Dave Chappelle surprises Portland

Dave Chappelle at Pioneer Square

Last night, Dave Chappelle surprised the folks of Portland, Ore., with an impromptu show. Almost. Because of the overwhelming response (The Oregonian is reporting that about 4,000 people showed up; Chappelle expected 200), the PA system was too small for the crowd, and the show never really got going.

Despite remaining mostly out of the spotlight since his abrupt, high profile retirement from "Chappelle's Show" in 2005, the comedian has remained much beloved. At one point in the video above, Chappelle says, "I'll plan next time. I didn't know that I was still famous. Now I know. And I'll be more careful."
