LOS ANGELES -- Dave Chappelle has celebrated Tuesday's release of a pair of Netflix comedy specials with some high-profile friends.

USA Today reports Chappelle hosted a late-night party Monday at a Hollywood club ahead of the specials' release. Kanye West, Kendall Jenner and Stevie Wonder were among those in attendance.

The newspaper reports Chappelle did some stand-up and Wonder took the stage afterward to sing "Uptight (Everything's Alright)." Actors Tobey Maguire and Don Cheadle were among those who attended a party following the show.

Chappelle's specials "Deep in the Heart of Texas" and "The Age of Spin" are part of a US$60 million deal between the comedian and the streaming service announced in November.
