Where’s David???
Posted by Bossip Staff
Dave Chappelle was a no show for an event that he was set to co-host:
“Dave Chappelle was no where to be found last night though about 700 people were looking for the comedian to appear on stage at hip-hop journalist and congressional contender Kevin Powell’s campaign fundraiser in Manhattan. Though it cost the jilted fans and supporters upwards of $75 a pop, it could end up costing Powell much more.
Powell, who many remember from MTV’s first season of “The Real World,” has his sights set on kicking 13-term incumbent Ed Towns (Democrat–Fort Greene) out of office in the September Brooklyn primary. It is the second time the young hopeful has run for the office.
As Powell’s team stayed on the phone with Chappelle’s people for hours, trying to pull the show together – apparently the comedian missed two flights in his effort to get to the fundraiser – Chris Rock was backstage in support of the candidate. He declined to take the stage though, “out of respect [for] other comedians.”
SMH that Chris couldn’t take the stage in Chappelle’s absence. Would it have killed the brotha to recycle a couple of jokes for ole Kev? More pics of the failed event just below.

Daaaaaaaaaaam Dave, what’s up wit dat!
:-/
How unfortunate. I think Chris Rock should have stepped in.
I think this is the oddest looking group….top pic.
i betcha Chris Rock didn’t step in because he doesn’t work for free..
Dave are you still running away from ‘network tv’?
i’m sure everyone is gonna come in here and clown Chris…
point is, it was not his RESPONSIBILITY to take the stage…Dave was supposed to, so I’m not knocking him for not taking the stage
Chris and his wife showed up to support the campaign..is that not enough? Let it go BOSSIP
Chris is making such strange faces. He really don’t look happy. Gotta by the ***** eh Chris? But yeah he should have stepped up. Malaak has way too much hair. And I really don’t get the dress she has on. Maybe it looked better up close???
Oh & go kevin! Support from a real world fan the first season was the all time BEST!
Dave Chappelle is falling off big time…he just needs check himself in rehab and get help……IM JUST SAYIN!
Oops I should have said former real world fan. Go Kevin!
well said Mr Mr
I wish Kevin the best. Unfortunate that Dave missed the flights, but Chris probably was not prepared to host. I guess he had to choose between continuing to do what he came to do or risk bombing b/c of lack of preparation. You know that comedians and their teams write and practice their material before performances.
Its funny I almost paid to go to this event. Glad I didn’t, I do wish Kevin the best. I met him a few times at different events, very smart and p*****ionate about ushering in a new era.
Why did this guy book Chappelle to host in the first place?
Did everyone forget that Chappelle ran away from that mega million $$$$ tv deal and ended up somewhere in South Africa.
Talk about unstable.
Wow, that Jurnee chick is looking good these days. I wonder what happen to the rest of the Smollett clan? I know her brothers were looking fine as well. Chris Rock wife is just too pretty.

Kevin Powell has the best parties, I say. You see all the buppies there. They should have just had the fundraiser without saying Chappelle was headling.
Dave was shopping on http://www.tuhhc.com
Some people are so stupid. Dave did not “run away” from Comedy Central because he was unstable. He left because he said he refused to sell his soul for any amount of money. The show was already controversial and he was having second thoughts about some of the content, and the network wanted to take it to the next level. Just imagine what type of jokes and skit they would be doing regarding “jiggaboo’s”
Lets not blame Chris for Dave’s irresponsibility. A performer needs time to prepare. How would it have turned out if he went out there and bombed? Nah, this one is firmly on Dave’s shoulders. Still I read that this was causing some people to not vote for Kevin and that is ridiculous. My people have fallen pretty far if they would base their vote on a comedian’s performance.
Dave Chappelle do what the f@@@ he want to do. Im rich Biatch!! I love it.
Dave is a mess when it comes to appearances…he just don’t give a crap…wonder if he still smokin’ that wack mess…
LOVE QUEST LOVE!! Um…Maalak is pretty but she really does have that Peg Bundy thing going on with her hair…especially in the first thumb nail.
Dammit Dave…missed two flights. Come on. Put that blunt down and get your priorities handled first and then pick it back up!
Emily King looks like Old School Teena MArie in that first pic…
It’s bad enough we have a Community organizer who thinks he can be president. Now they want to elect REAL WORLD idiots to Congress?????
WHat’s next? Pizza delivery guy for Mayor???
man, i loooved me some dave, still do! but WHAT HAPPENED???
youtube.com/liondashs
that is one big azz weave/wig maalak has on
It’s obvious. Dave was hittin’ the pipe and missed his flight. And I’m not talking about weed….
I love Chris Rock…that dude is the truth! I loved his No Apologies Tour. Can’t wait for the dvd!
I agree with Lou in chicago,
But if you wanna revive the Chappelle show just put a coupla cameras on a few street corners in the deep south, that sh8t is coonish comical!
Chris Rock isn’t joke-o-matic. They prepare and rehe***** these routines and he probably felt ill-prepared. I do not blame him a bit. He probably spared himself a CHRIS ROCK IS LAME AND LOSING HIS TOUCH post.
Wow, I hope Powell win.
It’s good to see Powell getting ready to enter the real ranks. I’m so glad to see it. I hope more will wake up and join the movement, upward. Dave should feel bad, that’s wrong to stand up a friend, especially if he said he would be there…
Why is Bossip trying to throw dirt on Chris Rock?
The brutha isn’t responsible for Dave Chappelle.
Also, the “in respect of other comedians” part to me sounds like he didn’t want to make it look like he was dissing Chappelle or something. “Chappelle can’t make it, lets put Chris Rock on”…thats the kinda ***** you just aren’t supposed to do, all these entertainers have ego’s, Rock probably knows that better then anyone, and he just was being respectful.
wow!
dang jurnee looking good as hells. she was there with questlove from the roots. i thought they weren’t dating no more. glad she likes the real dudes. i know quest is loving that. lol.
I THOUGHT CHRIS ROCK WAS DIVORCED ????
