Whats going on in Hollywood?

He's stated examples like this several times. Apparently, he walked away from the Comedy Central show because certain people were wanting him to inject messages and material into his show that they wouldn't elaborate on.
 
^Good on Dave for sticking to his principles and not letting it happen.


Also, seeing as how Hollywood is disproportionately white, why am I having such a hard time coming up with more than one or two white male actors who have dressed in drag in the last decade? I mean, basically every single black male over the last decade has done it, so where are the white males in drag? I mean, if you believe Dave is out of his mind and that it's just for comedy relief and everyone does it, then there should be quite of few white males doing it, right? Right?
 
Obligatory "Please Dave, find another way to get us a spiritual successor of the Chappelle Show, the greatest comedy sketch show of all time" post.

And yeah Dave has been pretty open about this stuff in the past. Everyone knows shit like this goes on, to different degrees.

i always thought he walked away because he started to question where the laughs were coming from.

Because it hasn't attracted white audiences since Bosom Buddies and Tootsie? They tried a couple times with things like Sorority Boys and The Hot Chick, and will again with Adam Sandler in Jack and Jill.

Also, this is weird: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4bJr_gY2E0#t=4m34

He's talked about it in his stand up, on Oprah, and on Inside the Actor's studio. It's a combination of things. He would go to places like Disneyland with his wife and children and fans would go up to him and say, "I'm Rick James, bitch!" He just got sick of it. Not to mention that he would do stand up and he would get heckled with nonstop one liners from his television show.

He's also has gone into detail about why he left 50 million dollars on the table. When they started pre production on the new season he was visited by studio heads that tried to get him to change skits he wrote by injecting messages into the material or drastically changing the skits altogether. Finally, he got sick of it, quit, and went to Africa.

He's obviously seen some things that he won't come out and say directly.
 
You have to make some pretty fucking huge logical leaps to get from that video to homosexual conspiracies in Hollywood.

Hey! Its not a Hollywood homosexual conspiracy, its a Freemason Hollywood homosexual conspiracy.

A Hollywood insider who not long ago was huge and privy to the real Hollywood behind the scenes type shit, says something weird is going on...


That is what should get you thinking about it, or at least considering that it could possibly be true.

The video was just someone providing a visual to back the insider's comments.

Doesn't prove anythign either way, but a true insider would have insight that outsiders would never have, right? I wouldn't doubt he's seen shit he'd rather just forget.

Not to mention that his name was intentionally slandered after he left the show. They said he was in rehab, in a mental institute, a crack addict, and mentally ill.

Did he even say that? He mentions that he finds it weird that some black actors wear dresses for comedic effect. Guess what? Most white comedic actors have done the same thing. I guess Monty Python was one giant homosexual cabal. And what would that even be indicative of? Do you really believe every writer and producer in Hollywood for the past 40+ years is part of some secret society whose mission statement is do get dudes in dresses?
 
Who knows what crazy shit he has seen and now keeps quiet out of fear. They destroyed him mentally when it looked like he was about to talk and had him deported. One can only imagine the deep shit he was privy too.
 
There has been a lot of white actors that do it:

Robin Williams
John Travolta
Tim Curry
Dustin Hoffman
Jude Law
Steve Martin
Patrick Swayze
Tom Hanks
Hugo Weaving
Guy Pearce
Terence Stamp
Some Nikelodeon/Disney shows with white males.
etc.

Tyler Perry will tour the states in it.

I doubt this is some hollywood conspiracy.
 
As far as what's going on in Hollywood, right now it's a bit cloudy outside.

And holy fuck, has no one seen "Some Like It Hot" or even one of the flicks from the YouTube vid called "To Wong Foo: Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar"?

Well, he wasn't deported. He left the country on his own accord. Now, you want to talk strange? He didn't even tell his wife where he was going yet people knew his whereabouts almost immediately.

Someone sees him on a plane, person knows the destination of the plane, tells someone who tells someone, it gets to the media.

ZOMG CONSPIRACY

I'm pretty sure he flew privately. See, this is what he discusses in Inside the Actor's studio. Calling someone crazy completely destroys a person because it's dismissive. He doesn't strike me as crazy and I have a feeling he's seen some things that he won't come out and say directly out of fear. I think it's funny that the two times he's turned his back on Hollywood he's had his name completely slandered.

Unless he flat out says what exactly people wanted him to inject into the show most people won't believe it unfortunately. Dave has no reason to make things up, he's not in the spotlight by his decisions, and they did try to paint him as a wacko when he walked away. All the best to Dave down the road, and people definitely do miss his comedy.
 
It's always depressing when I see reminders of what a weird homophobe/tinfoil hat theorist Dave Chapelle can be. Some of his sketches were pure genius.

I remember this site coming out when it all went down. I still have nightmares of waking up with Oprah at the foot of my bed.


It sounds like he was just having the worst sleep paralysis ever. The whole "weight on the chest" thing, unable to move. All I know is that he didn't quit for a lack of talent. Whether it was depression or a grand conspiracy of the black elite, it sucks.

My thoughts exactly.

ok, i was wondering why I was wondering what the fuck you guys were talking about, then I remember this:

http://davechappelletheory.com/


possibly the most riveting read on the internet, real or not


Oprah Winfrey leaned forward and whispered in my ear "you better watch your step — we're representing interests more powerful than you can imagine. You do remember that Farrakhan killed Malcom, and that Cosby, Johnson and I have more money than God — we can keep this harassment up forever. Is this what you want your life to be like Dave?"

Yeah, Oprah is pure evil.

"On Tuesday, while watching an episode of the Oprah Winfrey show, Chappelle recalled being completely stunned when Winfrey turned to the camera in the middle of interviewing Tom Cruise and said "Dave Chappelle, you should be ashamed of yourself for airing that Niggars sketch on your show this week, I'm going to make sure you never work in Hollywood again."

The image, allegedly taped by Winfrey, and transmitted to Chappelle's house under the direction of Robert L. Johnson who called in some favors with Chappelle's local affiliate station manager, terrified Chappelle."
