- Dave Chappelle asked Netflix to stop streaming Chappelle's Show and the company obliged.
- Chappelle says that "if you are f***ing streaming that show you’re fencing stolen goods" because he doesn't make any money when it is licensed by ViacomCBS.
- Chappelle's Show is still streaming on CBS All Access and HBO Max for now.
Fans of comedy were pleasantly surprised when Netflix added legendary Comedy Central sketch series Chappelle's Show to its library at the beginning of the month. Since the show stopped airing, it has been broadcast and streamed on a variety of networks and online platforms, but this was the first time it had ever made its way to the most popular streaming service on the planet. Unfortunately, its tenure on Netflix was short-lived.
Dave Chappelle has always had a complicated relationship with the show, which he walked away from in the middle of production on the third season. ViacomCBS owns the rights to the TV show, and despite the fact that Chappelle's name is in the title, he doesn't make any money when the show is licensed out.
