Overworked and....well...paid appropriately: Give a brotha a sec to breathe

Chappelle's Response to why he skipped the country

Slip into this guy's loafers sometime. Seriously, millions of American's constantly on your nuts to continually produce. This guy set the bar so high that it's going to be quite a feat to consistently keep people laughing with fresh material. It's hard enough to achieve your own expectations, let alone the expectations that others demand from you everyday. Then have a huge corporate empire dangle $50 million over your head insisting that you don't let them nor their sponsors down. Sure "humor" is an untapped resource, but there's only so much one guy and his writers can crank out day after day. Talk about stressful. The people will make and break you. Sometimes you just have to go out like Costanza: "Thank you, that's all for me, goodnight."
