Dave Chappelle Scheduled to Make a Rare TV Appearance
After abruptly leaving his popular Comedy Central show during the production of the third season, comedian Dave Chappelle has been very rarely heard from. He cropped up in comedy clubs and once on HBO before staging a marathon stand-up session at the famous Laugh Factory in Hollywood . The performance went on an amazing six hours and twelve minutes.
By his own admission, Chappelle has always put his stand-up comedy first. He reportedly grew so annoyed with an audience in Sacramento, California that he stormed off the stage when they repeatedly cried out his famous catchphrase from Chappelle’s Show. The incident occurred during the height of the show’s popularity, in the summer of 2004. After storming off the stage, Chappelle returned to say “the show is ruining my life” and to lambaste the audience.
Later, Chappelle mysteriously left his show to visit Africa. The trip gave rise to rumors of substance abuse, allegations Chappelle has denied.
Since his December, 2007 comedy stunt in Hollywood, Chappelle has remained off the radar. Until now.
Chappelle is scheduled to make his second appearance on Inside the Actors Studio (he also appeared in 2005). The episode (scheduled to air Novembe 10) will celebrate the 200th episode of the Bravo series and take up two solid hours of programming. For this special event, Chappelle will co-host along with James Lipton. The two will discuss famous Hollywood citizens such as Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie.

Not to be mean to Charlie Murphy but come on its Charlie Murphy. I bet Chappelle comes around and gets that $$$ call. Look at Ricky Williams, he was out of football for a full year but decided to come bakc for the money. I bet its back at some point…

Very true. I mean, no offence to Charlie Murphy, but he’s no Comedy Central CEO or anything. He’s just a co-actor.. He can talk about his own work with the show being finished, but for him to have a say-so in the fate of the show…?

I hope it comes back but I can see how it grew bigger than Chappelle could handle. Thats a lot of pressure on a guy that has always been very reclusive. I mean there is no way anyone thought it would be as huge as it became and such a wide group of people. From frat boys to kids to old farts like me
