(AP) — D ave C happelle told
O prah W infrey he was stressed
out and not crazy or on drugs
when he abruptly left his hit C om
edy Central show last spring dur
ing production.
In his first television interview
s in c e d itc h in g “C h a p p e lle ’s
Show ’’ in M ay, the com edian said
that after he signed a $50 million
deal for the third and fourth sea
sons in A ugust 2004, too many
people were trying to control him
and his show.
“ I w asn’tcrazy but it is incred
ibly stressful,” Chappelle, 32, said
during his appearance on "The
O prah W infrey Show ” that aired
Friday.
I felt in a lot o f instances I was
deliberately being put through
stress because when y o u ’re a guy
w ho generates money, people
have a vested interested in con
trolling you," C happelle said.
T he status o f his show has
hung in lim bo since May. C om
edy Central announced in D e
cem ber that four half-hour ep i
sodes o f “C happelle’s Show ” will
prem iere in w eekly airings this
spring. A full season w ould have
been between IGand I3episodes.
