ENTERTAINMENT: Dave Chappelle Wins First Emmy for His ‘SNL’ Trump Monologue / Netflix Shares New Trailer for Psychological Horror-Thriller ‘Gerald’s Game’

Dave Chappelle just brought home his first Emmy – the renowned comedian nabbed the Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series award. That guest appearance was considered by many as, “one of the greatest SNL monologues of all time.” In that popular show intro, Chappelle urged the public to give the newly elected President Trump a chance.
Mr. Chappelle also stated in the monologue that “America’s done it. We’ve actually elected an Internet troll as our president.” Since the famous rant, Chappelle has also released his Netflix specials as well as performed a series of shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York. It’s been a busy year for Chappelle and we’re sure his momentum will continue.

Fresh off the the release of the trailer for Netflix‘s very first serious Oscar contender, the entertainment powerhouse has shared a new preview for Gerald’s Game.
Based on a 1992 suspense novel from Stephen King, Gerald’s Game is a new psychological horror-thriller from director Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Hush) and writer Jeff Howard. The film stars Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, Carel Struycken, Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel and Chiara Aurelia, and is set in a cabin situated in the wilderness of western Maine. Director Mike Flanagan’s “dream project,” Gerald’s Game‘s story revolves around a sex game gone horribly wrong and the paranormal aftermath that terrorizes the woman involved.
“Saw a rough cut of Mike Flanagan’s GERALD’S GAME yesterday. Horrifying, hypnotic, terrific. It’s gonna freak you out,” tweeted Stephen King.
