" It&amp;#039;s widely known that in 2005, comedian Dave Chappelle literally walked away from his hit Comedy Central show, Chappelle&amp;#039;s Show. Over the last year, he&amp;#039;s slowly been making a comeback on stage and last night on the Late Show, Letterman grilled him about his decisions to leave and where he went. &amp;quot;The reason most people have a show and then don&amp;#039;t have a show is because they say, &amp;#039;We don&amp;#039;t want you to have a show anymore,&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Letterman told him. &amp;quot;But that wasn&amp;#039;t the case here.&amp;quot; Chappelle hasn&amp;#039;t been on the Letterman couch in 10 years and he flatly stated that he doesn&amp;#039;t talk about that incident, but he does open up in a weird way. &amp;quot;Technically, I never quit,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m seven years late for work.&amp;quot; For this and more about his time spent in South Africa, the mystery surrounding his disappearance, and large sums of money, check out the clip below.
