Dave Chappelle

After abruptly leaving his popular 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 (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.

Cast of Survivor: Gabon

With the premiere now just days away, it’s time to familiarize ourselves with the next round of castaways.

For the program’s 17th installment, the reality show will be kicking things up a notch. This season, the contestants will be “battling extreme conditions and interacting with wildlife such as elephants and gorillas” during their stay in Gabon. The filthy castaways will also have all of their flaws exposed in high-definition. (That’s a first for the long-running series.)

Host says the African locale is the perfect setting for the contest we will be seeing this year. “In a strange coincidence to Earth’s Last Eden—good vs. evil emerges as a major theme this season. I think the audience will quickly identify with one group or the other.”

The Amazing Race

Instead of venturing to a new destination, the remaining eight teams stayed in Burkina Faso for their latest round of adventures.  In other words – the episode was surprisingly airport-free.

Having reached the last pit stop in first place, Azaria and Hendekea had the honor of kicking off the next leg of .  Their first mission was to follow a marked path to a nearby village.  There, the teams would find a tribal chief waiting with a clue….and a live chicken.  The birds – a customary gift of generosity – was something the teams had to take with them during their travels.  (They would not be allowed to ‘check-in’ without their ‘chicken’.)  Shana and Jennifer opted to name their new pet ‘Phil’; something about its spiky hairdo reminded them of the ‘cute’ host.

The Amazing Race: Season 12: “Please, Lord, Give Me Milk”

The Amazing Race

While eight teams were taking advantage of their mandatory rest period in Amsterdam, one team was seeking medical attention.  As a result of the last grueling bike ride, Ronald suffered a painful hernia.  (It was unclear whether he blamed his heavy daughter at any point for the predicament.)  Fortunately, a doctor was able at least offer a temporary solution for the cranky father.

The next morning, Lorena and Jason kicked off the departures to the airport.  Next stop: Ouagadougou.  While it took a little bit of work to figure out exactly which country they were actually heading to (answer: Burkina Faso), all of the teams managed to pinpoint their destination.  Unfortunately, flights to the West African country were few and far between, so it was important to secure seats asap.  Despite a very close call for Christina and the hernia patient, eight of the nine teams were able to snag an 8am departure.
