Season two of Chappelle's Show brings forth such guest stars as DMX, Ludacris, Jamie Foxx, Wayne Brady, Eddie Griffin, Samuel L. Jackson (hawking his own brand of beer), and Snoop Dogg (who also appears in puppet form!). In one memorable episode, Dave Chappelle reintroduces one of his season-one characters, crackhead Tyrone Biggums, in a "lost episode" of Fear Factor. This season also introduced the recurring segment "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories," in which Chappelle would reenact supposedly true incidents between Murphy and such celebrities as Rick James and Prince (with Chappelle playing those celebrities). Other highlights include the trials and tribulations of a white family named the "Niggars"; Chappelle magnanimously taking the place of such famous black courtroom defendants as R. Kelly and Michael Jackson; what the world would be like if everyone was gay; a very close encounter with Oprah Winfrey; and the saga of "Prince NegroDamus." ~ All Movie Guide

Season one of Chappelle's Show is highlighted by one of star Dave Chappelle's most inspired character creations: Clayton Bigsby, a blind man who doesn't know he is black and has become a race-bashing member of the Ku Klux Klan! Also good for laughs are Dave's faux "outtakes" from the miniseries Roots; a dramatization of what will happen when blacks finally get all that "reparation" money; the bigoted viewpoints of Hollywood's biggest animal stars; a crack addict's anti-drug speech at a grade school; the time-traveling "Player Haters"; Dave's recurring feature "Great Moments in Hook-Up History"; and funky revisionist versions of Ghost, Pretty Woman, and The Matrix. Guest stars include comedian Chris Rock, talk show host Carson Daly, musical performers 50 Cent and Mos Def...and Stephen King (!?!?). ~ All Movie Guide

This video contains two episodes of HBO's stand-up comedy show Def Comedy Jam, one hosted by Martin Lawrence and the other by Chris Rock. Outrageous jokes, physical humor, and generally wild behavior are the norm for Def Comedy Jam, and these two episodes follow suit. Featuring such comedians as Chris Tucker, Bernie Mac, and Rudy Rush, the acts run the gamut from low-key, subtle humor to raw observations on current issues, often focusing on black culture. Some of the country's hottest stand-up stars poke fun at sensitive topics like the Rodney King beating and pop culture stars like Michael Jackson, leading to irreverent, yet relevant comments on society at large.
