Dave Chappelle is the funniest guy around. If comedy is a
calling, David Chappelle answered it at a very early age. Chappelle began
his career in his native Washington, DC at the age of fourteen. As a
minor, Dave Chappelle's mother, an ordained Unitarian minister, often
accompanied him to gigs. Now twenty-eight, Dave Chappelle no longer needs
a chaperone. Today, Dave Chappelle's gift of laughter extends well beyond
the stand-up circuit. Dave Chappelle movie credits alone include over
eleven major feature film roles. In 2003, Chappelle debuted his own weekly television show on Comedy
Central, Chappelle's Show. His sketch comedy heavily skewers racial
stereotypes and slurs, including Chappelle's African-American heritage.
This, combined with pointed social and political commentary, quickly
gained the show great popularity. By the end of the second season, it was
one of the highest-rated shows on basic cable, and second only to South
Park on Comedy Central. Additionally, the DVD set of the first season became the best-selling DVD
of a television show to date. Due to the show's popularity, Comedy
Central's parent company Viacom reportedly offered Chappelle a $50 million
contract (giving Chappelle a share of DVD sales) to continue production of
Chappelle's Show for two more years while allowing him to do side
projects. Dave Chapelle does the funniest Rick James anyone has ever seen. One of
Chappelle's most widely-known bits has Chappelle portraying late funk
musician Rick James during his drug-abusing years in the Rick James
sketch. "I'm Rick James, Bitch!" - which James himself acknowledged
was a direct quote-has become a part of popular culture, as have many
other Chappelle characters and sketches. Dave Chappelle has also done two parodies of music videos, "Piss On You"
and its remix, which parodies R&B singer R. Kelly's "Feeling on your
Booty", and "Ignition (Remix)". Dave Chappelle stunned fans and the entertainment industry when he
abruptly left during production of the third season of Chappelle's Show.
He spent two weeks in South Africa before returning home to his 65-acre
farm near Yellow Springs, and then returned to standup comedy. His
decision triggered reports that he had mental or drug problems, which he
denied. On May 11, 2005, news sources (most notably Entertainment Weekly) reported
that Chappelle had checked himself into a psychiatric facility in South
Africa. Chappelle denies this. On May 14, 2005, Time Magazine announced
that one of their reporters had interviewed Chappelle in South Africa, and
the comedian said no psychiatric treatments were occurring or necessary. Dave Chappelle reportedly went to South Africa to purify himself and to do
some soul searching. Chappelle has also said he was unhappy with the
direction of his show. He has recently claimed that he felt pressured by
network executives regarding the show's content. On August 3, 2005, co-star Charlie Murphy (brother of comedian Eddie
Murphy) gave an interview to TV Guide stating that he believed that Dave
Chappelle was finished with Chappelle's Show and would not be returning.
Although Chappelle might have been done with filming the show, Comedy
Central had reported that they were to release the un-aired sketches of
the third season of Chappelle's Show into a couple of half hour episodes
in mid-2006. A season three trailer was shown on Comedy Central during
their Last Laugh '05 and then on their web site. Dave Chappelle himself, however, has expressed disdain at the possibility
of his material from the unfinished third season being aired, saying not
only does he feel that it is "a bully move", but also that he would not
return to the show if Comedy Central were to air the unfinished material. Dave Chapelle's shows to see day light. Comedy Central announced plans to
air Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes on July 9, 2006. An uncensored DVD
release of the episodes will be available on July 25, 2006. Chappelle has
made no comment on the release of the unaired episodes. Dave Chappelle wrote and is featured in a Michel Gondry-directed film
titled Dave Chappelle's Block Party that chronicles a Chappelle-hosted
event, from September 2004, in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of
Brooklyn, New York City. The highlight of the event was the reunion of
popular '90s rap group The Fugees. Chappelle toured several cities in
February and March 2006 to promote the film under the moniker "Block Party
All-Stars featuring Dave Chappelle." The movie was released on March 3,
2006. This confidential form was created so our booking agents can get a clear understanding of your specific needs, demographics, budgets, etc. so they can better assist you.
