Dave Chappelle Thinks OJ Simpson Might Be Chasing Him | Netflix Is A Joke

- I've been watching that new OJ show. I can't get enough of that shit. Doesn't it bring back good memories? I forgot how polarizing the OJ case was. And you know, I've met OJ Simpson on four different occasions in my life. And before ending the program, I will tell you about each of those occasions. The first time I met OJ Simpson was in Santa Monica. - Santa Monica! Yeah. I can't believe a black guy was like Santa Monica! (Audience laughs) He was the last black man I expected to say that. Let me see your shoes. Do you have some Vans, black?

What do you have? (audience laughing) Santa Monica! At that time, I was 18 years old. I had done a show and then a guy from the club came up to me and said, hey, OJ Simpson is here and said he wants to meet you. I said that? Fuck yes. I ran down the stairs. And OJ was down there and said, "Hey, man, how you doing? "It's nice to meet you. "And you're doing a really good job, "and I hope good things happen in your life." I was like, "Man, thanks, Mr. Juice." (Audience laughs) Standing next to him.

I don't I know the nice way to say this. His soon-to-be-murdered wife. (Audience laughing) Ladies and gentlemen, be men, or you won't survive the end of this show. Just men, damn. (Audience laughing) She's dead. You know. We know what happened. We don't know who did it, but we know what happened. I have to tell you, that woman was very nice to me. In fact, she hugged me. She said, "I think you're adorable," and she told me. He hugged me. He said, "Good luck to you," and he hugged me for a long time, and I whispered in his ear, "Bitch, are you trying to get us both killed?" The trial of the century.

There I was, now a young man of probably 23 years old. OJ Simpson was the most famous or infamous face on planet Earth. He was at a restaurant in Beverly Hills with my agents. He wasn't alone in the restaurant, but he was alone. I was the only black person in the restaurant. And in the 90s that was very uncomfortable. Now I tend to enjoy it at this age. (Audience laughs) I was having dinner with my agent, celebrating a deal that I was told was lucrative but later learned was shit. And suddenly, a group of women passed by.

All races were in that group. Black, white, Asian, Latina, white, white and white again. They were all beautiful. I saw them pass. Then I saw a familiar face. Al Cowens, the man from the infamous Bronco chase, walked by, hugged one of the women, and they walked toward the door. He couldn't believe what he saw. And then, very close to him, was OJ Simpson, recently released from prison. The restaurant fell silent. I was shocked. I didn't mean to say it out loud, but it just came out. (panting) "DO!" He stopped, turned to see who was saying it, saw my black face and correctly assumed it was me. (audience laughs) I was sitting in the corner of the booth.

He leaned over all the white people he was having dinner with and shook my hand. "How are you young?" He looked me in the eyes and I could see in his eyes that he didn't remember meeting me the first time. (audience laughs) And then he walked away. And I looked back at my agents and they all had nothing short of disgust on their faces. And the only one who had the courage to express her displeasure was a woman named Sharon who used to represent me. "How could you?" She said. "How could you shake hands with that murderer?" I said, "Sharon, with all due respect, 'that killer ran over 11,000 yards.'" (Audience laughs) And he was acquitted, so, you know, screw it.

The glove didn't fit. The glove didn't fit. Get over yourself. The third time I met OJ Simpson. (Audience applauds) The third time I met OJ Simpson, I was doing very well in life. I just finished the second season of Chappelle's Show. (Audience applauds) Man , those were good days. "I was playing at a comedy club in Miami, The Improv. I don't know if you've ever been, but if you have, you'd know that the door to the green room is right on the stage. Can you imagine something like this? What thing? If I walked out the dressing room door, bam, I'm right here, straight from the dressing room.

And I did that. I walked out and the whole crowd was like, hooray! And I looked, mom. "I am, no matter how close you are to me, I saw him as soon as I came out, The Juice. And I saw recognition in his eyes and I was filled with pride that he knew who I was. I didn't recognize his presence because it was a white audience and I didn't want to generate panic. (Audience laughs) But I did my show. The show was great. I said, "Good night everyone." Everyone said yes! And I didn't say anything to OJ, I just gave him the signal to let him know I knew that was there. (Audience laughs) And I walked into the green room, and OJ was already there! (Audience laughs) I was like, how the fuck is this possible?

I was scared. And then my friends came in and We all started talking. We sat on the couch. And I'm just telling you what I saw with my own eyes. You can believe me or not, but in my experience, OJ Simpson is one of the nicest men I've ever met. It was nice to meet him, He was kind to my friends, the conversation was full of warmth and lightness and humor. And wisdom. We talked for 90 minutes and suddenly The Juice said, "You know what? "I have to go. "But it's good to see you again, "and I'm glad everything went so well." I said, "Thank you, Juice." And my friends were like, "Yeah, bye, Mr.

Juice." They're new to the game (audience laughing) He said, "No, thank you for your hospitality." "Good night." And we said, "Good night." And he just left the room. And as soon as the door closed, we all looked at each other like, "That black did that shit." (audience laughs) It could feel like murder in the room. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I forgot. The fourth time I met OJ Simpson. (audience cheering) The fourth time isn't the funniest, but it was the last time I saw The Juice. For some reason he was in the Kentucky Derby.

Its a very long history. This is right after I left Chappelle's Show in spectacular fashion. There was a party hosted by Michael Jordan and every athlete he had ever admired was in that room. Yes. And then I saw a familiar face by the bar, standing there, drinking alone. It was Chris Tucker. Now, you have to remember that at this point we were both technically missing. (Audience laughs) And we got closer and we were talking to each other and the motherfuckers were surprised to see us together. Watching Chris Tucker and I at that moment would be like watching Bigfoot riding a unicorn.

You wouldn't believe that's what you were seeing. And then, among all the curious, a familiar face made his way through the crowd. Here it was again, The Juice. He had his camera ready. He said, "Dave, Chris, good to see you." "Hey, come on guys. "Let's all get together and take a photo." And at the same time, Chris and I were like no. I can't do that. I'm sorry, Juice, my career is too fragile to survive a photo with you. (audience laughs) That's the end. Good night. (upbeat instrumental music) (audience applauding)
