Chappelle Talks Business
Dave Chappelle is apparently ready to get back to business.
The comedian met with Comedy Central President Doug Herzog Friday in Los Angeles for the first time since flying the coop for the South African "spiritual retreat" that effectively forced production on the third season of Chappelle's Show to shut down indefinitely.
Comedy Central spokesman Tony Fox did not reveal any details of the meeting, including when--or if--Chappelle would return to the network.
However, under the terms of the $50 million contract Chappelle signed last summer, he's supposedly locked into a production deal with the network through 2006.
Last month, Herzog said he did not expect Chappelle's Show to return to Comedy Central this year. The third season of the show was to have premiered on May 31.
Chappelle has denied rumors that his unscheduled vacation was the result of drug or psychiatric problems.
The comedian told Time magazine that he was "stressed out" and did not like the creative direction of his show, so he decided to "take a minute and pull a Flintstone--stop a speeding car by using my bare feet as the brakes."
Last month, Chappelle resurfaced in his hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio, where he spent time before returning to Los Angeles last week.
Once he touched down at the airport in L.A., Chappelle seemed ready for action, heading straight from the runway to the stage.
To the surprise of audiences at two local comedy clubs, the comic took the stage for a pair of impromptu standup sets a week ago, explaining that he had simply felt like performing.
On Monday, the comedian made another surprise appearance at Los Angeles' House of Blues, during a performance by rapper Common.
Along with Chris Rock, Chappelle took the stage and thanked the crowd for making Common's new album, Be, a commercial success, then requested that Common perform his "favorite song on the new album," a number called "The Food," which Common had performed on Chappelle's Show with Kanye West--presumably before production was halted.
Meanwhile, DVDs of the second season of Chappelle's Show have been flying off the shelves, with a total of 1.4 million sold so far. The first season's DVD has sold 2.9 million copies to date, making it the best selling DVD of a TV series of all time.
