Netflix said to be paying Dave Chappelle $60M for new special :wtf:

[JordanWearinThe45]

Dave Chappelle landed a huge deal at Netflix — said to be worth up to $60 million — following his hit “SNL” hosting debut.

The stand-up comic has three specials planned for the streaming giant, it was announced on Monday.

Two hail from Chappelle’s personal archive, while a third will be produced for Netflix. The shows will be released simultaneously next year, and will be Chappelle’s first specials in 12 years. The deal is the talk of the media industry.

One insider said: “Dave was offered $20 million a special. Netflix basically has a war chest for this kind of content. Whether it’s a loss or not, Dave Chappelle’s specials will get a lot of press and bring in new subscribers.”

In 2005, he famously walked away from his successful “Chappelle’s Show” and out of the public eye. But he did later joke that the move left him with $10 million in the bank, rather than $50 million.

For Netflix, the deal comes not long after it landed two stand-up specials from Chris Rock as part of a $40 million deal.

A Netflix rep said, “We don’t comment on the financial terms of our deals.”

A Chappelle rep didn’t get back to us.

Sheeeeeesh!

Very few comics could get this money period.

Off the top who could get this:

Guaranteed: Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy.

Maybe: Louis ck

This some new shyt. Specials were used as a promotional tool for comics. I don't think they was making profit till recently.

it was mentioned already but those SNL skits were underwhelming but i'm still looking forward to this. i just hope it's a stand up instead of skits.

Something not right...can't put my finger on it...but yeah


This is the same man who dipped to the motherland when offered a bigger check than this...then comes back and still is lowkey...then gets brolic and jumps head first into Hollywood, SNL, chilling with Chris Rock on tmz, signing big money deals, hanging with Drake...


Maybe I'm reaching

Man came back and got more money for this doing something his way than the show where he felt he was being comprimised and doubted himself
