10. I just watched it. It was okay. Dave was comfortable but definitely not

as articulate as I expected him to be. The pressures - blah, blah blah. He was charming and still pretty funny.

12. I'm watching it now on west coast--here's a link to article:

Dave says he feels he was being socially irresponsible with what he did on his show.

:shrug: Personally, I thought it was satire. Guess I was wrong.

Excerpt from article--

'SOCIALLY IRRESPONSIBLE' SKETCHES

Chappelle told Winfrey in the interview, which was taped last week and aired Friday on her syndicated program, that the producers of his show were "wrong 100 percent of the time about what people would like." He said the show was a "tremendous amount of work" and he became "stressed out ... I was doing sketches that were funny but socially irresponsible."

He cited a sketch in which racist pictures appeared in characters' minds when certain words were used -- including a man in black face, which he used as "the visual personification of the 'N word."' Chappelle said someone on the set laughed in a way that made him know he was being laughed at and not laughed with.

"It was the first time I've gotten a laugh I was uncomfortable with," he said. "I don't want black people to be disappointed in me for putting that out."

13. It was good

I'm sorry to hear him and Brennan had a bit of a falling out. They're a very good team, IMHO.
