Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson take IMO on the road to Yellow Springs, Ohio, for a candid and wide-ranging conversation with comedy legend Dave Chappelle.
From the community he calls home, Dave reflects on the experiences that shaped his life and comedy, including growing up between Washington, D.C., and Ohio and learning to see the world through two very different perspectives. He also opens up about life in the spotlight, his search for meaning beyond fame and the family that gave him the confidence to follow his own path.
In one of the conversation’s most personal moments, Dave reflects on his parents and the influence of his mother, whom he calls a “greatness whisperer” for her ability to recognize and encourage his potential.
Filled with humor, honesty and personal stories, the episode offers a different look at Dave Chappelle - not simply as a legendary comedian, but through the people, places and experiences that helped shape who he became.
