Lipton's studious research and enlightened curiosity has inspired his guests to open up and confess their deepest thoughts about their craft since the series premiere in 1994. Dave Chappelle appeared as a guest on Inside The Actors Studio, shortly after his dramatic exit from Chappelle's Show and his pilgrimage to Africa. Upon his return to America, he chose the freedom of this show to reveal why he was able to walk away from TV riches—and what was revealed to him in Africa. The sometimes hilarious, often touching and always intriguing answers to these questions are waiting here in this Emmy-nominated episode.]]> .com Dave Chappelle's outstanding appearance on Inside the Actor's Studio is certainly one of the high points on that long-running interview series. Not long after his surprising exit from a hugely-successful show on Comedy Central, followed by a trip to Africa that became shrouded in media speculation about the comic's sanity, Chappelle agreed to talk to host James Lipton. Appearing before one of Lipton's typically educated crowds of acting students and others in the performing arts (a flight delay forced the guest to keep them all waiting four hours), Chappelle talks about his early life as a reluctant student yet inspired and daring son of progressive academics. His discovery at age 14 of his life's mission—comedy—is actually thrilling to hear described, as are subsequent anecdotes about feeling the joy of an audience's goodwill (and surviving their collective animosity at times). Chappelle talks about his early TV work and forays into film (he says cracking up Eddie Murphy on the set of The Nutty Professor meant more to him than awards ever could). He discusses his disappointment with the feature, Half-Baked, but how his partnership with co-writer Neal Brennan on that film eventually led to monster hit Chappelle's Show. Most powerful is Chappelle's serious cultural commentary about the extraordinary career and media pressures that can make even the strongest people in showbiz do the unexpected at times—and then be dismissed as crazy. And, yes, he does go into the poignant reasons that caused him to walk away from a $50 million third season on Chappelle's Show. A very funny, smart, and satisfying session. --Tom Keogh ## Images ![Inside The Actors Studio: Dave Chappelle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/317e2YFeqbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Piece of Work *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2014* Enjoy this man while we still have him on this earth. Enjoyed this piece because he does give glimpses without going into too much detail about how the industry really works. Respect this man for not selling out and being another pawn/puppet...we have enough of them already. $50 million is hard to turn down. Just glad he came back from Africa safely without contracting AIDS or being "Patrice Lumumba-ed" ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ smart, funny *by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018* If you thought you knew or felt you knew what Mr. Chappelle was all about this will certainly change your view of him. Insightful, smart, funny, and definately shows a strong man with morals and integrity. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't even think about NOT buying this! *by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2011* If you are any degree of Dave Chappelle fan, you need this. Who else can pull off being hilarious and serious at the same time so well? You'll learn about how he got into being a comedian and why he quit Chappelle's Show, etc... It's not at all your average "I got made fun of a lot in high school, but I wasn't going to let it bother me! I just reached for the stars!" crap!
