Chappelle is funny. A lot of people are funny. So that automatically means other people write their jokes?
If you or I say some incredibly witty shit on these forums, does that mean one of our 100 witty remark ghost writers are at work?
You can be funny on your own merit. When you reach a certain level, you can have writers. You think all the jokes from Family Guy are written by Seth McFarlane? No.
Dave Chappelle loved the money and the support he was getting..but he wasn't going to degrade himself as a black male & give up his creative control because the execs at Comedy Central wanted to do it their way..Which meant dehumanizing/degrading himself in his comedy sketches for a 50 million dollar contract
