During the appearance, Chappelle talked about George Floyd‘s death inspired him to create “something beautiful,” which led to himm making 8:46 alongside the short’s co-directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichart.
“We didn’t even know if the show would be possible with people sitting six feet apart,” Chappelle said, according to Webster University’s The Journal. “We did everything specifically to COVID specs.”
