[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was known Eddie stole lot of his  jokes and  from Charlie’s shows. This was before  social media so he could get away with it [/quote]Where eactly was this "known?" Dave Chappelle met this guy, became friends with him, and said he was one of the funniest people he knew as a street comedian. He confided in Dave Chappelle when he was dying of  Aids. Do you really think that if Eddie had stolen his material, that Dave Chappelle, of all people, would keep this a secret? Dave Chappelle has shown that he gives no Fukks and lives a free life unafraid of being "cancelled".[/quote]

Charlie wasn’t mad or bitter about it eventually. 
He couldn’t read well enough for the show so there’s nothing he could’ve done. Dave Chappelle wouldn’t expose Eddie because he looked  up to Eddie as a kid just like he wouldn’t expose Kevin hart for having writers or robin Williams for taking jokes. Comics don’t go after comics. It’s a rule. [/quote] The idea that “comics don’t go after comics” just isn’t true. They do it all the time when it’s real. Carlos Mencia was openly accused by multiple comedians for years; on podcasts, in interviews, and even on stage. Joe Rogan, George Lopez, Bill Cosby, and Ari Shaffir all made accusations. Amy Schumer was accused of joke theft by other comedians and writers, with side-by-side clips circulating. She denied it.  Comedians don’t protect thieves; they protect their own craft.

Are you familiar with Dave, and do you watch his comedy shows?  Dave Chappelle isn’t some passive fanboy who protects legends at all costs. This is Dave Chappelle, the same guy who openly criticizes the industry, his peers, other celebrities he knows personally, and even his own fans. If Eddie had stolen material from someone Dave personally knew and respected, that would’ve come up somewhere in his storytelling. It never has.[/quote]
