“Wait. You are SHITTING ME. Josh Rossford is going to Napa Valley with Kathy PUSHPINS?? I am going to throw up my heart right into this salad. Right now. How did this happen? KATHY FUCKING PUSHPINS?!?!?!

Rumor: Dave Chappelle Planning New Show, But Don’t Look For It on TV | The Daily

popculturebrain:

The beloved comic is planning a new TV show with a paid subscription service like Netflix, Sony’s Crackle, or Hulu, which are now competing in the original programming game, a plugged-in source told Flash.

“Dave Chappelle’s going back to TV,” tattled our insider. “It’s not for a network. It’s for Netflix or Crackle or some other subscription service.”
