Chappelle's wife not over losing a $50 million deal

Dave Chappelle is still explaining to his wife why he left his Comedy Central show and walked away from a $50 million contract.

"My wife is still a little salty with me," Chappelle joked on NBC's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" on Wednesday night. "She's not mad at me, but don't think you can walk away from $50 million and your wife is just going to be cool with it."

In frequent TV appearances over the past few months, the comedian has repeatedly defended his sudden departure last year from the popular and lucrative "Chappelle's Show."

He has since returned to performing standup and released the concert documentary "Block Party."
