Netflix specials Dave Chappelle has put out in the past decade feel less like polished bits than highlights from a theoretical Dave Chappelle podcast. However, one venue he appears to take more seriously than Netflix’s stand-up vertical is the SNL stage in the immediate aftermath of a Donald Trump election — a forum he presided over in 2016 and 2020.

Chappelle has hosted “SNL” three times to date and will soon be a four-time host. That will leave him one hosting gig shy of the elite Five-Timers-Club, a group that includes stars like Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, and Tina Fey.

Chappelle’s latest SNL hosting gig means he is now just one appearance away from joining the show’s Five-Timers Club, which features a star-studded members list that includes Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Kristen Wiig and Martin Short — who became the coveted club’s most recent inductee in December 2024.
