Perhaps no one – not even Dave Chappelle himself – can explain why he up and left the lucrative deal that Comedy Central offered him to continue his show. The first season of Chappelle’s Show is the top-selling TV on DVD release, with over 3.5 million units sold. Season 2’s DVD is the third highest-selling TV on DVD release of all time, with 2.5 million units sold. Not too shabby, but the execs at Comedy Central apparently rubbed Dave the wrong way and wanted to control too much of his show, so he bailed. This left the fans wanting more, and luckily they’ll be able to get more this Sunday, July 9th, when Comedy Central airs Chappelle’s Show: The Lost Episodes. While the episodes are sketches Dave completed prior to leaving the series, they should give fans a taste of what they’ve been missing while whetting their appetite for the release of Chappelle’s Show: The Lost Episodes Uncensored DVD, coming out on Tuesday, July 25.

Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawlings, both Chappelle’s Show regulars, will do the sketch intros for Sunday’s airing since Chappelle never filmed the intros before his departure.
