While I do think that Dave Chappelle is an amazing comedian, "greatest comedian currently alive" is highly subjective and debatable. That said, thanks for linking anything Dave Chappelle. =P
as icedwarrior said hes a good comedian but i prefer chris rock, robin williams and jim carrey
someone else might have gotten it wrong.
His first one was okay, I think he was trying to find his rhythm. His second special, the Texas one made me laugh so hard. Netflix gave him $60 million for the specials I heard.

The first special was solid.
Unfortunately the second special was mostly filler. He resorted to awful humor, wasn't feeling the crowd, or was tired, or something like that and and stalled by asking for a smoke and sitting in a chair, then changed the tone to a bunch of obviously fake stories with a shitty punchline at the end that resulted in the entire story being moot.

Probably forgot a bunch. Anyhow, I consider any of above to be better than Dave Chappelle. But each to his own....
I don't like greatest or whatever, always hard for me to pick a "greatest" but he is definitely top tier.
Louis CKs special is hilarious too.

Ones that are currently putting out specials man. I think Chris Rock has one coming out in the not too distant future though.
Resident Cosplay Progressive
Yeah, I agree. I lost interest pretty early for the Louis CK one. Chappelle had some cringeworthy topics as well, but was overall better in both shows.
I'd still take Gabriel Iglesias over both at this point. Also, Dan Tosh. Though, both of these early work was much better than the most current specials.
I liked the first one, haven't seen the Texas one yet. Dave is up there with George Carlin as far as best comedians, to me. I don't enjoy many of them, but Dave, George, Denis Leary and John Pinette are the ones I can watch any show they do/did and love it.
