Before You Cancel Dave Chappelle, Here’s What You Need to Know

That’s because the story doesn’t end there. It ends here.

On Friday, Chappelle announced his departure from Netflix’s “Sticks and Stones” after less than two seasons. The announcement was followed by an interview in which Chappelle explained his reasoning for the move.

“There are things that I’ve said and done that are so politically charged that I cannot be effective,” Chappelle said. “I’m not going to be effective as a comedian anymore.”

It’s hard to disagree with Chappelle’s assessment. He’s been making jokes about black people and the Democratic Party for years.

But even if you don’t agree with Chappelle’s assessment, the fact that he’s made the decision himself is so wildly out of left field that it’s worth looking at.

Here’s what we know about Chappelle’s decision to leave “Sticks and Stones”:

He’s scheduled to perform at the Detroit stop of his “Dave Chappelle’s Block Party” tour on July 11.

(He reportedly receives a $10 million payout for the show. )

His decision to leave “Sticks and Stones” came after he received an offer from Netflix to star in the upcoming, as-of-yet-untitled documentary about “Sticks and Stones.”

(Chappelle didn’t specify what the “documentary” is about. )

The documentary will reportedly be released later this year.

The documentary will be released on Netflix.

Chappelle has a long history of political humor.

It’s been a long time since Chappelle’s name was on the marquee of a comedy club. But his career has not been so long ago that he can’t still make money.

Chappelle’s acting career has been plagued by debt and missteps. In 2007, he filed for bankruptcy, owing between $40-60 million. He was also sued in 2008 for allegedly stealing from his comedy club, and in 2010 he was sued for$50 million for allegedly stealing $15 million from a former business partner.

Chappelle’s comedy career has been similarly hit and miss. He started performing in comedy clubs at the age of 25, and he’s been on stage since. But he hasn’t been on the same stage for more than a decade.

Chappelle’s comedy has always been politically charged. But it’s not entirely clear how much political humor he’s been making since 2007.

There have been a number of Chappelle’s specials and a number of shows that have revolved around race and politics. In 2007, Chappelle released his stand-up special, “Half Baked.” In 2008, Chappelle’s half of the comedy special, “Chappelle’s Show,” came out.

Chappelle’s “Sticks and Stones” was an attempt to bring together black and white Americans in a way that was both humorous and uplifting.

“Sticks and Stones” debuted on Comedy Central in February. The special was Chappelle’s first stand-up special since 2005
