Record Store Day Black Friday provides new music on vinyl records to independent record stores around the United States.

Dave Chappelle Locks in Netflix Deal for Three Comedy Specials

By |November 22nd, 2016|Categories: Entertainment, Featured, Film News, National News, Netflix, Pop Culture|Tags: , , , , , , |

Dave Chapelle is continuing to make a comeback to the entertainment industry by conducting a deal with Netflix to produce three comedy shows.
