Dave Chappelle recently appeared on ‘Late Show With David Letterman’. Of course the two talked about Chappelle’s popular program that stopped airing nearly a decade ago.

Not only do people miss the show, but many wonder why he would walk away from a TV deal worth millions of dollars. When Letterman asked why he left, Chappelle comically replied “Listen. Here it is. Technically, I never quit. I'm seven years late for work.”
