Lipton really was amazing at this. He lived to the age of 93 and passed in 2020. Glad his work will live on since he did it for 24 years.

[@iamcalledirenechaliz-lopez]

Fr❤ RIP

[@teflontg]

News of his death passed me by. I guess cos of Covid. But he had a good innings. 93 is a ripe old age.

[@nitroluskincaid]

Dude!!! James Lipton is (was) a BOSS!!! I LOVED THE WAY HE QUESTIONED HIS GUESTS!!!

[@denisedunn2506]

A strong family background, his intelligence and comedian genius is a blessing. Such a sharp mind that’s attractive.

[@MikeGowan-xo9yv]

I saw Dave Chappelle in a comedy club in San Francisco. He was the opener for someone else and he was so effing hilarious, the lady following never had a chance. This was before anyone knew who he was. We knew after that night. I’ve never seen a funnier comedian live in my life…

[@MAGABA08]

More than a masterclass about Dave, this is a great insight on his brilliant mom! How accomplished she is! wow! Scholar, PhD pioneer, language erudite, all while going to Dave's stand ups as a teen (drive in, stay, drive home). WOW again! Hats off to Mrs. Yvonne Seon

[@jasondelvaux3036]

Real comedy questions authority & calls out hypocrisy. It provides society an invaluable service in this respect. Chappelle is one of the greatest in the history of the art form. Even going back to kindergarten, he was calling out green corn. That was just the beginning. This is why censorship & cancel culture is so insidious. We cannot silence our critics. We need the comics as part of our human experience.

[@Toll_Booth_Willie]

Comedy 🎭 got me through some dark times in my life and will always be grateful for the art.

[@jasondelvaux3036]

This is a brilliant way to conduct an interview. Just short, basic, simple questions, and then allow the answers to blossom into natural conversation. Very enlightening in a comfortable, unforced way.

[@velvetjones8634]

James Lipton was a master at interviewing people. At first, I couldn’t stand his style, as it seemed pretentious. I finally got it and enjoyed every interview he ever did.

[@allezlesrouges]

And get a free comedy show while at it

FYI - this aired Feb 12, 2006. The full episode is 90 min.

[@susanmoorewerner8444]

Dave is so superior in every way. On every level. Never ceases to amaze me.

[@gundog7199]

Exactly who or what is he superior to?

[@shannons323i]

​@@gundog7199 I'm wondering the same thing, especially knowing he's amongst inferior comics who've stolen Owen Benjamin's bits. Superior people don't do things like that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jeandivine3]

The story he tells at 17:25 had a massive impact on my life since I first heard him tell it on this show a long time ago. I think not a week goes by when I don’t think or talk about it. A guy once said to me that if you are worried or fearful of something, then ask yourself, “If the worst possible outcome of the challenge you are facing happens, would you be able to get through it and handle it. If yes, then you should stop being afraid of the thing you’re facing. The answer is almost always ‘yes, I would still be ok if that happened.’” He called it the “Worry Once Method” for dealing with fear. It seemed that Dave figured this out in reality and not through a thought experiment. Thanks for posting this, I’ve been trying to find a copy of this clip for a long time.

[@Raad187KO]

👏👏👏

[@alaningram2373]

The full episode is worth a watch. I loved this series. my favorite part of this is the stories he tells and when he answers questions at the end of the students, since this is usually a college crowd of theater and drama majors.

[@techthirteen]

Thank you Dave for your brutal honesty. I know this is old. But I remember this. And we pull from this today. These future actors need to stay grounded. The best in the business.

[@jayluksha6809]

Lipton will always be one of the greats! One of the best interviewers to ever do it.

[@richardclegg5853]

I've heard Chapelle share his origin story several times, it inspired me every time. We are so lucky to have him in our time... Funniest, most insightful comedian of all time...

[@user-eu2ul2tt7x]

I love how Lipton puts ALL of his guests at ease ❤

[@ghhg2890]

James Lipton put everyone at ease. I literally relax upon hearing his voice, and become interested in people I'd otherwise dismiss out of hand. Dude just gives off the vibe of "alright, sit down, we're gonna get into some shit, its going to be mellow".

[@MateoKupstysChica]

best DC interview! Lipton was so impressed by him, that he chose Dave to be his interviewer some months later when he was the guest.

[@dcworld4349]

It was 2 years later but I understand the confusion since for some strange reason they've never started their own youtube channel they have never made their episodes except for a very select few easy to buy. Lipton did 269 episodes before he died and they are all being held hostage on a terrible platform most people around the world can't get access to half the time doesn't even work properly even with a VPN and they constantly switch between having the original cut and extended cut which makes no sense.

[@ronnewlin-ml6lu]

White/Caucasian male here from Central/Eastern Kentucky. Of the entertainers that are on my bucket list of people I want to meet before I pass away? Dave is my #2. Morgan Freeman is my #1 and I don't believe Dave would feel offended in any way. I just hope I don't meet them at the same time. I'm afraid my head would explode.

"Calling someone crazy is dismissive..." Dave showed me u can turn crazy into eyeballs 😳 and a conversation to boot!!

[@anonone8954]

This is just proof that Dave Chappell is a true genius.

[@KenLahne2]

the most shocking thing about this to me was the chemistry between Lipton & Dave. I always thought Lipton was a little uptight and too serious. He was loose and ready for comedic banter.

[@herbacidal]

I remember being really into Actors Studio at this time, and Chapelle on here really added to what I thought of the Chapelle show

[@PB-bb3di]

So honest, Dave is a genius, James Lipton does his research, he knew more about Dave, than Dave. This was an excellent interview, it almost was like Dave and Lipton rehearsed, but I know that did not happen. Thank you for this clip.

[@travisfitzwater8093]

Dave worked as an usher at Ford's Theater in about 1993.

[@froggyluv]

This intro felt like SNL - "...from Men in Tights...........to Undercover Brutha....."..... Thespian !!

[@johnathanstruble1064]

[@charlescrew134]

I loved this show. He is missed for sure

[@sethwetzel974]

It was the only talk show that was worth watching. Carson for sure but Lipton was the best. He was able to bring things out of those people better than anyone else.

[@txdieselkid]

@@sethwetzel974 Carson was entertainment, Lipton was a conversational documentary.

I loved Will Farell’s impression of Lipton on SNL. It’s quite a contrast of styles between Chapelle and Lipton but it makes for great entertainment

[@zulficg2]

The most intelligent people they call comedians. They should lead our country

[@BurtDavis]

I'm always amazed by people that can remember specific details about their life from age 5, and earlier. I think those people have brains that work in unique ways and are typically connected to society in a way that most people aren't. Clearly Dave is not typical.

[@retepnosbig4859]

i always thought everybody remembered being that age or younger...i certainly do. i think its spose to be the normal human condition. inadequate enviromental factors like food or clean air might cause such problems of memory loss. have you listen to terence howard talk about what he remembers?....now that's something special.

[@Cake41579]

How normal is it for a 39 year old to vividly remember various occasions that stemmed back before my first birthday including the very day that I turned 1. I remember waking up from my nap and crawling out of my crib by sliding up and over the high railing and sliding down into the floor. I walked to the door of my room and looked down the hallway and saw my grandmother setting in a wicker chair and when she saw me she said”well there’s the birthday boy”. Sounds pretty cliche but I remember it so vividly. I could do my ABC’s and speak full sentences in reverse before I even knew the ABC’s in proper form. When I say I can speak in reverse, you can record what I say and reverse it and to a pretty astounding measure, it sounds extremely close to how we say it normally when it’s reversed. With a few exceptions to words that are nearly impossible to speak in reverse because of the way certain things roll off your tongue. Maybe only a backwards talker would understand. I hope nobody thinks I’m exaggerating because this couldn’t be more true.

[@Ron-oh8lj]

Everybody's voice changes character when they age, especially if they smoke. The smart ones also get a bit thicker as they try to preserve their muscle mass. And when you get money, it sometimes occurs to you to get your teeth fixed. There's only one Dave Chappelle but it's all the same guy.

[@MrMZaccone]

@@johnnymejia2407 That just tells me about you. It tells me nothing about Dave Chapelle. The trends I described have statistical validity. The current Dave Chapelle is the same Dave Chapelle in the video unless you want to deal with the fact that vast numbers of cells in the human body are replaced regularly. None of us are exactly the same collection of cells we were years ago but the idea that Dave Chapelle has somehow been replaced with a clone or other nonsense? THAT'S what "has no merit."

Have loved Chappelles comedy for so long and looking at this video makes me think that the big difference between Chappelle then and today is that he lost his battle against the system. What he said back then used to be so provocative among so many that just followed a scheme planted by the industry and a system that he seemed to be against. But it must be hard to be against when it is so lucrative to be a part of it, I imagine.
