Spotting: Dave Chappelle

Via PerezHilton:

He's been flying well under the radar for awhile now!

But Dave Chappelle surprised the audience at Caroline's on Broadway during former Chappelle's Show castmate Charlie Murphy's stand-up show.

After a FIVE MINUTE standing ovation, Chappelle delivered a hilarious 30-minute set asking the crowd, "Did you miss me?"

Dave continued with a bit about President Obama:

"A lot's changed since I was on TV. We have a black president now. Actually, Obama called me and asked me to help him with his campaign. He said he had two rules for me — don't use the 'N' word, and stay off TV. Figures the first black president would run on a platform of only taxing the rich, and now I'm rich!"

Chappelle showed up later to appear at another Chappelle's Show castmember, Paul Mooney's late show at the venue as well.

The audience was probably thrilled to see the elusive comedian!

Get back on TV, Dave!
