So shortly after his appearance on SNL and the monologue he gave about his own show, Chappelle's Show was removed from Netflix at Dave Chappelle's request. Now HBO Max will be following suit and pulling the show from their streaming platforms (which I assume includes Crave). It's a damn shame that things got so sour between Comedy Central and Chappelle that he is actually torpedoing any access to it that doesn't include him receiving a cheque.

I mean, I get it. It was a dick move to capitalize on the show without compensating Chappelle, but he also walked away in the middle of production for season 3. Situation sucks, and fans are getting punished. Not a good look for either side.

I'm glad I have the first 2 seasons on DVD, but now I'm so used to be able to stream it whenever I want and gone are the days of a DVD player in every room with a TV. For the amount of cash Netflix threw your way for all these specials you could have let them stream the show, Dave.
