Sometimes taking a break is the best move for your future. Just ask Dave Chappelle, who is poised to make a multi-million dollar comeback more than 10 years after he ditched his show and got out of the limelight. The New York Post reports the comic could take home as much as $60 million in a new deal with Netflix that includes the release of three specials due out in 2017. "Dave was offered $20 million a special.
Netflix basically has a war chest for this kind of content," said a source. "Whether it's a loss or not, Dave Chappelle's specials will get a lot of press and bring in new subscribers." Two of the shows are based on material in Dave's "personal archive," according to the Post, while the third is expected to be produced by Netflix.
