Chapelle highlighted the fact that he doesn’t obtain any sort of rights or revenue rights over the show.

He speaks about how the show is owned by Comedy Central under the Viacom umbrella so they have legal rights to do whatever they want with the series solely because Chapelle signed a contract years ago.

Chapelle speaks further into how he wasn’t ever paid a dime from the licensing deals and was worked like a slave after being bought and sold.

Following Chapelle’s long-standing relationship with the super streaming platform of Netflix the show was pulled completely at his request.

According to TMZ the ‘Chapelle show’ is still currently available for streaming on HBO Max.
