October 20, 2004 -- The "Chapelle's Show Season One: Uncensored" DVD has now become the biggest-selling TV show on DVD, surpassing "The Simp sons: The Complete First Season" with over two mil lion units sold, according to Videoscan and retail sources. The DVD version of Dave Chappelle's Comedy Central show has also spawned "Chappelle's Show: Season Two Uncensored" (Feb. 8).
Chappelle, who recently inked a two-year, $50 million deal with Comedy Central to continue hosting his show, is also the focus of tonight's "60 Min utes Wednesday" as he sits for an interview with Bob Simon (8 p.m./Ch. 2). Chappelle, obviously influenced by the comedy of Richard Pryor, is amazed to hear that Pryor's wife told "60 Minutes Wednesday" that Pryor feels as though he's "passed the torch" to Chappelle (Pryor has MS and is incapacitated).
"All right, that's more pres ure than $50 million," Chap pelle tells Simon. "He was the best, man."
