"so color was already an issue" was a hilarious bounce back to the green corn memory.

Lipton really was amazing at this. He lived to the age of 93 and passed in 2020. Glad his work will live on since he did it for 24 years.

I feel as though I should have received college credit for watching James Lipton. Excellent interviewer.

Chappell is a national treasure ❤

Comedians who are lifetimers: Dave Chappelle, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Eddie Murphy 😊

I saw Dave Chappelle in a comedy club in San Francisco. He was the opener for someone else and he was so effing hilarious, the lady following never had a chance. This was before anyone knew who he was. We knew after that night. I’ve never seen a funnier comedian live in my life…

Real comedy questions authority & calls out hypocrisy. It provides society an invaluable service in this respect. Chappelle is one of the greatest in the history of the art form. Even going back to kindergarten, he was calling out green corn. That was just the beginning. This is why censorship & cancel culture is so insidious. We cannot silence our critics. We need the comics as part of our human experience.

The story he tells at 17:25 had a massive impact on my life since I first heard him tell it on this show a long time ago. I think not a week goes by when I don’t think or talk about it. A guy once said to me that if you are worried or fearful of something, then ask yourself, “If the worst possible outcome of the challenge you are facing happens, would you be able to get through it and handle it. If yes, then you should stop being afraid of the thing you’re facing. The answer is almost always ‘yes, I would still be ok if that happened.’” He called it the “Worry Once Method” for dealing with fear. It seemed that Dave figured this out in reality and not through a thought experiment. Thanks for posting this, I’ve been trying to find a copy of this clip for a long time.

It was 2 years later but I understand the confusion since for some strange reason they've never started their own youtube channel they have never made their episodes except for a very select few easy to buy. Lipton did 269 episodes before he died and they are all being held hostage on a terrible platform most people around the world can't get access to half the time doesn't even work properly even with a VPN and they constantly switch between having the original cut and extended cut which makes no sense.

The full episode is worth a watch. I loved this series. my favorite part of this is the stories he tells and when he answers questions at the end of the students, since this is usually a college crowd of theater and drama majors.

"Calling someone crazy is dismissive..." Dave showed me u can turn crazy into eyeballs 😳 and a conversation to boot!!

the most shocking thing about this to me was the chemistry between Lipton & Dave. I always thought Lipton was a little uptight and too serious. He was loose and ready for comedic banter.

This was many years ago but I enjoyed seeing it again very much. Thank you.

No wonder Dave Chappelle is so cerebral. His parents poured into him.

I've heard Chapelle share his origin story several times, it inspired me every time. We are so lucky to have him in our time... Funniest, most insightful comedian of all time...

I remember being really into Actors Studio at this time, and Chapelle on here really added to what I thought of the Chapelle show

I've never seen this, this is such a gem. Thank you for the upload!

What an amazing mother.God bless her.Dave your pops isn’t to bad either

That standing ovation about Hollywood was awesome!

Chapelle is a global treasure.

I'm always amazed by people that can remember specific details about their life from age 5, and earlier. I think those people have brains that work in unique ways and are typically connected to society in a way that most people aren't. Clearly Dave is not typical.

How normal is it for a 39 year old to vividly remember various occasions that stemmed back before my first birthday including the very day that I turned 1. I remember waking up from my nap and crawling out of my crib by sliding up and over the high railing and sliding down into the floor. I walked to the door of my room and looked down the hallway and saw my grandmother setting in a wicker chair and when she saw me she said”well there’s the birthday boy”. Sounds pretty cliche but I remember it so vividly. I could do my ABC’s and speak full sentences in reverse before I even knew the ABC’s in proper form. When I say I can speak in reverse, you can record what I say and reverse it and to a pretty astounding measure, it sounds extremely close to how we say it normally when it’s reversed. With a few exceptions to words that are nearly impossible to speak in reverse because of the way certain things roll off your tongue. Maybe only a backwards talker would understand. I hope nobody thinks I’m exaggerating because this couldn’t be more true.

Dave is spot on with telling time by TV! I knew when Walter Cronkite came on it was time to get ready to catch the bus for kindergarten 😊

So honest, Dave is a genius, James Lipton does his research, he knew more about Dave, than Dave. This was an excellent interview, it almost was like Dave and Lipton rehearsed, but I know that did not happen. Thank you for this clip.

I am enjoying this very much. Wow. Did not know his upbringing. Love Dave Chappelle. And still cracking up those jokes in between the questions which is a testament of his talent always ready to go.

At 25:05 Chappell drops da bom. Lipton can dazzle everyone with his bow downs and adorations and it works 95% of the time. They are eating out of his hand. But, Dave throws that hook and that bearded chin takes it hard, all 4 knuckles. Chappelle is No Fool.

Have loved Chappelles comedy for so long and looking at this video makes me think that the big difference between Chappelle then and today is that he lost his battle against the system. What he said back then used to be so provocative among so many that just followed a scheme planted by the industry and a system that he seemed to be against. But it must be hard to be against when it is so lucrative to be a part of it, I imagine.
