Man he didn't hold back... https://www.instagram.com/tv/CH-rR9znT3g/?igshid=z6opja9xk272 He also praised Netflix for their handling of the Chappelle show.
He's 30 when he started that show, I don't believe he was still so naive like he described himself, it wasn't like he's 16. He didn't expect himself to be so successful, and he wanted to get paid now after signing a contract he regretted. Netflix forfeits millions of license fee in order to not sour the existing contracts that are worth 10s of millions. I doubt Viacom and HBO will budge.
He was 28 with his first kid on the way. The rest of what you said was valid, though I wouldn’t doubt someone’s naivety in contract/negotiation situations. We’re not gonna pretend it’s easy to negotiate contracts with multi-billion dollar Corporations..
I’m 30 now and I still feel like an idiot when I’m reading anything
He's been doing this for a while now. Legend!
HBO doesn’t have to but look at it this way. DC is big name with good circle of friends ... arguably top 5 comedian/writer in the country and he clearly is portraying that NFLX is taking care of the relationship and foregoing money to sate his ego/anger. DC’s lawyers were shortsighted ... I agree that 2003 was different kind of world. I would be pissed too if someone is making money off of my name on every rerun of the episode. Content is king esp in this age - Artists don’t need Network. Artists have line of options. He left abruptly and bridge is already burnt with DC and ComedyCentral.
Screw Dave chappelle. He was spewing anti vaccine BS on Joe Rogan recently. Never worship people...
He didn’t say anything anti-vaccine?? Lol what are you talking about
Yeah what Chappelle didn’t say anything like that?
Fuck ViaCom and HBO. Rat thief bastards! They took advantage of a man because they could! They are never going to able to be as popular as Netflix and their glory days are gone. That is why Netflix is valued on the market as such. Truly a next gen company
Netflix is making $$$ off of current contracts with DC’s specials. Way more money than what they payed in licensing fees for Chappelle’s show. It’s always about their bottom line, they are not a “good” a company.
The difference is they're actually paying him what he considers a good amount so what are you smoking
Dave is the best of all time
Thanks for the post. Sell all Viacom shares. Boycott the studios
He has been discussing the line between doing the right thing by your fellow man v. What's legal for a long time... This is just another example
He did not get the money that a creater would when a show they owned was sold, but he still gets fat residual checks under SAG/AFTRA guild contract rules. And by trying to get the show pulled, it means that the other actors and writers on that show are won't get residuals from the show. .... So wealthy dude upset that the checks he gets for work he did years ago are not as big as he would like to make him even richer, wants to screw over his former co-workers who are not rich and actually can use those residual check. This is some fucking entitlement.
You clearly have not watched the video. He didn't get paid at all is what he said
He got scale residuals, which are very different from the ownership points folks like Seinfeld or Key & Peele get when their shows are in syndication or streaming. Scale is peanuts compared to points, or negotiate higher residuals that most stars get, but it ain't nothing. He was SAG/AFTRA at the time of production and under guild rules he gets residuals. Did he get screwed out of making more money? For sure. But he is still getting paid for residuals (though it might be only several thousand a year at this point, depending on the stream play).
