Dave Chappelle doesn’t want his fans to watch his Show “The Dave Chappelle show”
Earlier this month, the comedian took a beat during his post-election Saturday Night Live monologue to let viewers know that although his old Comedy Central program was available to stream on HBO Max and Netflix, he wasn’t being paid for it. ViacomCBS owns the show—and Chappelle insists that his old contract with the company screwed him out of a rightful paycheck for the show he created, starred in, and produced.In an impassioned monologue posted to his Instagram account Tuesday, the comedian said he was never properly paid for Chappelle’s Show. Now, he said, he wants what he is owed.
Netflix removed “Chappelle’s Show” from the streaming service at his request, and he explained why with a video posted to Instagram from his stand-up set.
In the 18-minute video titled “Unforgiven,” Dave started out telling a story of an older comedian “borrowing” a joke from him when he was 15 and then intimidating him when Dave asked to get his joke back. After the story, Dave told the audience, “I don’t think about it every day because that was the worst thing that happened to me. I think about it every day because that was the first time someone ever did that to me. But in my career, it has happened many, many times since.”
Dave went on to share stories about money and deception, and he spoke about Netflix and HBO Max’s announcement about streaming the Chappelle’s Show. He explained that he got the news the day before he was supposed to host Saturday Night Live, and Dave revealed that HBO rudely turned down his pitch for the show before he took it to Comedy Central. Dave then stated that he didn’t get royalties from his hit show after he left, per his contract.
Dave then stated, “If you are streaming that show, you’re fencing stolen goods. They stole that from me. They just took it. This f**king industry is a monster.”
