Inside The Actors Studio - Dave Chappelle

[undertherainbowx]

wow his mum had a career in congo. i'm from here and i know lingala. i'm amazed that people that aren't congolese have even heard of it lol.

[bubba30017]

i say no reward no punishment, we are who we are.

[Prophetess7]

Nice story 26:03 - 27:13

[jay80009]

I LOVE THIS

[LilDP]

I love how real this guy is in his interview...

[sikaja]

Yo, Dave is the man!!

[dwanfierce]

my work was due 2 hours ago.. this was a great interview

[Mannyfrom213]

Tragedy or legend? I say Fucking LEGEND!

[sasuke1994pown]

I can't believe that this guy is 85 years old and looks this young

[TheJtall09]

@sasuke1994pown well for one his eyebrows cant move so ummmmm......yeah lol. You know why he look so young lol

[alexis2kool]

When he dies they should have Will Ferrell take his space.

[SnoOze431]

@SirPsychoFlea hi, do you know if there's even more material of this interview with dave chappelle? maybe on the dvd? beste regards (u are awesome!)

[Igotoeleven]

sadly he seems fucked up....i cant tell you what he is on...but it it is something

[CoolerKing37]

@Igotoeleven Well, Dave does enjoy his weed....

[aphilby]

"since I'm a pilot I conferred with Dave's pilot."

[raulmurillo11]

"just relax and do that shitttt"

[Andreamarieveleta]

Amazing.

[Bak3dB3an]

Why do I shed a tear every-time that end music comes on?

[ezeedward]

Im droppin dimes tonight... Wow that was strong , and he did !

[CalebQB19]

I somehow doubt there are NO poor white people in D.C. I love Dave Chappelle, but he comes off as a little racist at times in this

[44Gulick]

@CalebQB19 He's a comic dude, the way comics get around is by exageration, it's his job to be over the top

[CalebQB19]

@44Gulick i know that, but you can tell he's somewhat jaded to white people

[44Gulick]

@CalebQB19 Alot of black people are because for a long time in history they got screwed and you know we kind of deserve that jadedness at times, and from some people it just sounds like some kind of excuse for them never doing anything important but dave seems to be a wise dude and he says those things but it's not that bad coming from him because he actually has done shit that matters either way it's just the way he sees it, it might not be right all the time, but it gets a laugh.

[CalebQB19]

@44Gulick some white people do deserve to be hated, just like some black people and asian people, the list goes on and on. but you should hate the person, not the people.

[44Gulick]

@CalebQB19 that makes sense but no matter how hard you try racisms always gonna be there, it's not like his entire thing is about being a black panther or something, i think it's fine if you're not just bein a whiney bitch about white peopel and saying theyre all bad, i think there's no reason to ever be offended about anything just take it as a joke and don't give a fuck and life is good

[THEGLOVED1]

@CalebQB19 EXACTLY

[oOJAYDILLAOo]

@CalebQB19 - racist? havent you seen Chappelle's Show?

[CalebQB19]

@oOJAYDILLAOo well yeah I own both seasons and love Dave's work, I'm just saying he's a little bit ignorant about certain racial issues that's all

[IhateSOPA]

@CalebQB19 that is his style of comedy.

[eslomovits]

Who disliked this? Seriously?

[xxjamaalxx]

i cannot think of a celebrity i respect more than dave chappelle, just a great guy

[almartinet]

33:27 - 41:25

[TrippyTheShroom]

James Lipton might be my favorite new host of all time. That was easily one of the best interviews I've ever watched.

[TrippyTheShroom]

That host is amazing.

[Abdi2824]

he is the only person that makes me laugh all the time.From Italy

[Mannyfrom213]

Dave chappelle is what your supposed to do! Never sell out. Will always be a fan of his because he stayed true to himself.

[Ugot2luvlana]

Street Vernacular and Job Interview = EXTREMELY TRUE

[Disterric23]

Dave is my hero, most down to earth and chill person in that industry

[JoyDivisiongirl]

i would love to know what they edited out...as James Lipton said they spent 4 hours together,and this is only an hour and 20 minutes.

[jiffinbigles]

10:40 I know EXACTLY what he's talking about when he says "I felt like all these kids had met each other before" I felt the exact same thing on my first day of school.

[bombassniggafuly]

That's 100% pure wisdom

[WicksWonderland]

Guy on crack at 0:27:20

[Teichmeister]

15 people haven't been to Africa yet.

[PancakeBooty04]

Lipton doesn't even have to ask any questions he says one word and Chappelle proceeds to give his life story. He has nothing to hide.

[UltraNicator]

What does he want God to say to him? I couldn't hear it.

[aznwilly211]

What did Dave reply with at about 1:12:56 ? I didnt understand that

[Burga2003]

@aznwilly211 "congratulations Bill, you're a Law"

[sharkl11]

@Burga2003 What did he mean by that?

[TrippyTheShroom]

@sharkl11 In those old Schoolhouse Rock movies there was a song involving how a Bill wanted to be a law ("I'm just a bill sittin on capital hill"). He's saying that when he gets to heaven, he hopes god says "Well, you've made it!". Because the Bills main goal in life, is to be a Law.

Hope I helped!

[Disclosure1987]

i have always thought that most comdians, are the smartest people alive, because they make jokes out of subjects that nobody dares to talk about serious stuff, and see things in perspectives that nobody dares talk about, and people find it funny because they know. and ofthen i find their point making more sense than all the other bullshit that is said about all that stuff if you know what i mean. and this is another thing that proves to myself i was right.he's even smarter than i thought already

[kouneli12]

rick james bitch

[BlackFuryFx]

The ending is beautiful :')

[mzsaigon]

Is Dave's father Muhammed Ali? Looks like it, from the baby photo shown at 7:50...

[UltraNicator]

@mzsaigon Lol I think he only met him.

[bruteoutlawz]

Dave is such a great guy, he inspires, educates and on top of that he makes people laugh. I hope he knows how much he's admired.

[JeramyTheGirl]

James Lipton really does him justice. Can't imagine anyone being able to really get chappelle's level intellectually, without being demeaning or unjustifiable. I wanna see how other people interview (and fail at it) Dave.

[QuikDJ]

Thanks for the full video, love it

[maxpf]

seems so baked in this video

[420DRo420ful]

a rare exception of a dude who slipped thru the grubby fingers of the 'industry' & lives to tell about it

[mzsaigon]

@420DRo420ful for real.

[xxArcanexx]

If it wasn't for the 'INDUSTRY' you wouldn't even know about Dave Chappelle. LONG LIVE THE INDUSTRY, I say.

[420DRo420ful]

@xxArcanexx im not ignorant to that fact, but with the way the entertainment industry's monopolized shit & written the rules, you know there's 100 people more talented than Dave that woulda killed to have the opportunity he did, but you'll never hear about them -- it's a world of few pros and many cons. imo

[ArtsLover12]

He is just adorable

[TheOldschoolkat03]

Watching this makes me have a incredible amount of respect for dave, the way he handle his situation and the way he thinks about the corupted industry and the world in general, and if anybody disagrees with me then they need to get themselves together and plus i think watching this you can learn somthing, especially what he said there at the end in the last 5 or so min. and plus why arent people like dave chappelle and people who think the way he does but no we all want to be the kardashians

[IonBidon]

1:16:30 Can someone translate what is she saying? I really wanna know.

[Anthonydlc87]

@IonBidon

She asked what keeps him down to earth

[xlinkx1234]

@patildful Thank you! i bid you many thanks friend.

[slashdotism]

Dave Chapelle is playing the long game

[xlinkx1234]

this was uploaded on my birthday when i was turning 18. this has to mean something.

[Patildful]

@xlinkx1234 Yupp, you're a tard

[pickachuuuuu]

Dave you are Legend.

[Dudeldani]

I really am addicted to this show... i've only known it for the last three months and this interview was the first i saw. now that i've seen about 50 other interviews i really think this is the truest, deepest and most personal of all of them. after watching this you automatically readjust your view on showbusiness...

[09princess1]

This man inspires me. Truly an amazing human being. "I don't understand this person, so their crazy. That's bullshit. These people are not crazy they strong people, maybe the environment is a little sick" REALITY. We need more people in the world like Dave Chappelle. Real.

[86topherkelly]

Man I wish they woulda showed the skits...

[MarquisGemini]

@yeah2243 What I like about Lipton is that he approaches every actor unbias, but yet still opens the show up at the end to more direct and career questions and covers much more ground with every interviewee because it is never an attack. If ever there is contraversy, it's more like "some people may misunderstand you" instead of "WHATS YOUR PROBLEM, PEOPLE HATE YOU!!". Nice comment, bro :).

[bullanguero82]

that was just.. great. i think hes one of the funniest men out there, but his "serious" talk really got me. its nice when you see the man behind the jokes, and its nicer when that man turns out to be the way dave chappelle is.

[ThoughtGreen123]

I just adore this man.

[TheLaptop1990]

I love this guy...great unfleunce of mu life...only if u knew dave...

[Underdogpiano]

Dave is such a great person! Here you can really see what a great character this man has.

[edasnoraa]

"I barely speak english". Spoken like a true American.

[aelglort]

If only people had understood what he talked about

Iluminati

[Jvideos550]

34:00 The Truth Everyone Needs To Listen To

[SuperBobHolmes]

I think Dave is a legend.. not just because of his art, but because of how he handled what he went threw.. It shows that he isnt a heartless machine like other artist of our time.

[alaninphoenix]

This is by far the best interview James Lipton has done. It's 100% honest and heartfull. Dave talks about the ups and downs in his life and doesn't hide much. This interview is a must see. If not already, after seeing this nterview you will become a Chappelle Fan. Thanksfor being honest and real Dave, keep up the great work!!!!

[Pygmahia5]

how does this not have 1 mil views?

[Rob02150]

That little hoodrat pissed me off.

[princeluv1972]

@sirphychoflea. Thanks for uploading these shows this is my fav. Program I have you on my YouTube favorites and watch these episodes evreyday....I'm going through a tough time right now and your posts help me get through the day allot of times thanks....

[Rob25826]

Comedians are some of the most sensible people in the world...A smart comedian is a good one and that is why dave chappelle sticks....he is intelligent but doesn't take himself too seriously

[getalifeyt]

is That MICHELLE OBAMA at 1:11:11 ???!

[shadowao]

some true shit.

[Vsan94]

34:23 "Martin had a stroke, he almost died."

*James Lipton during video editing* "Must find negro in the crowd who most closely resembles Martin Lawrence."

[jonathan2]

@BassFIow he actually performed at the Comedy Jam a few months ago. I think he might be preparing to start performing again. here it is. /watch?v=77HLMXWS1-w

[Jummbug]

sweet,

finally a honest normal person in Hollywood,

rock on Chappelle

u make me laugh,

(a bigger compliment i cant think of xD)

[whiplash2011ify]

half baked

[joezey1]

This interview is awesome

[MrJackswan]

This is kind of painful to watch at the beginning- Chappelle seem really reluctant to have his parents exposed as big brains, doesn't he?

I haven't seen this show much, but the impression I get is that the guests don't like the biographical questions at the beginning of the interview.

[smallwonder21]

He made me cry.I wish i had a way to contact him just to thank him,because i learn a lot through this interview.May the Lord always look over him and his family.

[yeah2243]

I've watched a ton of episodes of Inside the Actor's Studio and I really think someone needs to sit down and have this kind of talk with James Lipton. He really is an incredible guy, he treats every person he interviews with this kind of respectful admiration that makes it all the more enjoyable. With all the people he's met and talked to he has to have some good stuff to share with an audience about his experiences.

[SirPsychoFlea]

@yeah2243 i guess you didn't watch the episode where jim is the guest? dave's actually hosting that one

[yeah2243]

@SirPsychoFlea Holy shit. I can't believe I never knew about that, its the exact combination I was hoping for. Thank you.

[bastardfingers]

@yeah2243 A smattering of sycophancy and a parody of sophistication behind the questions on a mortgage application form.

[69coquito]

@yeah2243 That is a great idea, you should right a letter to him it should be the same platform as well.;O)

[LibertyWaxlips]

@yeah2243 and he is also a pretentious asshole!

[blessedcrys]

"You can't get un-famous, you can get infamous, but you can't get un-famous" --Chappelle. Intelligence and intellect at it's best! God and Humility the KEY to SUCCESS!

[mallerySON40]

incredibly humble :)

[pausebeforeviewtube]

1:04:52 --- R. Kelly's most devoted fan.

[JuiceNydeezBaybee]

My bad that was Muhammad Ali

[JuiceNydeezBaybee]

Anyone else think Dave's dad looked like Muhammad Ali?

[AllThingsKen]

@JuiceNydeezBaybee umm no... wtf

[sunmin11]

@JuiceNydeezBaybee in the picture theres little dave holding a Muhammad Ali poster and is wearing a Ali button?? i was wondering this myself, why they would include that picture. is he related to him?!

[StephonST]

Near the end of the video he said that he might have wanted to try to be a teacher. I personally consider Dave Chappelle to be a great teacher because hes comedian. He tells jokes (and at the same time) teaches whats going on in the economy. Due to it being in joke form, its much mroe easily relatable and easier to understand. This 1 hr and 20 mins have changed my life. I thank Dave Chappelle for utilizing his god given talent to the fullest. My favorite Comedian, never to have been contested.

[ablacksquare]

i got to get up in a few but man was this worth it

[scumwillrise]

"People aren't crazy, sometimes their environment is sick"

[TheMrSomeGuy95]

wow, do you guys see that dislike bar? me neither

[geezybeezy420]

I hate schools guts too, I skipped my first day of kindergarden because of the same thing he says at 10:25-11:00

[SavingPrivateBob]

The likes of him and Johnny Depp are some of the best entertainers in the industry. They don't fall into the illusion, and they maintain their integrity. If that doesn't deserve respect, I don't know what does.

[Jabbie238]

Brilliant mind. Integrity.

[melody2104]

"Where are my fucking royalties" LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO

THE BEST ACTORS STUDIO EPISODE

[WaywardWinds]

Those final remarks...

[leftasmokingcrater]

"Yellow Springs Ohio,America's last authentic hippie community"

James has obviously never been to the west coast

[RobbyTheSheef]

I would absolutely watch a James Lipton + Dave Chappelle cop movie. They work really well together.

[ruqysan]

Dave is the truth!!

[elvisnation1]

i'm watching this for at least fifth time...you gotta love this man.

[Zimcash]

You posted this on my bday which is June 10th.

[rphilbrick11]

"Where are my fucking royalties?" HAHAHAHA

[WalkerOfMyles]

[DjDETACH]

inspirational! I salute you Dave Chappelle

[Radioactiveman0000]

Dave Chappelle is one of the few comedians that are consistently funny that can make you laugh without even trying..SOUTH AFRICA loves you man, keep it up

[soguuud]

Man it takes alot to be expose yourself in front of so many people...respect

[allbn]

[elijah800]

[leerey14]

the reason i like chappelle so much is because i identify with him on so many levels, hes very inspirational, hes about the only one fighting the illuminati.

[SaintTomberlin]

dang man! chapelle we need you..

[izvunzemen]

at 45:30 is that the skeet skeet skeet joke? it's the only joke I can associate to

[SirPsychoFlea]

@izvunzemen that's actually the "terrorists don't take black hostages" part from killing them softly

[izvunzemen]

@SirPsychoFlea thanks. 

[CounterTman]

a legend :) 

[cocojumb0]

hawt daaauwgs

[TrayOne618]

the best thing i have seen from Dave. the realest person in the game.(long live chapeplle)

[Panigg]

@bam2944 Oh my god it's a joke people... get your memes right.

[PiliSmasher]

Dave Chappelle is an amazing man

[Jamesdust]

“The mark of greatness is when everything before you is obsolete, and everything after you bears your mark.” -Dave Chappelle

[Panigg]

I find this very difficult to masturbate to.

[killpointpuppy]

It's very humbling knowing that someone like Dave Chappelle is going through the same things I am.

We're all people.

[herpderpeton]

Fastest 2 hours of my life.

[freznedz2]

@Legionhelll So did I

[RaferHC]

God dammit. I was gonna go to sleep....TWO hours ago. I can see why the audience put up with all the postponements.

[careyfelts]

very insightful

[optimustine]

1:04:54

[d7b44]

In all the countries I have lived: Germany, UK, US, Malaysia, Indonesia , Australia, NZ , every place loves Dave.

This is the closest thing to human unity we have.
