Pretty much. He seems to be finished with CC for the most part. I was watching some recent clips of his standup and he again said the reason he walked away from the show was due CC wanting to tell Dave what he should and shoudln't show. It sounds like that once CC gave him the money they wanted to control every move he made, including basically scripting what happened on the show instead of letting Dave and his team do it.

i'll probably end up watching them either way since i only watch Spike TV/USA/Sci-Fi/Comedy Central/FX all day =p
So how much money has Chapelle forfeited here? The whole shebang?
Except that halfway through his "freakout", he took care to emphasize that CC wasn't messing with the show at all. And he blame the implosion on the "laughing at black people rather than with black people" tone that the show had taken on.SolidSnakex said:

Funny cause they claim they barely had access to Dave let alone the show during the "3rd" season.

why doesn't he give the goddamn money to charity? WTF does that have to do with Comedy Central? Even on the Oprah interview he never came out and blamed CC for anything. You'd think if they were the problem he would have no problem coming out and saying it. More and more im starting to think CC had nothing to do with it and Dave really did just go crazy.

This is Dave saying goodnight, but before doing so explaining why he left Chappelle's Show. He was tired of arguing with the company about what "us" the fans would like, and proceeded to say that any reported dispute with Comedy Central always had to do with him and co-creator Neal Brennan fighting to put his skits on air for us.
I can believe that he had "arguments about the show with Comedy Central"....as in "We're paying you 45 million dollars why are you two god damned years late!" I don't recall where it was ever said that they were meddling with content. I wouldn't imagine that they'd care that much (unless Tom Cruise called in to complain).

exactly. Look at all the shit they let slide through in the first 2 seasons and now all of a sudden after churning out $50 million they are going to get uptight and try and change a winning formula?
"Sorry, Dave, not buying it. Just not buying it."
Never sure what there is to argue/debate about this issue. Both sides have clearly stated what their issues and grievances were and it's basically over since they won't be working together. Since none of us are those individuals, who will ever know or be able to judge who was in the ultimate right or wrong.
I love Dave but clearly he wasn't happy at CC for whatever reason and now hopefully he'll either do his own thing or do more standup or whatever he wants. End of story imo.

are the Lost Episodes JUST stuff from "season 3" or is it also stuff they didn't end up using like the Haters going through time etc?

it this only airing on one night, or is it like 2-3 nights? it seems like theres enough material for a few episodes.

We're just being selfish, though. We really don't care what Dave felt or how he feels now. We just want MORE.
From Maxim's Neal Brennan interview:
M: Did Dave really quit because a crew member laughed too hard at a racially sensitive skit?
NB: Well, this particular crew member had a condescending laugh-but that's just the way he laughs. But, yeah, that was Dave's feeling, and you can't change someone's feeling.
M: How's your relationship with Comedy Central?
NB: Originally, they thought "the mad Real World" was a collection of unfunny scenes. So after that killed with the audience, the executives said, "We have no idea what we're talking abou, " and left us alone completely. That was the beauty of doing a small show on CC-they'd leave you alone.
M: Supposedly, Dave walked away from $50 million. Did your wallet take a hit too?
NB: No, because I wasn't in breach of contract.
M: Have you talked to him?
NB: Yeah, but there's no, "And I have an announcement to make!"
M: Will you work with him again?
NB: No. There's no chance.

I'm down with Dave so whatever his reasons are that is whatever. Just to me hey I'm a fan, I've been a fan from the old days before Half Baked so for me I just want to see him perform.

I don't blame him. They're buddies forever, then he gets totally dicked with no explanation.
I can understand why Dave freaked out, but I think completely bailing to another country was totally the wrong way to handle it. I'm just pissed we'll never get more episodes.

This is kinda the same thing that goes on in the wrestling threads. You people forget that these are their jobs. I'm sure Charlie's stuck to a contract, and he's not going to back out of it just because Dave may want him to. Dave's also not going to hold a silly grudge over a dude just working to get a paycheck and some cable TV visibility. (At least he won't if he's not a dick.)Rorschach said:
