Great clip! Great insights (and laughs). Give it the full 15 minutes of your attention. As David Letterman interviews comedian/actor Dave Chappelle, the two discuss his sudden, astounding, and costly ($50 million he walked away from…50…MILLION) resignation from his Comedy Central show years ago, his memory of a horrible standup experience at Radio City Music Hall (opening for Aretha Franklin) at 19, family life and more.

“Of course I would like to have that money. When you quit, my friends’ll try and make me feel better but no one’s been through that so they’ll say stupid stuff – not stupid stuff, it’s nice – ‘Well, you know what Dave, at the end of the day, you still have your integrity.’ Yeah, that’s great. I’ll go home and make the kids some integrity sandwiches.”
