on The Closer affected Dave’s image and led to a sudden break in his ongoing
stand-up shows. This is why Netflix didn’t make any noise about the arrival of
his new speech What’s In A Name. Also, his set from Netflix Is a Joke was
canceled

Moving on from everything Netflix premiered the film as the speech opens with
Duke Ellington’s famous quote: “Art is dangerous. It is one of the attractions:
when it ceases to be dangerous, you don’t want it.” Whereas the speech also
stated that the college theater was about to be in Chappelle’s name. But due to
all the defamation, they changed it to the Theater for Artistic Freedom and
Expression. 

“The more you say I can’t say something, the more urgent it is for me to say
it,” he said in the speech. 

“It has nothing to do with what you are saying I can’t say. It has everything to
do with my freedom of artistic expression,” he added, explaining the meaning of
the title.
