There is a buzz in Hollywood about the lost episodes of Chapeele’s show which will be airing on Comedy Central this weekend. Check your local listing for time and availability.
The “Chappelle’s Show” footage left behind when creator Dave Chappelle skipped town mid-production will begin airing July 9 on Comedy Central under the title “The Lost Episodes.”
Word has it that most of the skits on the first show depict how life has changed for the comedian since signing a reported $55 million deal to stay with the network – a deal he walked away from months later.
According to the New York Post, the first episode has Chappelle shouting from the window of a stretch limo “I’m rich, b*tch” to an ex-girlfriend who dumped him. She was also the object of a blistering sketch called, “Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold.”
Another bit shows how Chappelle thinks people will treat him following the multi-million dollar deal. For example, an $8 haircut suddenly costs him $11,000.
Meanwhile, cast members Donnell Rawlings and Charlie Murphy handle the live studio segments between each sketch, as Chappelle took off before he was able to film them. An invite-only crowd was on hand last April for the taping.
During the first moments of the show, Murphy said without Chappelle, people would still think of him as “just Eddie Murphy’s brother.”
