Dave Chappelle Bows Out of Comedy Fest
Dave Chappelle has gone AWOL again.
E! Online reports that this time the comic has bailed on the HBO sponsored Las Vegas’ Comedy Special which runs from until Nov. 18.
No reason was given as to why Chappelle bowed out, and neither the comic’s camp nor HBO would make a statement about why he decided not to participate. It has been reported that Bill Maher will take Chappelle’s spot.
Part of the festival is “Comic Relief,” hosted by Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal, which will air on TBS and HBO. This is the first time Comic Relief has occurred since 1998, and it will benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina.
