "special".
A "special" is no different than a regular show, except there is a camera crew there.
For instance, Chappelle has been doing stand up around the country for the past few years, and from various youtube clips I've seen, the sh*t is hilarious. But according to you it doesn't count, because he never officially called up a camera crew to make these shows into "specials".

Never said it didn't count. But a special is where various people who don't go to a comedy show can get a glimpse of the performer.
Chappelle has a special on HBO later this year.

Re: Dave Chappelle -vs- Eddie Griffin: Who U Got?
Dave Chappelle is light years ahead of Eddie Griffin. It's not even close. TBH I feel bad for Dave getting disrespected badly with this comparison
Dave vs. Chris Rock would have been more fair. Damn I wish Chris Rock went back to the mic.

I saw Eddie's show, "The Eddie Griffin Experience" the other day and the man is amazing.
Also, his opening act is Mason Pryor, Richard Pryor's son.
