Dave Chappelle to Receive President’s Award at 2025 NAACP Image Awards

Dave Chappelle will become the first comedian to receive the President’s Award during the 2025 NAACP Image Awards on Saturday, Feb. 22.

“Through his unique ability to transform complex political issues into thought-provoking humor, Dave has solidified his place as one of the most impactful voices of our time. His work sparks conversations that compel people to examine their own beliefs, proving that in an age where open dialogue is increasingly rare, comedy can be both a powerful truth-teller and a driver of progress.” Chappelle has also received five Primetime Emmy Awards – three for his Netflix comedy specials Equanimity(2018) and Sticks & Stones(2020), and two for hosting Saturday Night Live(2017 and 2021).
