Chappelle's Back! Sort of...
A momentary digression from the usual political fare to cover something really important: the return of superstar comedian Dave Chappelle.
After a much publicized split with Comedy Central regarding the "Dave Chappelle Show", a wildly successful comedy series, which sadly didn't even make it to a second season, and various bizarre reports about Chappelle's whereabouts and state of mind, Dave seems to be back.
Today's Times covers his celebrated return to Las Vegas, headlining a comedy festival.
As the article states, neither the circumstances of Chappelle's parting with Comedy Central, nor the rampant speculation about his mental state are any clearer than they were months ago. Chappelle won't discuss it, and only made vague reference to it in his act.
The reporter gave the act mixed reviews, but flashes of the old Dave definitely seemed in evidence. Count us among those very glad to see him back on the scene.
