As Mr. Chappelle said, "I'm begging you, if you ever liked me, if you ever think there was anything worthwhile about me, I'm begging you: please don't watch that show. I’M NOT ASKING YOU TO BOYCOTT ANY NETWORK. BOYCOTT ME, Chappelle’s Show, do not watch it UNLESS THEY PAY ME."

"Now there's probably a bunch of people at Comedy Central and Viacom and all these places that have no idea what I'm talking about. They've all either quit or been fired or got Me Too'd or something ... And there's a whole bunch of new, young people there and they're probably looking like, 'What is he talking about?' They may not actually know what the f--- happened to me...”

“So I'll tell you what I'm talking about: go downstairs to your accounting department, open the books, see what that show made, and look at what you paid me. That's exactly what I'm talking about. You're going to pay me. I am inviting you to come with me and work with me and let's fight against that terrible, terrible feeling that you made me feel together. We can fight together and work this thing with Chappelle Show out. Or, or, I can just take it. Thank you.”
