Chappelle won the award over fellow nominees Patton Oswalt (Annihilation), Fred Armisen (Standup for Drummers), Chris Rock (Tamborine), and Jim Gaffigan (Noble Ape).

At last year’s Grammys, Chappelle won Best Comedy Album for The Age of Spin & Deep in the Heart of Texas. He took the honor over Jerry Seinfeld, Sarah Silverman, Kevin Hart, and Gaffigan. Chappelle also participated in a Kendrick Lamar performance and called out the Grammys for snubbing A Tribe Called Quest.
