Chapelle - Toyota Yaris Forums

Saw him live in Cleveland last night. It was awesome... outdoor venue and they were taping it for something, probably a DVD. I was like 15 rows back. He had some interesting stuff to say about Hollywood and why he was kind of taking a break. He said HBO offered him a deal worth some ungodly amount of money and he likened it to someone bringing you into a room and saying "Here's 50 million bucks, its all yours!" and then putting their... um, "junk" on top of it. Hahaha! He apparently chose to pass on the money.

Yep, that's why Chapelle: The Lost Episodes is showing on Comedy Central with his buddies instead of him. He fought to have those skits never shown but obviously didn't win. They offered him a ton of money, too.
Maybe him turning down HBO is why we instead see a Dane Cook show. Booooooring. I have no desire to see comedians in a reality show not being funny (even though attempting to).

I tried to like Chapelle, but I just can't. Kept hearing how great it was at work, but it did nothing but bore me to tears. Just not my kind of humor, I guess.
