Did Kay produce his out of pocket then allow Netflix to distribute it, or did Netflix approach him to finance his stand up special? And I see Netflix has doubled down on stupid with another Chappelle one today and a Gervais one released last week. Kevin M.

He's done a number of Netflix specials (the modern equivalent the old 1hr HBO special), has done some TV and VO and has a few film credits to his name, including fronting the file "Easter Sunday" last year. He was also romantically linked to Chelsea Handler for about a year.
