Dave Chappelle On James Lipton __ Everybody Is Here To See How Crazy I'm.

"so color was already an issue" was a hilarious bounce back to the green corn memory.

Lipton really was amazing at this. He lived to the age of 93 and passed in 2020. Glad his work will live on since he did it for 24 years.

More than a masterclass about Dave, this is a great insight on his brilliant mom! How accomplished she is! wow! Scholar, PhD pioneer, language erudite, all while going to Dave's stand ups as a teen (drive in, stay, drive home). WOW again! Hats off to Mrs. Yvonne Seon

This is a brilliant way to conduct an interview. Just short, basic, simple questions, and then allow the answers to blossom into natural conversation. Very enlightening in a comfortable, unforced way.

FYI - this aired Feb 12, 2006. The full episode is 90 min.

Chappell is a national treasure ❤

I saw Dave Chappelle in a comedy club in San Francisco. He was the opener for someone else and he was so effing hilarious, the lady following never had a chance. This was before anyone knew who he was. We knew after that night. I’ve never seen a funnier comedian live in my life…

Real comedy questions authority & calls out hypocrisy. It provides society an invaluable service in this respect. Chappelle is one of the greatest in the history of the art form. Even going back to kindergarten, he was calling out green corn. That was just the beginning. This is why censorship & cancel culture is so insidious. We cannot silence our critics. We need the comics as part of our human experience.

The story he tells at 17:25 had a massive impact on my life since I first heard him tell it on this show a long time ago. I think not a week goes by when I don’t think or talk about it. A guy once said to me that if you are worried or fearful of something, then ask yourself, “If the worst possible outcome of the challenge you are facing happens, would you be able to get through it and handle it. If yes, then you should stop being afraid of the thing you’re facing. The answer is almost always ‘yes, I would still be ok if that happened.’” He called it the “Worry Once Method” for dealing with fear. It seemed that Dave figured this out in reality and not through a thought experiment. Thanks for posting this, I’ve been trying to find a copy of this clip for a long time.

A strong family background, his intelligence and comedian genius is a blessing. Such a sharp mind that’s attractive.

I feel as though I should have received college credit for watching James Lipton. Excellent interviewer.

Thank you Dave for your brutal honesty. I know this is old. But I remember this. And we pull from this today. These future actors need to stay grounded. The best in the business.

I didn’t want this interview to end

"What's going on? Nobody knows. Those people aren't crazy- they're strong people. Maybe the environment is a little sick."

Lipton will always be one of the greats! One of the best interviewers to ever do it.

Professor James Lipton was an icon and we miss him a lot.

Comedic genius.

Comedy 🎭 got me through some dark times in my life and will always be grateful for the art.

This is just proof that Dave Chappell is a true genius.

I love how Lipton puts ALL of his guests at ease ❤
