Chappelle doesn't regret walking away from show

Dave Chappelle doesn't regret his decision to walk away from a $50 million deal to continue his hit Comedy Central television show. However, he might miss the money.

Halting his "Chappelle's Show" last year was "one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life," the 33-year-old comedian said Tuesday while addressing the opening convocation at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio.

"Now, economically it makes no sense at all," he added.

His sudden "spiritual retreat" to South Africa on the eve of his show's third season left the series in limbo. He has since returned to performing stand-up and released the concert documentary "Dave Chappelle's Block Party."
