Dave Chappelle on Oprah...

Post by **robfharris** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 5:53 am

"The Oprah Winfrey Show" use to be "AM Chicago", your usual local morning talk show and still holds the 9am spot. Luckily I'm home to watch this... YOU ALL SHOULD TOO. Since Oprah airs in the afternoon/evenings in most markets I've visited you should all be able to mark out a part of your day to see it. INTERESTING!!!!
We'll discuss later.

bingolong,

Oprah: You walked away from a $50 million contract with Comedy Central. Why?

Dave: I was high! Shit... I said 'Ricky Williams can do it, so can I!' Did you know the soil in Africa grows buds as big as your fist? Well, my fist... Not yours... Your fist has got big... You had the muchies too?"

So are you ready to talk about it? I got friends in the central time zone(and hour behind the eastern time zone for you dummies) that are watching it now and about to call me in 45 minutes or so (wow somebody just called me during commercial break)

But it looks like he will be back!!!! What do you think?B-)

You're going to be glad you taped it... wait until you get to the end.

robfharris,
Yeah Naw I have seen it in my time zone..and I taped it!! I don't think he was high but as my homie just pointed out who is watching now said he think he was choicy with his words.But we have seen this happen to alot of comics as he pointed out with Martin and Mariah ...he is that nigga now and stardom is a bitch!!!!

Looks like he going to come back and do the show which like a box of positives is a plus !!!I felt him on what he said about Neil not having his back...I heard they had broke off their writing partnership but it looked like even Oprah was trying to get them back together to work it out (I thought he was about to come out!!!)

bingolong,
I loved his honesty. He came with it. Yeah the fame was TOO much. Fame and love are two different things, he knows he was the "nigga of the moment", all the people running up on him now will be gone when they find someone new.
I think he wants to do it on his terms and he should... I think he sees it's not about the money if your souls not right about it.
I also like him wanting to send money directly to specific organizations, so "THE PEOPLE" can really benefit from this.

robfharris,
"...so even if I say something socially responsible it's going to a socially responsible cause..."

I feel him on that,but that nigga better keep that money or I am going to think he is really crazy!!!!!

...he made alot of good points though, but the buzz on the streets (ok the two or three people I have talked to so far) is "I will believe it when I see it"
