Dave Chapelle To Reveal All On Oprah Today

[Frank Giaramita]

Today on Oprah Winfrey, comedian Dave Chapelle will reveal the truth (http://www.hollywood.com/news/detail/id/3478421) behind his sudden disappearance from the entertainment industry and what caused him to walk away from his $50 million television contract.

[Jared Kaufman]

Um, I thought she (http://www.chappelletheory.com) was one of the reasons he quit?

[DroppedUrPocket]

Haha. This is going to be great. I'm actually glad that my mom DVRs Oprah, for once.

I don't believe that thing for a second.

[HoboAdam]

i have a feeling this is all been a joke and he is going to say its a joke bitch and everybody will fall in love with him again

[tedE]

Hmm, wonder if Dave will do anything to put Tom Cruise's crazy act to shame.

[ACA]

I'll have to download this or find a transcript.

[leocorrea]

what time does Oprah come on?

[fromwithin]

she probably forced him to come on so she could clear her name from the theory.

[DroppedUrPocket]

The Pregnancy skit will definitely come up, and it will be glorious.

[wiReZ]

The Pregnancy skit will definitely come up, and it will be glorious.

haha, i totally forgot about that.

[Jared Kaufman]

I don't believe that thing for a second.
Haha. I was being way beyond sarcastic.

Oprah asks Dave the $50 million question…will he ever return to Chappelle's Show?

Like a pendulum, Dave says his attitude has swung back and forth between "I'll never go back" to "I can't walk away from $50 million" over the last few months. Dave says he thinks he's finally come to a decision.

"Here's a scenario that I could come back to the show—I can't believe I'm saying this—but this is what I want to do," he says. "I do want to do my show again provided, one, I can make the proper work environment. But more importantly, I want to give. … I don't want the money. I don't want the drama. I just want to do my show. I want to have fun again."

Ideally, Dave would like to work out a deal that guarantees that half of the revenue from his DVD sales would go to help people in need. "How awesome would that be if people buy the DVD, they do it for charity?" he asks. "So even if I say something socially irresponsible, [some proceeds would go] to a socially responsible cause."

Now, Dave thinks it's time to get back on set and finish what he started. "We're going to get the proper foundations. We're going to figure it out. I get a little heated when I talk about the past. But I wanted to be clear—I'm not mad at anybody—not anymore."

[DeathCabForCoon]

He should do the interview dressed as Rick James, or Prince

way to ruin it... sort of

[In Dolorosa]

Um, I thought she (http://www.chappelletheory.com) was one of the reasons he quit?

it's all part of the plan,
muhaha

[fromwithin]

way to ruin it... sort of

so....its good news, now you dont HAVE to watch. its for the people who couldnt watch it, more or less.

[ACA]

Nice to see a fellow human admitting he doesn't NEED $50M. There are people dying of disease, hunger, and injustice, and I'm glad he is doing the right thing. I think it's great when people in positions of wealth do this.. maybe he can spark something for other people to do the same.

He should probably give some of that to the baby on the corner selling weed, though :P

[Nate_RAWKS]

I'll be watching this for sure.

[ReturningSunday]

actually all comedy central planned to air was the very few episodes that they had taped before he ran away from everything.

[FstFtsVsFences]

They also reshow it at one in the morning. if it's a good episode, i sometimes watch it twice haha.

[chroma23]

So basically he was frustrated everyone thought he was crazy, and he felt manipulated by the business. Too much pressure.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

hmm

[ForsakenProdigy]

He sounded incoherent and crazy on Oprah, trailing off, looking down all the time, Oprah was the one having to clarify everything he was trying to say to the audience.

[intoyourarms]

she probably forced him to come on so she could clear her name from the theory.

or paid his ass millions to come on tv and lie.

[heytheredelilah]

He listens to Coldplay.

[Evolution Kid]

jimmy kimmel recut the episode lasts night so that dave would come on to the stage, sit down, and then when oprah asked why he walked way from $5o mil, he disappeared. I thought it was kind of funny.
