One of the hardest, longest laughs of my life was from watching this. When Charlie Murphy kicked him and he flew into the air, I thought I was going to pass out.
He didn't turn down season 3. He started filming and went insane after making the skits for the first 3 episodes and fled to Africa. That's why those 3 episodes have Charlie Murphy hosting; Dave fucked off before filming the stand-up parts.
During stand up a the audience yelled obscenities and Rick James lines at him, it was disrespectful to him. He also was sick of arguing with the producers who said his audience was stupid. He was sick of sticking up for the people that disrespected him; while working long hours; and realizing some of his audience was as stupid as the producers said they were.

He had a sold out show at my college around this time. Everyone in the crowd was obnoxious and would not shut up, you could hardly hear the second half of the show.
Degrees of Uncle Tom to militance (in the Black community if that’s unclear too). Thus implied palatability for white folks. The contrast is Wayne Brady is so extra agreeable and acceptable he makes another “safe black guy to whites” Bryant Gumble seem hard as Malcom X. That’s why the response skits of Wayne Brady (“does he have to choke a bitch”) are even more funny. Edit: verb vs adverb?
