“#Chapp<\/a>elle\u2019s Show Returns to Netflix at Dave Chappelle\u2019s Request<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Chappelle\u2019s Show<\/em> has returned to Netflix after being pulled<\/a> late last year at Dave Chappelle\u2019s request, as The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> notes<\/a>. Shortly before its removal, Chappelle had posted a lengthy video<\/a> in which he claimed he \u201cnever got paid\u201d after leaving the Comedy Central show, saying he was \u201cfurious\u201d that it was coming to Netflix. Yesterday (February 11), Chappelle<\/a> and Netflix posted a new video announcing the show\u2019s return to the service. Chappelle says Comedy Central agreed to return his license and pay him \u201cmillions of dollars.\u201d Watch the 10-minute clip, shot during a recent stand-up show, below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chappelle tells the crowd, \u201cI 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\u2019s nothing. 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He thanks Netflix and Comedy Central owners ViacomCBS before concluding, \u201cAfter all these years, I can finally say to Comedy Central: \u2018It\u2019s been a pleasure doing business with you.\u2019\u201d He also discusses his coronavirus diagnosis and the Capitol riots in the clip.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chappelle originally walked away from the show in 2005 and, disenchanted with the TV industry, retreated from public life<\/a>. The video marks the resolution of a 15-year dispute. Chris McCarthy, president\u00a0of the MTV Entertainment Group at ViacomCBS, which owns Comedy Central, writes in a statement: \u201cDave Chappelle is one of the greatest comedia<\/a>ns of our time and a defining voice of the Comedy Central brand.\u00a0After speaking with Dave, I am happy we were able to make things right.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Netflix removed the show in November, HBO followed suit. Casey Bloys, the chief content officer of HBO and HBO Max, told Variety<\/em><\/a> at the time, \u201cWe had a conversation with Dave. I won\u2019t get into it, but it\u2019s very clear that it\u2019s a very unique and specific and emotional issue he\u2019s got.\u201d Pitchfork has emailed HBO Max representatives for comment on whether the show will return, as well as Comedy Central reps.<\/p>\n
