Dave Chappelle on Oprah

[RoXer]

I'm too lazy to find a link.

But Chappelle made his first public appearance on Oprah today. Basically got to explain his side of the story and whatnot.

Look for a link, I'm leaving.

[Boomer]

I Tivo'd it. It was alright.

Pretty much what you want to know.

[samichna]

Good read. Meant to watch it cause I didn't want to have to read about it though. :mad:

[Buzzkill]

He sounded like Kanye West before saying that george bush doesnt care about black people

[Rob]

Stressed over $50 million? Fuck off! Swap lives with me you cunt. You don't know what stress is.

[Triple A]

OK Rob Harvey.

[YOUR Hero]

Rob, I'm sure he knows stress in a whole different manner than you or I could ever imagine.

[The Heat]

I seen this on Oprah last Friday. I usually don't watch, but, I had seen the preview on Thursday and wanted to hear the explaination.

If you ask me, Chappelle came off sounding like he wanted more money. I understand the stress deal though. I could only imagine what doing a $50 million TV show would be like[hectic, I'm sure].

It'll be interesting to see if Comedy Central responds or takes Chappelle back....

What I hate about this is that it means the whole conspiracy theory someone posted here was FALSE! :(

[BlackDawn2024]

I used to praise Chapelle for being the most original, underrated comic on the planet. And Chapelle's Show was just fucking hilarious. But now, he's just a whiney little bitch. He's just like Chris Rock now. Nothing but complain and moan and whine. What happens to people when they go to Africa? Every time someone goes to Africa, they come back as a whiney, complaining, bitchy, asshole. Both Rock and Chapelle are way too preachy in their shows now.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

All sunshine and smiles in Africa. I don't see how they could be bitchy either.

[Rob]

Rob, I'm sure he knows stress in a whole different manner than you or I could ever imagine.

He probably does. But if he loses his job it means nothing. If I lose mine, 3 people go without food and clothes and probably without a home. My heart bleeds for him though.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

How's the view on that pedestal?

[AlphaBean]

He probably does. But if he loses his job it means nothing. If I lose mine, 3 people go without food and clothes and probably without a home. My heart bleeds for him though.

Well, to his credit, he has a family to provide for, also... he just happens to make more than "just enough to squeak by." Makes you kind of wish you had chosen a better career path, doesn't it? I mean, God forbid you lose your job... your family will be fucked because you're stuck making minimum wage.

[YOUR Hero]

Why shouldn't he bitch though? If people around him are manipulating him in ways he's uncomfortable with, he should bitch. Just because he's making tons of cash doesn't mean he gives up the right to speak his mind.
