The ‘Chappelle’s Show’ Returns to Netflix With Dave Chappelle’s Blessing!
Good news! After the “Chappelle’s Show” was removed from Netflix last November at Dave Chappelle’s request, it will finally be returning to the streaming platform this Friday!
As we previously reported, Chappelle made the big request after allegedly being unable to receive royalties for the show based on a contract he signed with Comedy Central and its parent company, ViacomCBS. On top of that, he also claimed the show had been licensed without his consent!
It appears that they were able to make things right as Chappelle announced Thursday that the show will return after they “paid me millions of dollars,” rightfully so. “I asked you to stop watching the show and thank God almighty for you, you did. You made that show worthless because, without your eyes, it’s nothing,” Chappelle told the audience. “And when you stopped watching it, they called me. And I got my name back and I got my license back and I got my show back and they paid me millions of dollars. Thank you very much.”
The announcement video was recorded at Stubb’s Waller Creek in Austin, Texas, the venue that Chappelle was slated to perform at before catching COVID-19. It ended with a montage of clips from “Chappelle’s Show.”
“Cheers to you forever. I’m riding with you until the wheels fall off.”
