I hadn't really 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.760 worked with Bill Bird since the Chappelle Show.

I saw what's 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.320 the Bobby Lee right, And then when I saw Bobby 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:21.120 Lee there, I said. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.360 This ship bought to be some crazy ship.

Okay, 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.560 keep pe key and pill was is good? 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:53.240 But that's also a Dave Chappelle the Chris Rock Show. No, 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.160 you're sucking up all out. This is one of the 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.880 most iconic shows. Like, I ain't gonna lie. I don't 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:07.920 remember the last time I ran home, like right Monday night? 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:13.120 Is Dave Chappell coming on or or whatever it is? Now? 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.599 You lived this in real time. I didn't live this. 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:24.079 I was a fan. You was a part of this. Yeah, 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.200 did you know what history you was creating? When you 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.480 was creating that history? I felt it. 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.720 And the weird thing is I felt it, but Dave 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.760 and Neil didn't feel it. Neil was the white guy. Yeah, 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.520 he's responsible for me being on that show. I felt 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.239 it and responsible. 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.079 Yeah, well, I thought you and Dave's people would assume 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.280 that because most were both both of us are from DC. 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.120 You're black, and We're Black. That's would be the automatic connection. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.120 But Neil and. 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.080 Dave had wrote Half Baked, right, And at that time 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.880 Neil Brennan was popping on the writing side in Hollywood. 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:58.800 He had sold like three films. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.200 He was getting a lot of money, but his shows 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.040 weren't getting green lit or whatever. So he wanted to 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.600 start to dabble in the directing side of it. But 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.120 he didn't have an experience. So he wrote this short film. 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:11.760 And he has saw me on some auditions in New York. 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.040 He was a fan of mine, and he reached out 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.080 to my manager. He said, Yo, I'm doing this short film. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.000 It's just for there's nothing, just for my my resume 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.200 and just to get acclimated with director and editing. And 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.679 he asked me, He asked my manager would I do it? 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:26.720 And at the time I had ship pop and I 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.680 was on h Fields the corner, I was doing some 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.760 other stuff and I was like, well, I know you 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.880 can't afford to pay me, you know, but in the event, 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.680 you're in a situation where you could throw me a bone. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:36.440 Throw me a bone. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.640 And I said that Usually when you say that to people, 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.880 they don't never cut to I did that for him, 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.720 and months later he called me. He said, I'm working 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.240 on the show. Once you'll be involved. I was like, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.040 what's the name of it? He said, we didn't have 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.240 a name. I said, when you get a name, let 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.640 me know. That show happened to be The Chappelle Show. 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:58.360 But you got to realize when Dave, well, when Dave 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.560 and Neil, Dave has a should companies called Polyboyd Production. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.760 And the reason why that name came about because Dave 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:06.959 was the golden child in Hollywood, you know what I'm saying. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.280 At the age of sixteen to seventeen, he was already 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.160 working with mel Brooks, Whoopi Goldgirg had said he would 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.120 be the next guy, but his pilots, he was getting 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.000 the looks, but nothing was making it to the network. 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.720 So I think maybe out of frustrations, like my product, 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.679 my company's gonna be a Polyboyd Production. And I think 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.480 what he did with commedy Sis was like, Okay, let's 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.240 see how it's gonnappen. They weren't as excited as me 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.960 because they had been through that process. I was like, 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.120 oh my god, this is the opportunity. It's a platform. 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.520 So you know, they not knowing that, but I knew 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.960 this show. The reason why I knew this show was 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.280 going to pop because I used to call Dave and 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.400 I used to be like this, yo, I talked to 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.679 the streets today, right, And when I say streets, I 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.920 used to go to boss Shopsville. And it was something 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.800 different about Day's career because mainstream was already acceptant of Dave. 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.000 You know what I'm saying, he was the top dog whatever. 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.600 But for some reason, Dave's brand of comedy whatever. And 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.840 I'm being straight when I said it didn't resonate with 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.080 the streets like that at. 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.600 First because first the hood, the hood didn't didn't. 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.120 Want because he was he was too smart. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.120 I hate to say this, but motherfucker's most time people 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.719 in the lowbrow comedy. And then we're coming off the 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.000 hills of Death Jam, and like, I'm following what you said, 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.200 there's never been a show where you ran home and 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.360 want to see Death Jam. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:22.920 Was that show? 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.440 J Wasn't that sketch? Depth Jam was that show? And 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.840 Men and Living Color. I think part of the success 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.600 of Chappelle's show it was at a time where nobody 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.760 was doing anything original, nobody was taking chances and it 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.440 felt like people was preparing itself for cancel culture. So 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.160 it was the newness of it or whatever. And we 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.080 did and we did, we took chances. But when I 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.040 used to talk to my dudes in the streets, the 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.480 real it was something that and I used to tell 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.040 David and I said every every every week. 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.440 I was like, our radio is going to be this, 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:52.400 Our radio. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.640 Is going to be that, I'm telling Dave Neil And 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.760 they were still like, I'm still young, Like, oh my god, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.240 this is my opportunity was already paid. They was already 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.040 doing it. But I could feel, I could feel the 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.120 energy of it. And week by week it just grew 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.120 and it grew and it grew another It's so crazy. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.560 One of the biggest sketches on that show was a 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:19.800 Charlie Murphy sketch. When that that was the no uh no, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:21.640 Charlie Murphy True Hollywood Stories. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.400 But was that no. I was swearing. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.840 I take it how I had, but with the true 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.600 Hollywood Stories. This is how sometime the networks don't know 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.360 they they didn't like that sketch, but they didn't like 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.080 the sketch for the Rick Charlie Murphy. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.200 Let me explain it. Day. 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.120 First off, it hasn't been a history of sketch comedy 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.200 where it was one sketch that for the most part, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.000 lasted the whole episode. If you think about it, that 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.040 was that was one thing that had never been done 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.600 and the crazy thing. And but and they didn't think 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.560 Charlie Murphy was funny. Wow, Tommy Central didn't think Charlie Murphy. 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.480 We had to they we had to fight for them 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.120 to leave it. That sketch in its entirety. But the 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.760 reason why I knew something different because I was the 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.200 warm up comic for that show. Like before, when you 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.680 sat down, you know, you go to a show of taping, 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:12.960 there's a guy that comes out. 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:14.960 Did an audience, a lot of studio audience. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.640 And when I tell you, when we dropped that sketch 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:23.880 and every the first time Dave said I'm Rick James bitch, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.080 the place blew up and we knew that we was 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:28.760 on some some other ship. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.520 And so just it was it was Rick James bitch 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:32.720 or is I'm rich bitch? 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:37.880 No, I'm rich, Yeah, I'm rich bitch. That came. That 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.560 came when I did the reparation sketch. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.800 And what people don't know, they like the repstation when 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.080 people yet, But Dave did years ago he did he 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.000 did a specially I think it was called Trick Whitey. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.080 I can't remember, but one of the. 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.440 Jokes he was dressed up as a white guy and 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.480 then he's people was like connect with as a white 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.600 guy and did it the last minute he takes a 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.720 mask off. He says, I'm rich bitch right, And this 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:04.760 was a part of that show. That show was basically 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.159 Dave taken this joke books, making the three dimensional and 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.560 doing so. You would see lines from his specials in 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.720 that show. When we did that line. I had to 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.600 drive that truck down right. First off, I ain't had 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:19.520 no driver's license. 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.159 He was smoking a cigarette, but I was driving a 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.200 cigarette shou. I didn't have no driver's license, but I 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:25.439 didn't want them to not put me in. 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:26.840 The show them Magge says, you got a license? Say 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.760 hell yeah, a't nobody check it? And I had to 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.720 drive the truck down the street. I had to hit 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.359 the mark, not run through the light because we didn't 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.760 have enough money to block off the street. Spielberg and 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.680 I'm coming down. They block off the street. It's all faith. 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:42.760 I had to not we're in Harlem. I had to 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:46.480 not hit the light, go through the light, not run 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.480 the white chick over, take the keys out. 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:49.439 It was a diesel truck. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.439 And then if you hear the music, I mean the 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.320 sound of the injury is going to kill a sick. 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.320 I had to stop that. I had to lean over 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.679 and deliver line, and I kept messing up. I was like, 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.600 I'm rich, bitch did I was like, bitch, some rich, right, 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.000 I'm like I had different variations of that right, And 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:07.399 then Neil look at me. He looked at me and 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.240 he said, yo, Bi, we gotta get this right or 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.480 we're just going to scratch the sketch and out out 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.040 of frustration. I was mad because I was like, you 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.159 kill me, and it was that's why when you're here. 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:17.720 I was like this. 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:20.840 That was. 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:29.879 And then it was like this, so what that is? 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.920 But it was like I look at people talk about 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:38.120 that show. I took advantage of every second I had 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:38.680 on that show. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.320 A lot of people don't know. It was never a cast. 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.280 Nobody auditioned to be on the show. It wasn't like 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.439 all right, we got to write for you. It was 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.960 like you're only as good as your last sketch. So 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.879 I always performed on that show like this might be 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.720 the last time I'm going to perform. I always and 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.920 like I wasn't one of those actors like, well, I. 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.600 Don't get to talk that much. I don't want to 0:18:59.600 --> 0:18:59.879 do this. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.320 I was like, I'm gonna make every anytime that camera 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.119 pans to me, I'm gonna go crazy. And that was 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.920 what if you If an editor were to take how 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:11.760
