Some of the sketches don't hold up for me anymore... but it's still great.

I really wish we had the whole truth about what went on.

His episode on Inside the Actors Studio offered some really interesting insight into why he walked away from the show, but I imagine he's held to some kind of contract that won't let him give details.

Has it really been 10 years already?

Sketches that are better than Rick James True Hollywood Story:

Wayne Brady/Training Day
Haters Ball
Racial Draft
Clayton Bigsby
The Mad Real World

It doesn't feel like 10 years probably because the show only ended in 2006, due the the third season being delayed for literally years.

I thought it was good, but far too often quoted by people who thought that being funny meant repeating a line from the show. It was like the Austin Powers of its time.

Some of the sketches don't hold up... but a lot of 'em do. Man I loved that shit. It was like mandatory viewing in the dorm room.

I would also throw in the Making of the Band shit as awesome sketches on the list.

World Series of Dice is fuckin hilarious, but I don't know if I'd put it over either of the Charlie Hollywood Stories (Rick James' is better than Prince's, though) but they definitely make top 10.

So glad these are streaming on Netflix

Show was fucking hilarious, shame what happened.

Maybe it's for the best that Chappelle quit while on top though, cause those season 3 "lost episodes" sketches were pretty bad.

I always love to see people appreciate the Player Haters Ball. I always thought it was awesome and underrated.
