Dave Chappelle — Netflix/YouTube “specials”
I remember when “8:46” was posted and watched that. I didn’t realize he did a few more. These are posted on his IG or Netflix’s YouTube.
I thought maybe there was discussion about that one in an older Netflix special thread but I don’t see it. So I’ll post these here in order of newest to oldest.

Glad Netflix paid him “millions” for a contract he signed while on Comedy Central and fled the Country after doing so screwing over EVERYONE involved in his show.

You also got the story completely wrong. Netflix paid him millions for comedy specials. That had nothing to do when he was on Comedy Central. He didn't sign that deal with Netflix until many, many years later. He resolved the issue with CC licensing out the show to Netflix and HBO Max by paying Dave money. But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative.

But if he was white it would be no big deal, right? Just a misunderstanding, probably.

Thankfully now Chappelle is out of material since this is all he ever talks about. How they screwed a very seasoned black man with specials and shows before his Cc one with tons of lawyers and agents by his side. Riiiight

Plenty of facts out there. He, with a ton of lawyers, agreed to a contract and later FLED the country leaving hundreds out of jobs. He whined like a little kid and got Netflix to “pay him” (this part just happened) what he feels he was owed for leaving a contract at Comedy Central and destroying a potential goldmine of a show.

man you really need to do research. Netflix didn't pay him shit for his old show. Viacom paid him. Here, read this. It should clear it up for you so you can make a more informed argument next time: https://www.

It’s disgusting when many are out of jobs to have this guy not only do live shows, call out COVID, get COVID, and whine a that he already have 100+ million and needs more.
The good thing is he can’t complain anymore and will need to find new content. This is literally all he talks about.

Read. The. Fucking. Article. Proves you wrong. I see you conveniently moved the goalposts in your argument.
Whatever, though. He is funny and I will support him. You can go back to not supporting him and talking shit on the internet.

Gizmo, if you don't like Chappelle, then you know, you don't have to watch him. If you have such an issue with Netflix paying him for his work, maybe cancel your Netflix subscription or something?
I am pretty sure we all have comedians or performers we don't like. We just don't keep bumping threads to talk about how much we hate them. Unless they get elected President or something, it's pretty easy to avoid them and their work.

Did WB pay him too because it’s back on HBO Max as well.
