LAST CHAPPELLE SHOWS TO AIR IN JULY: Comedy Central will roll out final four under the title ‘Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes.’
*The filmed material left in Dave Chappelle’s dust as he took off from his Comedy Central series “Chappelle’s Show” last year will finally air in the form of four episodes to begin on July 9.
"Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes," as the network has titled them, reflects the footage that was filmed for the program’s abandoned third season, before the comedian abruptly walked away from the series, as well as a reported $50 million contract with Comedy Central.
After quitting the show, Chappelle traveled to South Africa, where it was rumored that he suffered a nervous breakdown and entered a treatment facility. The actor eventually emerged to deny all of the rumors and explain that his departure was due to a disappointment with the show’s direction.
"I was doing sketches that were funny but socially irresponsible," he told Oprah Winfrey in February.
"Chappelle's Show" players Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawlings will introduce the new sketches, according to Zap2it.com, as Chappelle did not film any intros before he took off.
