Dave Chappelle Interview - 1/21/2003

From Late Night with Conan O'Brien

[@StephenPaulTroup]

Knowing the premiere of the Chappelle Show would air the next day makes this like interviewing Neil Armstrong the night before he took off for the moon!

[@warfreddy6968]

Neil knew he was going to the moon.

I don't know, Mr. Chapel looks like the kind of guy who would bail on it after a few years.

[@thepeoplesaffronttojudea5280]

I believe the "chosen" who owned him and Hollywood, will make Dave an insulting offer he can do nothing but refuse.. He'll stand up to them like no other before him... And years later, he'll have the same "chosen" beg him to do 3 hours of stand up and pay him more than 50 million ..

Conan's where I discovered Dave. Some of the funniest interviews ever. With classic Conan, I watched primarily for the first comedy skit and the second comedy skit which usually came after the interview with the first guest. Dave was one of the guests I liked as much as the skits. Conan's still The King of Late Night. Dave's The King of Stand Up.
