Since it was published on 11 June 2020, the video has gained more than 29 million views.
Kevin Allocca, YouTube’s head of culture and trends, wrote a blog post about Chappelle’s clip, commenting on the comedian’s serious tone.
The clip is a parody of the explosive first 2020 presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden , featuring Alec Baldwin as Trump and Jim Carrey as Biden.
“When protests against racial injustice swept the nation, Dave Chappelle channeled his thoughts into an impromptu, socially distanced show that captured the emotions felt by many.”
