    Re: Chappelle's Getting MORE Irritating

    Dave shouldn't be saying anything. He signed a nice big contract with CC and everyone is waiting to see new episodes. If there are episodes that is supposed to be apart of season 3 then CC needs to air it. If Dave doesn't want them to air then he should be making new ones asap and stop keeping everyone waiting on him.

      Re: Chappelle's Getting MORE Irritating

      The chappelle show was the highest rated show in comedy centrals brief history with a 7 share. The daily show barely gets a 2 share and south park has a very niche audience. Comedy Central has compensated Dave for those shows, but not to the tune of 50 mil, they've already recouped those finances. Dave Pulled out of the deal because of the DVD sales, no one ever envisioned the amount of sales that were being generated. Dave wanted in on the DVD sales and comedy central was not trying to hear it, so he walked on them.

        you know the material will be lacking if it doesnt have the backing of the main artist, dave. i think its a bad move... just another chance to earn money off of him real quickly.

            LOL, this is Dave Chappelle's contract we're talking about, not T.O.'s. Nobody could've predicted or foresaw the huge success of the show on-air or on DVD. I don't blame Chappelle for wanting royalties off of the DVDs--hey, he co-writes and directs it, which is more than what I can say for many other comedians.

            That being said, since he did have direct involvement in those finished, un-aired episodes, then he should have as much say so as CC execs.

              I dont think so. South Park was already "that" show for CC before Chappelle came along. He made them bigger in a way but CC was already pretty popular.

                I think Chappelle signed this contract either after the 1st or 2nd season. CC isn't just going to throw 50 mil around for an unproven show.

                    Ratings, right now, mean absolutely nothing. The statement used was that Chappelle made Comedy Central what it is today.

                    Wrong.

                    The Daily Show and South Park made Comedy Central what it is today and then Chappelle came along and blew up. Before Chappelle's Show, not many people knew who Dave Chappelle was. However, Comedy Central had a strong fan base because of The Daily Show and South Park, and got bigger with Chappelle's success.

                      Who cares about Chappelle? He's extremely overrated and not even very funny to me. Comedy Central would be better off paying a REAL stand up comedian to do a weekly routine.

                      I don't watch the Chappelle show unless I'm channel surfing. He didn't do much for CC in my opinion. They have much better shows.

                        If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                          He's only been doing since he was fourteen. You have to start when you're three to be a REAL stand-up comedian.

                          He's good, and has a funny show. I hope he and the network can get this all worked out and get it on air.

                          I think they should let him complete the season and play all the shows together, but the network can do what they want.

                          Dave shouldn't have just left like that.

                            There are million of fans who think otherwise.

                              Chappelle's shows ratings killed South Park and the Daily Show. I love all three shows but it isnt even close. Also, Chappelle's DVD sales are huge compared to South Park's.

                                Thats not true. He's first contract did not have DVD revenues included. The 50 million dollar contract gave him a percentage of the 1st, half of the second and half of any new seasons revenue. He walked out on the 50 million contract because he couldnt handle his new level of fame, wasnt happy with CC attempting to change the show and their involvement in the show.
