The 27-minute monologue is entitled '8:46,' which is the amount of time former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was filmed kneeling on George Floyd's neck before he died

- Dave Chappelle dropped a surprise special Thursday night in which he searingly addresses the death of George Floyd and the aftermath.

"This man kneeled on a man's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Can you imagine that?!" Chappelle says during his standup."This kid thought he was going to die, he knew he was going to die. He called for his dead mother."Right off the bat, Chappelle acknowledges that the socially-distanced performance, which was filmed on June 6 in Yellow Springs, Ohio, is"weird and less than ideal circumstances to do a show.

"What are you signifying that you can kneel on a man's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds and feel like you wouldn't get the wrath of God?" Chappelle said."That's what is happening right now. It's not for a single cop, it's for all of it."
