Chappelle on 'Tonight Show'

Dave Chappelle isn't screwing around when it comes to maintaining secrecy surrounding his new material. Chappelle reportedly didn't allow anyone to stealthily record a single moment of his recent sets at the Gramercy Theater and the Cutting Room in NYC, Page Sixreported. A timely highlight from Chappelle's still-in-progress batch of fresh material is a bit on the leaked Access Hollywood tape in which Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump claimed fame gives one the right to grab women "by the pussy."

"[Chappelle] said he was staying at the Trump Soho and grabbed one of the maids by the 'pussy' and told her, 'It’s OK! Your boss said it’s all right,'" a Page Six spy reported Sunday. Footage of the Trump material isn't likely to find its way to you or anyone you know anytime soon, as audience members' phones and related electronic devices were reportedly stored inside "soundproof cases" for the duration of the performance.

Billy Bush, who was on the Access Hollywood bus with Trump at the time the leaked audio was recorded and essentially served as the GOP nominee's hug pimp, was ultimately ousted from his Today slot following the controversy. "While [Bush] was a new member of the Today team, he was a valued colleague and longtime member of the broader NBC family," the network claimed in a subsequent statement. "We wish him success as he goes forward."

According toPage Six sleuths, Chappelle is also working on material that paints a less-than-flattering portrait of his former TV home, Comedy Central. "He was saying he'd never go back to the network again and thanked everyone for supporting him," one alleged attendee said.
