Chappelle Meets With Comedy Central Execs

Archive

Dave Chappelle met with executives at Comedy Central for the first time since his “spiritual retreat” in South Africa forced the suspension of production of the third season of his show.

Comedy Central President Doug Herzog met with Chappelle Friday in Los Angeles, network spokesman Tony Fox said.

Representatives for Fox and Chappelle would not expand on what was said, just confirming that the meeting was held.

Chappelle found time for two unannounced performances at a comedy club in Los Angeles last week. He has said he left for South Africa because he didn’t like the direction of his show.

Meanwhile, Comedy Central sold another 400,000 copies last week of the DVD of the show’s second season. The first season’s DVD has sold 2.9 million copies, the biggest-selling DVD of a TV series of all time.
