Rumormonger: Is Dave Chappelle Returning to Television?

In short, no. James Hibberd has the details at the Entertainment Weekly website.

The longer answer, apparently, is that Chappelle is looking for some sort of video outlet for a new show of which no details are being shared at the moment. Names being bandied about include Hulu, Crackle, Netflix ... others that will provide him with more creative freedom.

More? It's just me reminiscing, but I'm pretty sure he had a huge amount of creative control on the Comedy Central show. From what I remember that wasn't Chappelle's issue at the time. What was troubling Dave was that people like me (caucasian) were laughing at the stuff he was doing, but apparently not in a way that Dave appreciated.

I've never really understood what that meant. I thought people of the same mind regarding the issues addressed in the Chappelle sketches would laugh in the same places for pretty much the same reasons.

Now I believe I am of the same mind as Chappelle on those issues but maybe he doesn't feel the same way.

I'm still kinda pissed off about Chappelle's turning on Neal Brennan, without whom he would not have had all that success. I hear Chappelle is still slamming Neal in his standup act, which is pretty juvenile if you ask me.

So if Dave is starting a new project I don't really know how interested I am in watching it. I'm not sure that Chappelle wants me to be his audience anyway. He seems to have developed an interest in only a certain kind of person watching his work and I'm not that kind of person.

I know when I'm not wanted.
