ON JANUARY 7th:

WATCH DAVE CHAPPELLE RECEIVE THE 2019 MARK TWAIN PRIZE, PBS 8:00PM. The ceremony (filmed last October) features tributes from Tiffany Haddish, Aziz Ansari, and Jon Stewart, who says of first seeing the 17-year-old Chappelle on stage: “You’d think we’d have nothing but anger for this young prodigy, this Mozart… but we loved him for the kindness of his spirit.”

NEW LAWS ARE IN EFFECT ACROSS THE COUNTRY—including a minimum wage increase to $15/hour (or more) in 72 jurisdictions; California’s Consumer Privacy Act, allows residents to demand that companies disclose and delete personal data; and The Crown Act (also in CA) which now makes it illegal to enforce grooming codes that don’t allow African-Americans employees to wear afros, braids, twists or locks.

YOU’VE ONLY GOT FIVE DAYS LEFT TO SEE BROADWAY’S FREESTYLE LOVE SUPREME. The high-energy blend of improvisation and hip-hop conceived by Lin-Manuel Miranda (of Hamilton fame) closes Sunday. Booth Theatre, 222 West 45th Street.
