Phil Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 http://www.ifc.com/news/2011/06/dave-chappelle-new-show.php Dave Chappelle is planning his comeback. Maybe. Six years after shutting down production on his hilarious "Chapelle Show," the comic is rumored to be starting production on a new show. However, the rumor mill has it that the controversial comedian does not want to return to network television, and is instead hoping to air the show on a subscription service such as Netflix or Hulu. Fans (and undoubtedly the network) were shocked when Chappelle famously flamed out on his old show, seemingly out of the blue. Chappelle walked out weeks before production started on the third season. Citing a lack of creative freedom, not only did he bail on the hit show, but also on the a $50 million dollar contract that went with it. Instead of showing up to work, he fled to Africa and then went on Oprah, as one does. Since then he's been living a low-key life and performing a string of stand-up gigs. Now it seems he may be ready to get back in the TV game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The word genius gets used way to often, but Chappelle was a comedic genius. His comedy crossed all barriers of age, gender, race, etc. The guy is honestly one of the most gifted people on the planet when writing comedy. I hope he comes back.
