Comedian and actor Dave Chappelle is allowing Netflix to bring back his classic “Chappelle’s Show” sketch comedy, months after the streaming service removed the show due to his feud with ViacomCBS.
Netflix To Put ‘Chappelle’s Show’ Back On
During a stand-up performance he posted on Instagram, Dave Chappelle revealed that he’d given Netflix his blessing to put “Chappelle’s Show” back in its library. Chappelle had been battling with ViacomCBS to get paid for the rights to the show, which originally aired from 2003-06.
“I asked you (the fans) to stop watching the show and thank God almighty for you, you did. You made that show worthless because without your eyes it’s nothing. And when you stopped watching it, they called me. And I got my name back and I got my license back and I got my show back and they paid me millions of dollars. Thank you very much.”

Grammys Delayed Due To COVID-19
The Grammy Award ceremony isn’t going down this month. The Recording Academy has issued a statement announcing the shocking setback and delay in its annual televised ceremony. The organization went online to break the shocking news to the world. The current coronavirus pandemic has forced its decision to push the event to mid-March 2021.
“After thoughtful conversations with health experts, our host and artists scheduled to appear, we are rescheduling the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards to be broadcast Sunday, March 14, 2021. The deteriorating COVID situation in Los Angeles, with hospital services being overwhelmed, ICUs having reached capacity, and new guidance from state and local governments have all led us to conclude that postponing our show was the right thing to do. “
