Dave Chappelle on Quitting His Show

[Dpantherman]

I wish he could snag a deal with an HBO for example. He's a smart dude.

If you've never seen "Inside the Actor's Studio" with Chapelle you should Google it and watch it... If you have an hour. He talks about why he walked away from the money. If I remember correctly it had a lot to do with the pressure of continuing on the level that his comedy was on. He pretty much broke down from it.

It was fantastic. He had a cigarette the whole time. He's a great interview. There's another when he interviewed James Lipton

I think I've watched pretty much every Chappelle youtube video that is out there, lol.  He's not only my favorite comedian of all-time, but he's also one of my favorite entertainers of all-time.  I relate to him a lot, and he's really, really smart...  wise beyond his years.  If you haven't already, look up the story about when he told his dad that he was going to become a comedian...  It's one of those things that make you re-evaluate your perspective on things (if you hadn't already).

 

I hope he does find a way back onto TV.  I've watched gigs he's done since he left the show and he's never missed a beat, nor would I expect him to.  Perhaps everything is falling in line for something to happen...  For those of you that don't know, his longtime best friend and writing buddy Neal Brennan (who was the other guy behind Chappelle Show) just had a standup special on Comedy Central within the last few months.  It was really hilarious...  Anyway, when Dave left the show, they apparently weren't talking and had a sort of falling out afterwards.  But in recent interviews, Neal said they have actually started to patch things up and talk regularly again now.

I think Dave was just tired, because I think he looked better on the Tonight show last night

Breenan's special was hilarious

I wonder how great he could've become had he never left.

Clayton Bigsby......the black white supremacist was comedy gold. Charlie Murphy talking about his basketball game with Prince was great as well. Rick James was priceless.
