Elaine Chappelle Husband, Dave Chappelle
Now that we have covered all there is to know about Elaine, let’s share some information about her husband, the famous comedian, Dave Chappelle.
Born David Khari Webber Chappelle on the 24th August 1973, in Washington D.C. USA, he is the son of William David Chappelle III, who was a statistician and later a professor at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and his wife, Yvonne K. Chappelle Seon, who was a professor at Prince George’s Community College, Howard University, and also the University of Maryland. He has two older siblings, and also a step-brother and step-mother since his parents divorced and his father remarried.
After the divorce of his parents, Dave remained with his mother in Silver Spring, Maryland and later matriculated from Duke Ellington School of the Arts, where he studied theatre arts.
Career Beginnings
From his early childhood, Dave made people laugh, and it reached a whole new level when he saw Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor in their comedy stints. He had no doubt that comedy was his true vocation, so once he finished his education, Dave left his hometown and settled in New York City, where he started pursuing his career.
Dave slowly developed his comedy routine in minor clubs, and after every performance was a bit more popular than before. This led him to the prestigious Apollo Theater and one of its notorious Amateur Nights. He was booed off the stage, which was no surprise as this was a frequent occurrence for new performers, but this only encouraged him further.
Rise to Stardom
His open mind helped him in a great way at the beginning of his career; it was the film “The Nutty Professor” and the role next to one of his idols, Eddie Murphy that helped him reach prominence. After the film became a complete success, Dave was a star in the making, and continued his career successfully, becoming one of the most renowned comedians. With the start of the 2000s, he worked with Comedy Central on his own “Dave Chappelle Show” which lasted from 2003 to 2006 when he quit the show. After this, he took a break from his career, which lasted until 2013 when he made his comeback. He has now been working with Netflix and has released a pair of Netflix specials “Dave Chappelle: The Bird Revelation” (2017), and “Dave Chappelle: Equanimity” (2017), while most recently he portrayed George ‘Noodles’ Stone in the film “A Star Is Born” (2018).
