We might not find out where the heck Dave Chappelle's been for the past year, but maybe we'll learn what he'd like to hear God tell him when he arrives at the pearly gates.

If heaven exists, that is.

The at-times reclusive comedian is slated to help mark the 200th episode of Inside the Actors Studio by stepping into James Lipton's pensive shoes and guiding the ever-so-spoofable host through reminiscences of the Bravo series' 14 seasons.

But while we know what the subjects of the two-hour Nov. 10 special have been up to—luminaries such as Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Will Smith and Angelina Jolie—Chappelle was last notably heard from breaking his own stand-up record at Hollywood's Laugh Factory on Dec. 2, 2007.

The former Chappelle's Show frontman performed a six-hour, 12-minute set before again peacing out from the public arena.
