| 00:00:02 | Weekends were to see why people were working,
tuesday I was figuring out--
what's wrong with these people?
|
| 00:00:11 | To watch a comedian bomb is-is one of the
greatest
things in the world, I love it, and then
at that point,
I was talking to a comedian after one of
the shows,
and, uh, and the owner of the comedy club,
and they were both saying, you know, "if
you want to
"be a good comedian, you've gotta take acting
classes,"
and they didn't explain it, but after that
I went home
and I said, "mom, I gotta take acting classes,"
and that's how the duke ellington thing started.
|
| 00:00:45 | That's a school of the arts, right?
|
| 00:00:47 | Yeah.
|
| 00:00:47 | And what did you study there?
|
| 00:00:49 | .. the school was incredible.
|
| 00:00:52 | You--classical acting, modern acting,
improvisation, technical theater,
script analysis, uh, script writing.
|
| 00:01:04 | Did you work while you were in school in
washington?
|
| 00:01:06 | Yeah, okay, let's run down the list.
|
| 00:01:10 | ..
|
| 00:01:14 | Summer between '87-'88 school year--excuse
me.
|
| 00:01:23 | (laughter and applause)
This is a tradition.
|
| 00:01:29 | The first person in the 11 and a half years
of this series who ever smoked on stage was
sean penn,
and the students applauded him then.
|
| 00:01:36 | Tonight you light up a cigarette, the students--
what have you got about cigarettes?
|
| 00:01:40 | You like cigarettes?
|
| 00:01:41 | They applaud when you smoke.
|
| 00:01:42 | I don't know about you all,
BUT THIS (bleep) IS STRESSIN' ME OUT.
|
| 00:01:47 | (laughter and applause)
I feel like I'm confessin' and stuff.
|
| 00:01:58 | I'm starting to feel like I'm on trial
"
I mean, you know, I don't know.
|
| 00:02:04 | I was a child and talked so wild, mr. lipton.
|
| 00:02:10 | All right, so, uh, all right, the first job,
and, remember, this is when people were making
50 an hour,
august, I had to dress up in a cookie costume.
|
| 00:02:24 | I'M NOT BULL(bleep)ING YOU.
|
| 00:02:26 | It was a cookie costume with chocolate chips,
and a big chocolate chip on my head, sweating,
and I had to hand out flyers for this place
called the cookie-cookie bag.
|
| 00:02:38 | When I started at duke ellington it was like,
00 in
the morning
00 at night,
so work stopped for a while, and then, you
know,
the nightclub thing kicked in.
|
| 00:02:55 | (applause)
Yeah, I mean, like,a lot of white kids,
you got things accessibleto you like, uh,
therapy.
|
| 00:03:03 | We don't have that.
|
| 00:03:07 | We have liquorstores and weed.
|
| 00:04:21 | a
asks
(from phone) "Did you see my email?"
You can say "yep-got it right here."
Or, if you're chatting with a buddy, and
he says,
(from phone) "Hey, can you change that reservation?"
You can say "sure."
Or you're talking to your wife who says,
(from phone) "I can't believeour anniversary
is a week away."
You can say "Me neither."
All without ever leaving thecall.
|
| 00:04:46 | Can your phone...and yournetwork...do that?
|
| 00:05:50 | Hi, may I help you?
|
| 00:05:52 | Yes, I hear

|
| 00:05:56 | Can I get in on that?

|

|
| 00:06:10 | There's no discount
for agreeing with me.
|
| 00:06:12 | Yeah, I got
carried away.
|
| 00:06:14 | Happens to me
all the time.
|
| 00:06:15 | Helping you save money --
now, that's progressive.
|
| 00:06:18 | Call or click today.
|
| 00:07:45 | Ographical?
|
| 00:07:47 | Still don't talk about myself.
|
| 00:07:49 | It isn't?
|
| 00:07:50 | Uh, yes, but never directly, I don't want
to give away my secret recipe, but originally
my plan was, I'll go to school, and then
after
I graduate I'll start stand- up, but then
I was like,
I'm going to the club after school.
|
| 00:08:04 | It's tuesday, so I'm gonna go to that open
mike night.
|
| 00:08:06 | I've been practicing with a candlestick in
the mirror,
I felt like I was ready, and I told my family
I was going, told my mom, you know, "i'm
going,
"i don't want you to come, I'm gonna go by
myself,
"it's something I gotta do" and whatever,
whatever,
so of course she shows up with my grandmother
and-and my brother.
|
| 00:08:27 | The emcee introduced me,
..
|
| 00:08:31 | "You know, folks, everybody's gotta start
sometime,
"and tonight is this young man's first time
on stage,
"who knows"--exactly what he says, "who knows?
|
| 00:08:41 | "You may be witnessing the birth of a star.
|
| 00:08:44 | "
(laughter)
And I went up there, man, and I was scared,
and I used to look at my feet when I started,
and I said the first joke looking down at
my feet,
and they laughed,
..
|
| 00:09:10 | And then I looked back down at my feet and
said
another one, and after the set, you know,
the crowd was going crazy.
|
| 00:09:19 | I think I did two and a half minutes,
but they were going crazy.
|
| 00:09:23 | I was 14, probably looked like I was 11.
|
| 00:09:25 | I was telling jokes about jesse jackson
running for president, and alf's spaceship
landing
in a black neighborhood.
|
| 00:09:35 | (applause)
'Cause before going on I was scared,
and I told my grandmother, like,
"you might hear me say some things that you
might not
"want to hear your grandson say,"
AND SHE SAID, "JUST RELAX AND DO THAT (bleep),"
"
I had never heard her curse.
|
| 00:09:53 | So it went-it went great, and then here's
the kicker--
so then I go to school the next day,
you know, feeling like a million bucks,
and I go and I'm telling all the kids at
school,
"guess what I did last night--
"comedy club, ripped it,
"the crowd was going crazy, you know,"
and you know what they said?
|
| 00:10:15 | "Cool," and that was the beginning of a dual
life.
|
| 00:10:23 | By day I was clark kent,
and at night I was superman, you know?
|
| 00:10:32 | Pretty girls in school might look at me
and be like, "oh, dave, you're so funny,"
but I wouldn't date 'em, but at night I'd
date women
your mother's age if I wanted to.
|
| 00:10:44 | Did you move to new york to do some stuff?
|
| 00:10:46 | Yeah, 'cause I said, "i'm gonna go to that
apollo
"
I went for the regular wednesday amateur
night.
|
| 00:10:55 | ..
|
| 00:10:57 | Oh, god.
|
| 00:10:58 | I-i-i still remember that boo.
|
| 00:11:02 | I'd never been booed off stage before,
but I just remember looking out
and seeing like everybody booing--everybody.
|
| 00:11:13 | Even the old people.
|
| 00:11:15 | I was like, "who-who boos a child pursuing
"
it was the meanest crowd in the world,
and that siren went off,
and that dude comes out tap dancing--
(making music sounds)
Sand man.
|
| 00:11:31 | Sand man.
|
| 00:11:32 | I WANTED TO CHOKE THE (bleep) OUT OF--"I
..
|
| 00:11:39 | And that was the best thing that ever
happened to me, best thing, because before
that time,
I had never bombed, let alone got booed off
stage,
and bombing was horrifying.
|
| 00:11:52 | Nobody wants to bomb-- nobody, you know?
|
| 00:11:55 | People say, "you do comedy,
"
"i don't know," so that night was liberating
because I failed so far beyond my wildest
nightmares
of failing, that it was like, hey, they're
all booing,
my friends are here watching, my mom,
this is not that bad, and after that I was
fearless.
|
| 00:12:19 | To get into the new york comedy circuit,
it's a very closed circuit, and i-i got in
all these clubs in like a week, two weeks.
|
| 00:12:30 | Like, that's just reputation--
"have you seen this kid, have you seen this
"
I was like that dude.
|
| 00:12:37 | How old were you when you made your first
tv development deal?
|
| 00:12:41 | 19.
|
| 00:12:42 | My mother and my grandmother were freaked
out, you know?
|
| 00:12:45 | I was the first person in my family
not to go to college, that had not been a
slave.
|
| 00:12:50 | Right.
|
| 00:12:52 | So I was really breaking from tradition,
and, uh,
it was like a graduation lunch we were having,
and they had my dad come and talk to me,
and my dad
takes me outside, and he's like, "listen,"
and this
is some advice that applies to all you acting
students,
he says, "to be an actor is a lonely life.
|
| 00:13:15 | "Everybody wants to make it and you might
not make it,"
and I said to my dad, "well-well, that depends
on
"what making it is, dad," I was a smart-smart
ass kid,
"
"
"
I said, "if I can make a teacher's salary
doing comedy,
"i think that's better than being a teacher,"
and he started laughing.
|
| 00:13:38 | He said, "if you keep that attitude,
"i think you should go,"
he said, "but name your price in the beginning.
|
| 00:13:48 | "If it ever gets more expensive than the
price
"
thus, africa.
|
| 00:13:57 | (applause)
Oh, man, you guys are gonna learn a lot tonight.
|
| 00:14:10 | What can they learn?
|
| 00:14:11 | You know, like, you guys are students now,
so you're idealists, but you don't know about
where art
and corporate interests meet yet.
|
| 00:14:20 | Just prepare to have your heart broken, like
in a way--
you see him laughing that evil laugh?
|
| 00:14:29 | (evil laugh)
Because he knows, man, and everybody laughs
at me,
but just get your africa tickets ready, baby,
because it's coming, it's coming, you have
no idea.
|
| 00:14:49 | The first pilot I did was called "i'm the
man",
and-and it-it didn't get picked up.
|
| 00:14:57 | It was real painful,
'cause I had experienced nothing but success.
|
| 00:15:02 | Took it like a bitch, man, I was really upset,
and that's when I started smokin' that weed,
man.
|
| 00:15:10 | It just made me feel better, man.
|
| 00:15:12 | I'm not trying to tell kids to do it.
|
| 00:15:14 | As a matter of fact, I wouldn't tell anybody
to do it,
but that's how I dealt with my problems,
and at the time it was working out great,
baby.
|
| 00:15:21 | I was smoking that weed.
|
| 00:15:25 | (silence, then laughter)
Just being--i'm just being real, you know?
|
| 00:15:31 | (applause)
You know what I mean?
|
| 00:15:36 | Like a lot of white kids, you got things
accessible to you like, uh, therapy.
|
| 00:15:41 | We don't have that.
|
| 00:15:44 | We have liquor stores and weed.
|
| 00:15:47 | (laughter and applause)
You've called "the nutty professor"
one of your favorite film assignments.
|
| 00:15:56 | Why?
|
| 00:15:57 | I just remember the first day at work,
and I'm walking on the set, um, this fat
dude comes up
like, "hey, man, you're real funny," I'm
"
oh, it was--yeah, eddie murphy,
he had that makeup on, and he knew my jokes.
|
| 00:16:12 | He started telling obscure jokes I did,
like he knew 'em, and every day we would
do takes, man,
I mean, somewhere this footage exists,
and when they say cut,
I mean, those extras would be cheering.
|
| 00:16:24 | I mean, it was like me and eddie were--
we were dancing, and eddie would drop these
jewels
on me, you know, when we're working,
and he was a real wise dude,
seen a lot of eddie murphy, and he was the
guy
"
he's like, "the way you tell jokes, you-you
think
"in pictures, and you can write.
|
| 00:16:42 | "You should start doing it,"
and that was the big "nutty professor" breakthrough.
|
| 00:16:48 | In "the nutty professor", dave plays a severely
manic comic named reggie warrington, who
uses
his comic skills to humiliate eddie murphy
as the hapless sherman klump.
|
| 00:17:06 | It's a full moon tonight.
|
| 00:17:10 | I think I found what I hear--
jimmy hoffa, yep-yep-yep!
|
| 00:17:19 | Yeah, that's a good one there.
|
| 00:17:23 | Whoa, boy, you got more crack than harlem.
|
| 00:17:25 | Look at that.
|
| 00:17:29 | Boy's so fat,
every time I turn around it's his birthday.
|
| 00:17:34 | He gotta put his belt on with a boomerang.
|
| 00:17:38 | (laughter)
Okay, all right now, all right, that's it,
you got me.
|
| 00:17:48 | Oh, no, no, I ain't got ya yet.
|
| 00:17:50 | Should I get him?
|
| 00:17:52 | (crowd) YEAH!
|
| 00:17:53 | Should I get him?
|
| 00:17:55 | (crowd) YEAH.
|
| 00:17:55 | Oh, look at this, he's with a woman too.
|
| 00:17:59 | Oh, no!
|
| 00:18:00 | Who is sucking whose titties over here?
|
| 00:18:04 | (laughter)
(laughter and applause)
A lesson for this evening-- comedy can be
cruel.
|
| 00:18:26 | Somewhere there's a black professor watching
this
"
but that-that makes me laugh saying that,
'cause
I remember when I said the "who's sucking
whose titties" line,
and eddie was like doing sherman, and he
was drinking
when I said it, and water shot out of his
nose,
and he said, "i'm sorry, I'm sorry,
"i wasn't expecting that," and that was the
best feeling,
like, to make eddie murphy break character
was very--
to this day, man, forget the emmy nomination.
|
| 00:19:00 | That was like-- that was the best.
|
| 00:19:05 | The worst thing to callsomebody is crazy.
|
| 00:19:08 | It's dismissive--"i don'tunderstand this
person,
SO THEY'RE CRAZY"--THAT'S BULL(bleep).

How did you guys work?
|
| 00:23:40 | I can't remember, I was high, man.
|
| 00:23:43 | The night before we had these series of pitch
meetings,
we were like, "man, we don't have a story,"
and at that time, you know, I drank a little
beer,
so we drank some beer.
|
| 00:23:56 | Neal doesn't smoke weed, I smoked me some
weed,
and suddenly we had this story,
this weird story about killing a police horse
and needing to raise money,
and it was really weird the way it happened,
man,
"
I liked smoking weed so much that I thought
I should make a movie about it.
|
| 00:24:24 | And it was inspired, man.
|
| 00:24:29 | It was like, you know, it was inspiring.
|
| 00:24:34 | When that script came out, me and neal,
we were hot as a pistol for a week.
|
| 00:24:39 | It was--the script was way better than the
movie.

| 00:27:05 | Martin lawrence is the guy that showed everybody
to hollywood,
and, uh, I had a personal stake in his success.
|
| 00:27:15 | Every time he did something,
it made me feel inspired and really good,
and he was always real nice to me.
|
| 00:27:22 | He'd sit me down,
"
we'd talk about comedy whatever, and, uh,
you know,
when we did "blue streak", we were promoting
it,
and martin had a stroke, he almost died,
and then after that I saw him, and I was
like,
"
and he said, "i got the best sleep
"
that's how tough he is.
|
| 00:27:48 | So let me ask you this--
what is happening in hollywood that a guy
that tough will be on the street waving a
gun
screaming, "they are trying to kill me"?
|
| 00:27:58 | Yeah. what's going on?
|
| 00:28:00 | Why is dave chappelle going to africa?
|
| 00:28:02 | Why does mariah carey make a $100 million
deal
and take her clothes off on "trl"?
|
| 00:28:07 | A weak person cannot get to sit here and
talk to you.
|
| 00:28:11 | Ain't no weak people talking to you,
so what is happening in hollywood?
|
| 00:28:15 | Nobody knows.
|
| 00:28:16 | The worst thing to call somebody is crazy,
it's dismissive.
|
| 00:28:20 | "I don't understand this person, so they're
crazy,"
THAT'S BULL(bleep).
|
| 00:28:25 | These people are not crazy, they're strong
people.
|
| 00:28:28 | Maybe the environment is a little sick.
|
| 00:28:32 | (applause and cheering)
Oh, I'm dropping dimes tonight.
|
| 00:29:06 | I've had a long year, mr. lipton.
|
| 00:29:10 | We're on our way.
|
| 00:29:13 | What did you mean, dave, when you described
your father's death in 1998 as the beginning
of a terrible decline?
|
| 00:29:21 | I was 23 when I was doing "half baked",
I was getting ready to turn 24, and I was
going through
all the things that a dude goes through
when he goes from one level to the next.
|
| 00:29:30 | I was starring in my-- a movie that I wrote,
so things start getting crazy around you.
|
| 00:29:37 | Yeah.
|
| 00:29:38 | And my 24th birthday was coming on august
THE 24th,
And I said, "this is gonna be a big one,"
and the morning that I turned 24, the phone
rang,
"
for the next year, I watched my father teeter
on life
and death, and it was just all this stuff,
man.
|
| 00:30:13 | Like, I was a--dad was dying, "half baked"
didn't come out the way I wanted it to come
out.
|
| 00:30:20 | I was real upset about that,
'cause it was a real cool script,
and then I saw it, I was like, "hey, man,
"you made a weed movie for kids,"
and it wasn't a "for kids" script, you know?
|
| 00:30:30 | It was all these things and so much pressure.
|
| 00:30:34 | Africa.
|
| 00:30:35 | Then i, um, I was in ohio, I got a call on
my cell phone
from hollywood, I'm like, "hello, hollywood,"
"
they're like, "that pilot you did for fox,
uh,
"looks like they want to pick it up.
|
| 00:30:51 | "We need you to come out 'cause they want
"to meet with you," and I was like, "well,
listen,
"i can't really come out right now.
|
| 00:30:56 | "I got a real bad situation at home.
|
| 00:30:58 | "
"no, no, they would rather meet with you
"
agh!
|
| 00:31:05 | But, you know, like the horror that they
turn this into,
I jumped on that plane and left my father's
bedside,
which I regret to this day, and I went out
and I sat with these people in this room,
and if you can imagine a large circle of
people,
and I was 12:00-- the black dude.
|
| 00:31:25 | "Yeah, dave, we really like the show,"
but the-the pilot episode was about me
getting booed off stage at the apollo.
|
| 00:31:30 | They go, you know, "but what are we gonna
do about it?
|
| 00:31:32 | "I mean, there's not really any white people
"
I said"well, it's about the apollo.
|
| 00:31:36 | "
"well, you know, we were thinking about the
girl
"on the show, we didn't think she was that
funny,"
"
..
|
| 00:31:45 | And they start using terms like "universal
appeal,"
basically saying they want me to recast the
girl
with a white woman.
|
| 00:31:56 | I say, "yeah, I don't think I can do this,"
and-and I quit.
|
| 00:32:00 | On the cover ofvariety--
"
"the race card," and I get calls fromnewsweek,
"
man, I'm scared to death.
|
| 00:32:16 | I'M LIKE ROSA PARKS OR SOME (bleep).
|
| 00:32:18 | Like, I'm not ready for this.
|
| 00:32:19 | I was just venting a little bit.
|
| 00:32:21 | And then a few months later dad dies,
and that's hard for a young dude in his life.
|
| 00:32:32 | That's a-that's a real tough loss.
|
| 00:32:34 | I was there when he died,
and he went from being my father
"
within moments it was over,
and I'm going through all of this stuff,
and this is the guy I would usually talk
to, right?
|
| 00:32:47 | Dad.
|
| 00:32:47 | Now I gotta figure this out for myself.
|
| 00:32:49 | I don't wanna figure this out for myself,
you know?
|
| 00:32:52 | I was beat down, I wasn't living right,
you know what I mean?
|
| 00:32:55 | Like, the weed thing was just a bad habit
at this point,
and-and you know what I mean?
|
| 00:33:02 | All these, you know, chicken-head girls
you're messing with.
|
| 00:33:06 | It comes with the territory.
|
| 00:33:07 | I'm just being real, just being real.
|
| 00:33:10 | I just wasn't living right, man.
|
| 00:33:14 | I didn't feel good,
and-and the stand-up stuff was just some
angry stuff.
|
| 00:33:20 | It was just like I was kind of bottoming
out,
but when my dad died, because I'd been commuting
back and forth to ohio so much,
that's when I bought the farm,
WHICH I CALLED IT THE (bleep) YOU HOLLYWOOD
Farm.
|
| 00:33:36 | Did you stay in yellow springs for a while?
|
| 00:33:39 | I live there to this day.
|
| 00:33:41 | I go--i live there to this day.
|
| 00:33:43 | I'm raising my kids there.
|
| 00:33:45 | Look, man, at that point in your life
it's something so real,
in contrast to what hollywood is,
a very powerful illusion,
and when your dad dies it kinda just broke
the spell,
LIKE, "WHOA, THIS IS BULL(bleep)."
I've been spending so much time doing this,
what about my family?
|
| 00:34:07 | What about my friends?
|
| 00:34:07 | Wait, whatever happened to my friends?
|
| 00:34:09 | Damn, I don't even have any friends,
so I bounced, man, and the new year's eve
1999,
i-i moved into that farm, and that was it.
|
| 00:34:24 | As far as I was concerned I was done with
show business.
|
| 00:34:31 | When I'm on stage, I getreal happy up there.
|
| 00:34:34 | Like maybe that's the onlytime in my adult
life
that I feel like myself.

mean,

you,

|
| 00:40:24 | Good feeling.
|
| 00:40:25 | Yeah, it's the best feeling, man.
|
| 00:40:27 | I love stand-up.
|
| 00:40:28 | In 2000 you taped a concert for hbo.
|
| 00:40:31 | Yeah.
|
| 00:40:31 | You called it "killin' them softly".
|
| 00:40:34 | "Killin' them softly".
|
| 00:40:37 | (applause)
To borrow a comedian's term of art,
dave killed in that concert.
|
| 00:40:50 | 00 in the morning, I look out the
window,
THERE WAS A (bleep)ING BABY STANDING ON THE
Corner.
|
| 00:40:59 | (applause)
And the baby-the baby didn't even look scared.
|
| 00:41:09 | He was just standing there.
|
| 00:41:11 | (applause)
I mean, it made me sad, it made me sad, really,
'cause,
you know what I mean, 'cause I wanted to
help the baby.
|
| 00:41:22 | I was like, "i don't trust you either.
|
| 00:41:25 | .. click."
"the old baby on the corner trick, eh?
|
| 00:41:33 | "NOT GONNA FALL FOR THAT (bleep)."
'Cause where's this limousine driver, you
know?
|
| 00:41:41 | I started feeling bad.
|
| 00:41:42 | As time goes by I started feeling worse,
like, "man, what is wrong with me?
|
| 00:41:46 | "What the hell's wrong?
|
| 00:41:47 | "I am scared of a baby,
"and this baby could be in trouble.
|
| 00:41:50 | "He might need my help, I gotta do something,"
but I wasn't gonna get out the car.
|
| 00:41:57 | I'm serious, man.
|
| 00:41:59 | I just cracked the window a little bit.
|
| 00:42:02 | It was an old limousine, I can roll it down.
|
| 00:42:07 | (applause)
"Hey, baby, baby, go home, man.
|
| 00:42:19 | "It's 3:00 in the morning.
|
| 00:42:20 | "WHAT THE (bleep) ARE YOU DOING UP?"
"
I SAID, "OH, (bleep)."
(applause)
The setup for this is that- is that his limo
driver
says he's gotta stop somewhere,
so he stops in the ghetto,
and it's dave in the ghetto in a limo.
|
| 00:42:48 | Huh?
|
| 00:42:50 | He gets it, that's it.
|
| 00:42:52 | But the thing is that you-you do exactly
what a-what a honky would do in the ghetto.
|
| 00:42:56 | .. that is exactly
right.
|
| 00:42:59 | You lock the doors, right?
|
| 00:43:01 | So you have ambivalent feelings.
|
| 00:43:02 | You're both--you're drawn to it and you're--
and I'm afraid.
|
| 00:43:05 | Listen, man, black people don't like the
ghetto.
|
| 00:43:09 | It's like you and me, you mean.
|
| 00:43:12 | Yeah.
|
| 00:43:13 | Don't nobody, you know, nobody wants to live
in the ghetto, but the joke is so dope,
man, I gotta pat myself on the back,
because it's based off of true stories.
|
| 00:43:28 | Yes, the joke starts out I'm in a limousine.
|
| 00:43:32 | I knew he was taking me to the ghetto,
'cause I'm looking out the window,
I'm like, "gun store, gun store, liquor store--
"
boom, so, okay, there's a little statement,
but it's not preachy--it's not--
but I'm just painting a picture.
|
| 00:43:44 | I'm painting a picture, right?
|
| 00:43:46 | Then we get to the ghetto,
and then I do the baby standing on the corner.
|
| 00:43:51 | That was in washington.
|
| 00:43:53 | I saw some kids running around playing
and I was like, "who has their kids just
running out
"
okay, true story.
|
| 00:44:05 | Now did the baby talk to me?
|
| 00:44:08 | No!
|
| 00:44:09 | Was he selling weed?
|
| 00:44:12 | No!
|
| 00:44:12 | But I was making a point, you know?
|
| 00:44:13 | I was making a very subtle point, and here
I am,
a black man in a limousine--
now we're getting to the class issues.
|
| 00:44:22 | Right.
|
| 00:44:23 | In the ghetto.
|
| 00:44:24 | So it's truth in jest.
|
| 00:44:26 | You know, people, I pride myself on saying
REAL (bleep) THAT PEOPLE DON'T EVEN NOTICE
I'm saying, but they feel it,
'cause when people come up to me, they-they
say it,
"i loved-i loved that," uh, they can feel
it,
but I don't think they really know,
so when you pointed that out,
I was very impressed, man,
AND-AND THEN SOMETIMES I JUST TELL (bleep)
Jokes.
|
| 00:44:48 | That's the beauty of it.
|
| 00:44:50 | One of the virtues of the work of black comedians
is that it provides, for the rest of us,
and for the black population as well,
insights into black life and black thinking,
that quite simply would never occur
.. like
this.
|
| 00:45:11 | Terrorists don't take black hostages.
|
| 00:45:16 | That's the truth.
|
| 00:45:18 | I have yet to see one of us on the news
reading a hostage letter, "um, uh, they is
treatin'
"US GOOD, UH, WE ARE CHILLIN' AND (bleep).
|
| 00:45:31 | "Uh, I'd like to give a shout out to ray-ray
"
(applause)
You're not gonna see it.
|
| 00:45:47 | Terrorists are smart.
|
| 00:45:49 | They know what they're doing there, you know?
|
| 00:45:50 | They terrorists, they know that black people
is bad bargaining chips.
|
| 00:45:58 | They call up the white house and just,
"
(applause)
What a good joke.
|
| 00:46:13 | That stuff is harsh.
|
| 00:46:17 | It's lovely.
|
| 00:46:18 | I noticed with both martin and you,
..
|
| 00:46:26 | (laughter)
I can talk like that.
|
| 00:46:31 | (laughter)
Now don't make fun of me--
that when you play white dudes,
your speech is pitch perfect, which led me
to realize
that either one of you could, if you wished,
speak that way all the time.
|
| 00:46:52 | In other words, is it a matter of choice?
|
| 00:46:56 | Every black american is bilingual, all of
'em.
|
| 00:47:07 | We speak street vernacular, and we speak
job interview.
|
| 00:47:13 | There's a certain way I gotta speak to have
access.
|
| 00:47:20 | If I'm sitting across the table from a studio
exec,
you know, sometimes they'll do it to me.
|
| 00:47:26 | "
I say, "hold up, hold up, no, no, no, no,
no,"
and I gotta-i gotta throw out them big words.
|
| 00:47:32 | I gotta let them know that my parents
are probably smarter than your parents.
|
| 00:47:36 | And much better educated.
|
| 00:47:37 | They're much better educated than your parents,
but they may not have had the access
that your parents had, but this is show business.
|
| 00:47:45 | I can climb that socioeconomical ladder,
just off the merit of my skills,
I CAN TALK THAT (bleep).
|
| 00:47:52 | It's a god-given gift, so, you know,
yeah, I speak in street vernacular,
'cause when I'm talkin' to an audience of
people,
I feel comfortable, it's like an extension,
really,
of crowds of, like, my friends, they're the
most--
it's the most consistent part of my life
since I was 14,
..
|
| 00:48:14 | I understand.
|
| 00:48:15 | I gotta use that job interview--
"
that's a small club, man,that's a weird place
to be.
|
| 00:48:25 | There ain't reallyno going back.

| 00:48:27 | You can't-youcan't get unfamous.

like what those of the white persuasion eat.
|
| 00:52:41 | Care for a glass of grape juice?
|
| 00:52:42 | WHAT... NIGGER, WHAT THE (bleep) IS JUICE?
|
| 00:52:48 | I want some grape drink baby, um, it's purple.
|
| 00:52:53 | I don't think I know what a grape drink is.
|
| 00:52:57 | What?
|
| 00:52:59 | I have some apple juice, if you want.
|
| 00:53:00 | WHAT THE (bleep) IS JUICE?
|
| 00:53:03 | I want some apple drink, it's green.
|
| 00:53:13 | Remember that commercial for sunny delite
when all
the kids run in from outside playing, and
they
..
|
| 00:53:21 | All right I got some purple stuff,
some sunny d, as soon as they say sunny d
all the kids go, "yeah".
|
| 00:53:29 | Watch the black kid in the back, if you ever
see that
commercial again, look at that black kid,
he be like
"
that's drink nigger, that is drink.
|
| 00:53:41 | They want-they want drink, don't want all
them
vitamins nigger, I want drink, sugar, water,
purple,
that's the ingredients, sugar, water,
and of course, purple.
|
| 00:54:07 | That is funny.
|
| 00:54:09 | Damn right it is.
|
| 00:54:10 | Can you see a time in your life ever, when
you won't
be doing stand-up?
|
| 00:54:13 | This past year, I did the least stand-up
I've done
since I started, cause I was freaked out
man, with
the fame thing, and-and being called crazy,
and drug addict, and all these things, uh,
it scared
me, you know, being treated that way, it's
like I'm
NOT A PERSON ANYMORE, YOU SAY THIS (bleep)
About me
in front of my children, and who, really
like,
WHO THE (bleep) DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY
Are?
|
| 00:54:46 | And they don't know what happened, you know,
I have-i have not spoken about what-what
would make
a person walk off the set of a successful
show,
and go to africa, but again people don't
understand it,
so they call me crazy, and I don't like that.
|
| 00:55:03 | What should they understand, dave?
|
| 00:55:05 | What should they understand?
|
| 00:55:07 | Well I did two seasons, and it was very easy,
not very easy, but I didn't go to africa,
and then
suddenly when I'm getting paid what they
said was
$50 million, I can't do it anymore, nobody
knows.
|
| 00:55:27 | Nobody remembers that I walked away from
this show
twice last season, nobody asked about-nobody
asked
about that, you know, and-and one of these
magazines,newsweek, it's a very credible
magazine,
and they're saying I'm, you know maybe i
smoke
crack, and it was all innuendo, and a magazine
as credible asnewsweek, I was very surprised
that-that this was happening, and then
I gotta make some real choices man, is that
what I want for myself?
|
| 00:55:59 | Did I get too big?
|
| 00:56:01 | Cause I like people, I like entertaining.
|
| 00:56:05 | And the higher up I go, for some reason,
the less happy
I am, you know, is it gonna get to the point
where I'm
doing a striptease on "trl", or waving a
gun
on the street, saying they're trying to kill
me?
|
| 00:56:21 | No I'm not gonna let it get to that point,
I'm gonna go to africa, I'm gonna find a
way
to, I'm gonna find a way to be myself man,
I gotta-i gotta you know, I'm an artist man,
I'm, you know I don't need a sneaker deal,
I mean I'd like one if, but-but that's kinda
not, that's not the need that makes you guys
go to
school, you're not in this school right now,
because you want a sneaker deal, it'd be
nice,
but that's-that's not why you're here,right?
|
| 00:56:51 | You're not here because you know, you'd like
to be
in the movies, but it, to act or to entertain,
or to, it's a need that maybe a lot of your
friends
don't even understand, but you got that need,
and you
have your dreams, and there's only six studios
man, there's only six agencies man, this
is
a small controlled thing, and I don't like
having to
beg for the spotlight man, you know the machine
is
good for us, and we're good for the machine,
and it should be-should be fair man, it should
be fair.
|
| 00:57:30 | What did you find in africa that was an
anecdote to that?
|
| 00:57:34 | .. well, a lot of things,
first of all, I'm a muslim, I don't necessarily
practice
the way a good muslim is supposed to practice,
but I believe in these tenets, and in africa
there's
a small community of people that don't know
anything
about the work I do, and they just treat
me like
I'm a regular dude, so I knew that in africa
I'd have a place to sleep, and that I wouldn't
have to
feel strange, and you know, when they would
call
me crackhead and all these things in the
country
where I'm from, in africa they didn't know
anything.
|
| 00:58:11 | They was feeding me and taking care of me,
and taking me to the mall, and just regular
stuff,
and it just made me feel good, it reminded
me that
I was a person, you know.
|
| 00:58:22 | I didn't even know they was saying those
things
about me, then I called home, and people
be like,
"
"yeah I'm just chillin', I'm in africa baby,
"
and then I got a call from a journalist,
that had been
working on a story, and he was like,
"yeah, rumor mill's going on about ya, i
just wanna clear
"a few things up", and I'm like, "yeah, what's
"
"
do you smoke crack, did you graduate from
high
school, or I mean it was all these crazy
questions,
and I thought about never coming back, i
said this
place is crazy, like I'm-i'm that dude.
|
| 00:59:01 | I just thought about all the things that
celebrities go through, and what celebrities
would
come in our culture, you know if you're brad
pitt
and jennifer aniston, and your marriage is
breaking
up, that's a awful thing, but to see that
speculation in people, gotta sting a little
bit.
|
| 00:59:18 | Yeah-yeah.
|
| 00:59:19 | And you, and then I realized, oh my god,
I'm one of those people, that's a small club
man,
that's a weird place to be, there ain't really
no
going back, you can't-you can't get unfamous,
you can get infamous, but you can't get unfamous.
|
| 00:59:35 | Right.
|
| 00:59:36 | So I got scared, I'm not gonna lie to ya,
I was
scared to death, and i-i didn't touch the
mike,
but you know it was cool man, the first time
I went back
out and did stand-up, it was in cincinnati,
so it's
not far from the farm, I said if I gotta
run,
..
|
| 00:59:53 | (laughter)
And then the club sold out real fast,
I played a comedy club, and man, when i
walked out on that stage, and them people
were
screaming, I get teary-eyed just thinking
about it,
cause this industry can say whatever they
want,
but man people will hold you up, and that
crowd man, my spirits were so low and they
was just
holding me up, and i-i hadn't told jokes,
BUT THAT (bleep) WAS JUST COMING BACK LIKE
"The karate kid" again, you're the best around,
I was-i was just doing it man.
|
| 01:00:33 | I don't know how this whole dave chappelle
thing
is gonna end, but I feel like I'm gonna be
some
kind of parable, by either what you're supposed
to do,
or what you're not supposed, see I'm gonna
be
something, I'm either gonna be a legend or
just
THAT TRAGIC (bleep) STORY, BUT I'M GOING
Full
throttle, I'm going all the way, I wanna,
I'm eager to find out how this is gonna resolve
itself.
|
| 01:00:59 | All right lipton, theyhaven't taken all the
money
back yet baby, hang on,that's $200 for you.
|
| 01:01:09 | (James)THAT'S $200.
|
| 01:04:32 | Elle's show",
that extraordinary.
|
| 01:04:40 | The way the show came about was real weird,
cause me and neal after "half baked", went
our
separate ways, we were good friends, but
it was
just like leaving a crime scene or something.
|
| 01:04:55 | And then I was sitting out on that farm rottin',
and, uh, I was, it was weird, I was watching
this
thing about hugh hefner having "playboy after
dark",
I said I should do some, a show like that,
that's weird,
I said, let me call neal up.
|
| 01:05:12 | We started talking about variety shows, we
wanted
to do something that was real personal, that
was
just, I don't know, was just, the word personal
kept coming up.
|
| 01:05:22 | How long did it take you to produce the show?
|
| 01:05:24 | That show was a monster, you know, when we
did
the show, we-we first come up with the format,
we were
like man why hasn't anyone ever done
a show like this before?
|
| 01:05:36 | I mean 18 hour days, we writing it, we write,
we look at casting tapes, we look at locations,
we, every element of the show man, the show
was real
micro-managed, and it was coming through
two dudes.
|
| 01:05:51 | One of the most famous characters appeared
in
the very first show, who is clayton bigsby?
|
| 01:06:01 | He's a-he's a, uh, a guy that writes all
this
subversive, white supremacist literature,
so they do this thing which is like a "frontline"
piece, so they go out to the mountains to
meet him,
and they find out he's-he's blind, and he's
black.
|
| 01:06:20 | And doesn't know that he's black?
|
| 01:06:22 | He has no idea.
|
| 01:06:22 | And he is a vicious racist, right?
|
| 01:06:26 | Correct.
|
| 01:06:26 | By any measure, opening the series with bigsby
was a gamble.
|
| 01:06:32 | Yeah, let me tell you, putting some like
that out
there is scary man, that show was like, listen
if you
don't like that, you're not gonna like the
show.
|
| 01:06:42 | It was a good test right?
|
| 01:06:43 | Not a test as much as a manifest or
a mission statement.
|
| 01:06:48 | You have to see bigsby to believe it.
|
| 01:06:51 | (man) WHY NOT TELL HIM HE'S AFRICAN-AMERICAN?
|
| 01:06:54 | Listen man, he's too important to the movement.
|
| 01:06:57 | If I tell him he's black he'll probably kill
hisself, just to be one less negro around.
|
| 01:07:01 | His commitment is that deep.
|
| 01:07:03 | I'm overwhelmed by the irony.
|
| 01:07:06 | (banging)
Uh-oh.
|
| 01:07:09 | You lost boy?
|
| 01:07:12 | We don't like your kind around here.
|
| 01:07:14 | You better get out of here fore something
bad happens.
|
| 01:07:18 | That's right-that's right, tell that nigger!
|
| 01:07:25 | Come on clayton, we gotta go.
|
| 01:07:27 | Okay, there's a nigger around here.
|
| 01:07:29 | That silly monkey was beatin' my hood.
|
| 01:07:36 | White power, nigger!
|
| 01:07:41 | (narrator) THE CONFUSION DID NOT END THERE.
|
| 01:07:44 | (rap music playing)
Hey, why don't you jungle bunny turn that
music down?
|
| 01:07:52 | Niggers make me sick!
|
| 01:07:54 | Woogey-boogey, nigger.
|
| 01:07:56 | Woogey-boogey!
|
| 01:07:59 | Did he just call us niggers?
|
| 01:08:02 | Awesome!
|
| 01:08:12 | I wonder dave, if you'll permit me to speak
to
clayton for just a moment.
|
| 01:08:19 | All right at your own risk.
|
| 01:08:21 | I've been at risk since we walked out on
this stage,
I'm doing all right-- I'm happy.
|
| 01:08:25 | Mr. bigsby?
|
| 01:08:26 | (as Clayton) WHAT DO YOU WANT, JEW?
|
| 01:08:28 | (laughter)
bigsby, you'll forgive me for
raising
a sensitive issue, but we know from the "frontline"
documentary, that you did discover that you
are,
how shall I put it, not white, how has that
changed your life?
|
| 01:08:49 | Well, it's changed my life in several ways,
first of all, I understand why my penis is
so long.
|
| 01:08:58 | (laughter)
I would-i would say that's an advantage to
being black.
|
| 01:09:08 | Yes it is, other than that, the advantages
have
gone down tremendously.
|
| 01:09:14 | I see, has your realization, in any way,
affected or softened your attitude toward
our black
brothers and sisters?
|
| 01:09:21 | Absolutely, now I've tasted brown sugar,
and I will never go back.
|
| 01:09:28 | Have you stayed in touch with your friends
in the kkk?
|
| 01:09:32 | We still write and call each other from time
to
time, it's a little weird though, knowing
that they
knew the whole time I was black, and never
told me
anything about that, don't think a real good
friend
would do somethin' like that, do you?
|
| 01:09:45 | So tell me, do you miss the warmth of those
cross burnings?
|
| 01:09:52 | Well, the food was good.
|
| 01:09:55 | What kind of food would you have at a cross
burning, for example?
|
| 01:09:58 | Hot dogs.
|
| 01:09:59 | Really-really?
|
| 01:10:02 | Chicken.
|
| 01:10:03 | Yeah?
|
| 01:10:04 | Yeah, but you know it's, actually it was
much
better hangin' out with, um, fellow colored-people--
people of color, excuse me.
|
| 01:10:13 | Yes.
|
| 01:10:14 | Uh, yes it is, the music is better turns
out.
|
| 01:10:18 | That's true, god knows, yeah.
|
| 01:10:20 | Yes, and I have learned to love spice.
|
| 01:10:24 | I see.
|
| 01:10:26 | So you've turned your back on music like
the tennessee waltz, for example?
|
| 01:10:29 | Sometimes I listen to it, mostly when I masturbate.
|
| 01:10:37 | I'm sorry, I don't know what that means.
|
| 01:10:40 | (applause)
Dave, I have this strange feeling of deja
vu, this
strange feeling that somehow, somewhere,
you and I have met before.
|
| 01:11:03 | ..
|
| 01:11:05 | David, I've spoken to many actors who have
played
the physically challenged, when daniel day
lewis or
your performance in "little foot long foot",
he threw
up, in the movie you played stanley, uh,
handicapped man with a heart of gold, it's
visual poetry.
|
| 01:11:22 | Thank you.
|
| 01:11:28 | Ah, sore foot, long foot,
it is long foot-long foot.
|
| 01:11:37 | Ah!
|
| 01:11:39 | Here let me help you.
|
| 01:11:40 | Get that damned hands off of me!
|
| 01:11:46 | (applause)
In the interest of our research, where did
you
ever get the idea for that extraordinary
sketch?
|
| 01:12:00 | Well, you know man, I tell ya, I'm a big
fan of your
show, and to be honest I never envisioned
myself
being on the show, just because I always
thought
my body of work stunk, you know, I mean I'd
see guys
like morgan freeman on here, or dudes who've
done
like a lot of real good movies, because all
I ever
did was comedies, I figured you know, nobody
likes comedies like that, so I figured
I'd just never be on.
|
| 01:12:25 | So you figured you were safe?
|
| 01:12:26 | Right-right, well you know, I figured I'd
just
pretend that I'd done some good movies, and
that-that
I'd be on the show.
|
| 01:12:34 | And who's that fellow who's doing somebody
who
resembles me, almost as much as will ferrell
does?
|
| 01:12:39 | It's this guy-it's this guy, bill bogart,
who was actually the dad in "war games".
|
| 01:12:45 | All right, one final question about, uh,
"inside
"
okay.
|
| 01:12:53 | WHERE ARE MY (bleep) ROYALTIES?

| 01:26:24 | Richard pryor's wife spoke for her husband,
because m.s.
|
| 01:26:28 | Had deprived him of the ability to communicate,
and what she said was that richard pryor
felt that
he had passed the torch to dave chappelle,
were you aware of that?
|
| 01:26:41 | Yeah I was.
|
| 01:26:43 | (applause)
Now we've lost richard pryor, what did he
mean
to you, what did he mean to american comedy?
|
| 01:26:55 | You know, those like evolution charts?
|
| 01:26:57 | Yes.
|
| 01:26:58 | Of man.
|
| 01:27:00 | Yep.
|
| 01:27:00 | He was the dude walking upright.
|
| 01:27:02 | I got ya.
|
| 01:27:03 | Richard was, he was that, the highest evolution
of comedy, there was an article I had read
after
he died, I think said it best, the mark
of greatness is when everything before you
is obsolete, and everything after you bears
your mark,
and what a precedent he set, not just as
a comic,
but as a dude, the fact that someone was
able to
open themselves wide open like that, and
it's so hard
to talk in front of people, or to open yourself
up
to your closest friends, but to open yourself
up for everybody. yeah.
|
| 01:27:41 | A free base, I beat my women, I shot my car,
and nobody's mad at richard for that, they-they
understand, and somehow they just understand,
and when I was going through this thing this
year, that
is the example I would think to myself, that
gave
me the courage to just go back on the stage.
|
| 01:28:03 | There's no way of knowing which of dave's
sketches
were pryor's favorites, but I strongly suspect
that this would have been one of them.

|
| 01:29:22 | Niggers?
|
| 01:29:33 | I'm from detroit, and where and when I grew
up,
the "n" word was a very powerful and brutal
weapon, for me it's still the ugliest word
in
the english language, does making it a common
place,
as you have on occasion in your work, does
it empty
it of any of its venom, or is the venom still
there?
|
| 01:29:54 | I'm gonna have to say that if used incorrectly,
the venom's still there, that word could
still start
a fight, now I've had situations where white
people would come out to me, they'd be like,
"that
"
"
it sounds different on alien lips.
|
| 01:30:14 | Yeah man, I still say it in personal conversation
with my friends, I say it sometimes on stage
at
the comedy club, and I'm not gonna make a
promise that
I won't say it again on television, but right
now
.. like people aren't responsible
enough, certain things I've been through
in
the last year, and certain things I've heard
people say,
and also all the older black women in my
family,
BEEN TEARING ME A NEW (bleep) FOR SAYING
It,
like they really get on me about it,
and-and you know, but it opened up a dialogue
with this, we never had before.

What is "block party"?

this big deal, was I called my friend
corey-corey over here--i met corey in ohio,
he was working with de la soul, at the time.
|
| 01:31:29 | (applause)
The concept became let's do a block party,
and, uh, I mean everyone came out,
tariq came out, common came out,
mos came out, erykah badu, jill scott, the
roots,
and then to top it all off, the fugees reunited.

favorite musicians, they were making the

they wanted to make, they were having fun,
they were all friends, I was like man, you
can do that.

to do,
I put them in it, I look at it, and that's
my life man,

my inspiration.

Okay dave, here are your students.
|
| 01:38:33 | All right, I know that's crazy.
|
| 01:38:36 | Hi my name's, uh, carlos cabrera, I study
english
here at pace.
|
| 01:38:41 | Did you bring that mike from home?
|
| 01:38:46 | You know you have "chappelle's show",
this almost like overnight, uh, success,
do you still
feel that, uh, it was kinda maybe too much
all
at once, or do you feel that, again with
your,
again with a decade's worth of work, that,
uh,
you were just?
|
| 01:39:03 | Was it too much at once?
|
| 01:39:05 | Or do you feel it was deserved?
|
| 01:39:07 | Which it was?
|
| 01:39:08 | I don't know, I just, you know I deserved
something,
I mean literally, deserved is a really, deserved
is
a tough word, but the show had a, it all
seemed like
a logical progression, you know like, I could
of
pulled a lebron and exploded when I was a
kid, but it
didn't happen that way, and I'm probably
better
for it, like had I got that kind--i'm 32
and i
went to africa, so I can only imagine what
would
happen if I was like 19 and had "chappelle's
show",
or if I could even of handled, it's a-it's
a
tremendous responsibility having a show like
that.
|
| 01:39:45 | But, um everything's going fine I think,
until season
three I mean, and it wasn't the fame that
got
to me, I love-i love people, I like people
saying that they like what I do, and you
know,
it's just a whole, you know, it's like a
economic
threshold you cross man, you know, they were
throwing out numbers like $50 million, you-you
put
that in the paper next to your name, and
that guy's
gonna have some serious problems in his personal
life, there's no question, you know, I like
to live
a more open life, I don't like to have to
protect
myself from people, I don't want my life
to
become about enforcing boundaries, you know,
but that's what happens when you become successful,
your-your humanity diminishes, and you become
something else to people.
|
| 01:40:42 | You all see the cartoons where they're hungry,
and he looks over at his buddy, and his buddy
look
like a chicken dinner, that's kinda like,
it's kinda like that.
|
| 01:40:56 | How ya doing, dave?
|
| 01:40:57 | (Dave) HEY MAN.
|
| 01:40:58 | My name is cosem bristow, I'm a third year
actor at pace
university, I just want to know, um, who
were your
early inspirations besides richard pryor
and eddie murphy?
|
| 01:41:05 | You know who was a big influence on me that
is
really weird is bugs bunny, that's just weird.
|
| 01:41:11 | If you watch a lot of the stuff I do, you
can almost
see the influence in it, because these animators
would animate these performances that were
off the hook, and the guy that, the guy that
did
the voices was mel blanc, this guy was like
some kind
of savant or genius or something, but they-they
had some kind of real big comedic influence
on me,
like I liked those cartoons, I think that
was
my first real big comedy influence,
was a rabbit.
|
| 01:41:47 | (woman) HELLO.
|
| 01:41:48 | Hello.
|
| 01:41:48 | Uh, my name is skylar jessica evan, I'm a
freshman
studying forensic science, you're just real
cool
and down to earth, like what do you think
it,
what exactly do you think it is that just
keeps you
there, like I am cool, I got money, that's
a'ight.
|
| 01:42:02 | Skylar, I'm going through some real tough
real
times, some nitty gritty stuff, and when
you go
through things like this, it helps you put
it all
in perspective.
|
| 01:42:11 | I'm famous today, people like me today, they
might
not like me tomorrow, you never know, you
can't
count on it, the world can't tell ya who
you are,
you just gotta figure out who you are, and
be that
for better or for worse.
|
| 01:42:28 | My name is anthony lazano, I'm a marketing
major here
at pace, my question for you is how do you
deal
with people who may claim that you are crossing
lines that you shouldn't necessarily be crossing?
|
| 01:42:39 | You know I don't deal with them, I think
that america
needs a honest discourse with themselves,
this is
like the greatest country in the world by
default.
|
| 01:42:54 | You know what I mean, but we could actually
be
the greatest country that ever existed if
we were just
honest about who we are, and what we are,
and where
we want to go, and if we learn how to have
that
.. things like racism are
institutionalized, it's systemic, you might
not
know any bigots, you feel like, "well, i
don't hate
"black people, so I'm not a racist", but
you benefit
from racism, just by the merit of the color
of your skin, there's opportunities that
you have,
you're privileged in ways that you may not
even
realize, cause you haven't been deprived
in certain ways.
|
| 01:43:30 | We need to talk about these things, in order
for
them to change, I do the show, I walk down
the street,
black people like it, white people,
the generations, it doesn't matter, because
it needs
to be talked about, it's like the elephant
in
the living room, but nobody says anything
about it,
so when the bigsby thing came out, there
was a lady from
texas that called comedy central, I mean
damn near
100 times, she was furious with me, I wasn't
mad at
her for being mad at me, it's like okay that's
good, you know, not good that she's mad at
me,
but she's entitled to her opinion, and maybe
she's
right, I don't know, I just-i just thought
it was
funny, and that's what I did, I'm a comedian
man,
that's how I look at the world and that's
what
I'm spittin' out.
|
| 01:44:22 | I don't-i don't-i don't judge people or not
like
people for thinking, you know people that
I love
tell me I go too far sometimes, maybe I went
too far but I did it.
|
| 01:44:36 | You know, and plus the only way you know
what a line is-is to cross it, and i
think that, what is life if nobody's crossing
the line, you just want to try to be on the
right side
of history, sometimes what's going on in
the immediate
present, is not as important as the long
term.
|
| 01:44:57 | The truth is permanent, and then everything
else
will fall by the wayside.

what I had madefor Sasha Cohen
was pretty ridiculous and horrible.
|
| 01:48:13 | With this next challenge,
I'm not taking any chances.
|
| 01:48:16 | I'm not gonna do something over-the-top.
|
| 01:48:18 | I'm gonna do my best and see where it gets
me.
|
| 01:48:30 | Hello.
|
| 01:48:31 | [greetings]
Are you ready for your next challenge?
|
| 01:48:34 | [affirmations]
Okay. This challenge is about what drives
your creativity
as a fashion designer.
|
| 01:48:43 | Inspiration.
|
| 01:48:43 | I'm going to send you off to meet
with out very own Michael Kors.
|
| 01:48:48 | He's going to talk to you about what inspires
him
and fill you in on the rest of the details.
|
| 01:48:53 | But first, let's bring out
the winning and losing designer's models.
|
| 01:49:02 | Models, this also is a competition for you
as well.
|
| 01:49:05 | The model paired with the winner ofProject
Runway
will get a fashion spread inELLEmagazine.
|
| 01:49:12 | Zulema, you were the winner of the last challenge
and your model was Rachael.
|
| 01:49:18 | If you decide to stay with Rachael,
then Shannon will be out.
|
| 01:49:22 | If you decide
to change models,
I will bring out all the models
for you to make the switch.
|
| 01:49:28 | What do you want to do?
|
| 01:49:29 | I today am gonna choose to change models.
|
| 01:49:32 | So I would like
to have the models come out.
|
| 01:49:38 | Okay.
|
| 01:49:40 | Let's bring them out.
|
| 01:49:48 | All right, Zulema,
who do you want to switch Rachael with?
|
| 01:49:51 | I would like to have a walk off
between the following three models:
Danyelle, Tarah, and Shannon.
|
| 01:50:01 | It's a [bleep] walk off.
|
| 01:50:02 | (Heidi) So we're just going
to step back and have a little walking session
going on right here.
|
| 01:50:07 | Why don't we?
|
| 01:50:08 | I was sort of thinkingthis would be something
that Zulema would do.
|
| 01:50:12 | Once we realized
that it was gonna happen,
you could feel the tension between all of
us.
|
| 01:50:24 | Zulema's walk off.Man, that was a twist.
|
| 01:50:27 | You know, up until this point,
everyone who won still just was loyal
to their own model.
|
| 01:50:38 | I haven't had enough time to study the girls
themselves.
|
| 01:50:41 | So I said, "You know what?
|
| 01:50:42 | "They all have the same outfit on,
"you get to seehow they move,
why not a walk off?"
All right, Zulema, you've seen them walk.
|
| 01:50:52 | Which one do you want?
|
| 01:50:53 | (Daniel) All of us were just on edge, just
hoping
that she didn't take our girl.
|
| 01:50:57 | I choose Tarah.
|
| 01:51:03 | Literally, my throat just dropped to my stomach.
|
| 01:51:06 | And I just wanted to, like, throw up.
|
| 01:51:10 | I personally think that Zulema did know
that she was gonna pick Tarah.
|
| 01:51:14 | For the most part, the walk off
was just Zulema being dramatic.
|
| 01:51:17 | (Heidi) All right, Zulema,
you picked Tarah.
|
| 01:51:22 | That means Rachael
will be now Nick's model.
|
| 01:51:32 | All the models, you can leave the runway.
|
| 01:51:35 | Thank you.
|
| 01:51:35 | (Nick) Rachael was very, very, very angry.
|
| 01:51:38 | And the whole time, she kept looking at me
like, "I can't believe this bitch did this."
And I was like, "Well, I can't believe
she did it either."
I changed models because my model cannot
walk.
|
| 01:51:46 | I can't be concerned with Nick.
|
| 01:51:49 | Do a good job,
win next week, you take her back.
|
| 01:51:52 | (Heidi) I'm sorry, Shannon.
|
| 01:51:53 | You're out. Auf Wiedersehen.
|
| 01:51:55 | All right, you have your models.
|
| 01:51:57 | Are you ready to get inspired?
|
| 01:51:59 | Michael Kors is waiting for you.
|
| 01:52:01 | And I'll see you back here on the runway.
|
| 01:52:04 | Bye.
|
| 01:52:15 | Heidi hinted for our next challenge
that it would have to do with inspiration,
something that obviously every designer needs.
|
| 01:52:21 | (Michael) Hey, guys.
|
| 01:52:23 | [greetings]
Morning.
|
| 01:52:25 | (all) Morning.
|
| 01:52:26 | So why don't you come on back?
|
| 01:52:27 | I'm gonna talk about the challenge coming
up.
|
| 01:52:30 | I wanted to talk to you guys
about inspiration.
|
| 01:52:32 | And, you know, every designer works differently.
|
| 01:52:34 | You know, some people are more abstract
in their inspiration.
|
| 01:52:38 | Some people are more specific.
|
| 01:52:39 | This is a fabulous picture of a woman named
Doris Duke.
|
| 01:52:42 | And she was the tobacco heiress.
|
| 01:52:45 | And she kind of broke the rules.
|
| 01:52:47 | She was, like, an East Coast girl
who moved to Hawaii
and had an affair with a surfer in the '40s.
|
| 01:52:52 | People were shocked.
|
| 01:52:53 | And we started thinking
about that whole era of "Hawaiiana" in the
'40s.
|
| 01:52:58 | And then what happens for me,
I start with the mood.
|
| 01:53:01 | And I started thinking, "Okay, Doris Duke.
|
| 01:53:03 | "If Doris Duke was around today,
"what would she pack?
|
| 01:53:08 | Where is she going?"
We start fooling around with color.
|
| 01:53:10 | I mean, so there's a color board
for a whole collection.
|
| 01:53:15 | It's all about how to take
that first picture,
that--that idea of Doris Duke,
and how do you turn it into a whole collection?
|
| 01:53:24 | So inspiration is our thought today.
|
| 01:53:27 | I've got a little--
[hums fanfare]
I've got gifts for you guys.
|
| 01:53:33 | We all love a gift.
|
| 01:53:34 | Terry cloth cashmere? Think again.
|
| 01:53:38 | Ah, nice.
|
| 01:53:40 | Yes.
|
| 01:53:41 | A little Olympus digital for everyone here.
|
| 01:53:44 | Okay, Kara, that's yours.
|
| 01:53:46 | Thank you.
|
| 01:53:47 | Andrae, that is yours.
|
| 01:53:49 | There you go.
|
| 01:53:50 | There are strings attached.
|
| 01:53:52 | You have an hour.
|
| 01:53:53 | You get to walk
anywhere in New York.
|
| 01:53:56 | [exclamations]
You're gonna take pictures.
|
| 01:53:59 | And then you are gonnago through the pictures
and you're gonna pick one.
|
| 01:54:03 | One shot.
|
| 01:54:04 | It could be anything. Anything that provokes
you.
|
| 01:54:07 | And then you make a fabulous garment.
|
| 01:54:08 | And then you get to show us that garment.
|
| 01:54:11 | And we get to see your train of thought.
|
| 01:54:15 | I love this.
|
| 01:54:16 | (Michael) We're excited to see it.
|
| 01:54:19 | And we'll see you back on the runway.
|
| 01:54:22 | All right. Wow.
|
| 01:54:25 | Let's go-- Want to go over here?
|
| 01:54:27 | This way?
|
| 01:54:42 | (Nick) We had one hour to take photos
of things, objects, people, whatever
that inspires us.
|
| 01:54:49 | I'm just happy I'm not with Santino
'cause I know he's going crazy.
|
| 01:54:52 | That's a great color.
|
| 01:54:53 | (Santino) It's a cool way to begin...
|
| 01:54:57 | a design challenge.
|
| 01:54:59 | Thank you, man.
|
| 01:55:00 | I walked to, like, 7th and 23rd Street.
|
| 01:55:03 | I took about 80 pictures
and saw some really amazing things.
|
| 01:55:12 | Oh, this is great. Bubbles.
|
| 01:55:15 | I shot mainly a lot of buildings.
|
| 01:55:17 | I didn't want to mess with people.
|
| 01:55:19 | I like buildings.I like lines and stuff.
|
| 01:55:21 | So this actually was perfect for me to shoot
that.
|
| 01:55:26 | I based my design off of a "no trespassing,"
"Danger, no trespassing" sign that I saw
on a building.
|
| 01:55:32 | I kind of thought of the restrictions of
things
in this--in this--
crazy, crazy place.
|
| 01:55:38 | Can you get your head out of my picture,
please?
|
| 01:55:44 | Do you mind if I take a photo of you?
|
| 01:55:46 | This African woman came down the street,
and she had this beautiful red dress on.
|
| 01:55:52 | That's basically what inspired me.
|
| 01:55:58 | My inspiration might be at, you know,
a little bit at a loss.
|
| 01:56:02 | I get inspired by my models.
|
| 01:56:04 | I'm sad that Tarah's not my model.
|
| 01:56:07 | Do I understand or respect
Zulema's decision for causing tension?
|
| 01:56:11 | That's her own thing.
|
| 01:56:13 | Was it a wise decision? Probably not.
|
| 01:56:15 | If you're not kind,
you're not gonna get kindness back.
|
| 01:56:20 | Somebody flipping you off? Yeah.
|
| 01:56:21 | Is that nice? How'd you get that?
|
| 01:56:25 | Print. Okay.
|
| 01:56:26 | (Nick) We got back
to the workroom
and we printed photographs.
|
| 01:56:30 | We were to pick from all those photos
one photo and design an outfit
inspired by that photograph.
|
| 01:56:39 | (Santino) After editing through everything
that I had photographed,
I decided on a picture
of parts of overlapping graffiti.
|
| 01:56:47 | I think it would be really a great achievement
to take a wall that had spray paint layers
and do something that looked so high art
and couture.
|
| 01:56:59 | Oh, that's pretty.
|
| 01:57:00 | That's from Michael Kors'.
|
| 01:57:01 | I had to go to 20 feet to find my inspiration.
|
| 01:57:03 | The picture that I ended up choosing
was actually the first picture that I took.
|
| 01:57:09 | It was these gorgeous orchids in the lobby
at Michael Kors' studio.
|
| 01:57:13 | Saw that they were beautiful
and that's what inspired me the most.
|
| 01:57:16 | (Chloe) It's pretty.
|
| 01:57:18 | The final photo that I chose
was a photograph of some dirty water in a
gutter.
|
| 01:57:23 | Something that you wouldn't
normally notice as beautiful.
|
| 01:57:26 | But the way the sun was shining
and the way the light was reflected,
it sort of glistens.
|
| 01:57:31 | And there's these rocks that sort of sparkle
like jewels.
|
| 01:57:35 | I always like to take something
that's humble or lowlyor ugly
and apply, like,the big charm gun to it
and make it pretty.
|
| 01:57:43 | (Santino) Wow, Nick.
|
| 01:57:46 | Oh, please.
|
| 01:57:46 | My mood made it a little difficult
to sort of concentrate on that I wanted
to find something that inspired me.
|
| 01:57:53 | To be honest,
I'm usually more inspired by my models.
|
| 01:57:56 | Nick, I'm taking the picture, okay? Yeah.
|
| 01:57:59 | It's great.
|
| 01:58:00 | That's nice.
|
| 01:58:05 | Hi, everybody.
|
| 01:58:07 | Can I ask you to gather around?
|
| 01:58:13 | I care tremendously
about each and every one of you.
|
| 01:58:17 | And that's why
it's tough love time.
|
| 01:58:20 | My perception is that the work
for the last couple of challenges
is for the most part quite lackluster.
|
| 01:58:27 | You really need to wake up.
|
| 01:58:34 | (Heidi) Coming up onProject Runway...
|
| 01:58:37 | You are in serious jeopardy.
|
| 01:58:38 | I think he's totally right.
|
| 01:58:40 | Be more ambitious.
|
| 01:58:41 | I think it was more of a slap.
|
| 01:58:43 | There's a part of me that wants
