In a recently posted stand-up called “Unforgiven,” Chappelle told the story of how he called Netflix to express how upset he was they the streamer had all of the “Chappelle’s Show” episodes. Chappelle makes no money off the show since it is owned by Comedy Central, which is owned by CBS/Viacom. Not wanting to lose Chappelle as a content creator, Netflix pulled the episodes at his request. HBO Max still has “Chappelle’s Show” on its service. Chappelle said he pitched “Chappelle’s Show” to HBO before he went to Comedy Central. HBO showed him the door. He finds it ironic that HBO Max now uses the show for content.
