Agreed about 90s Chappelle… I think he would have had more empathy and understanding in selecting gigs than current Chappelle.

Bill Burr will literally just say the money was good so he went, I’m pretty sure. He’s never seemed like the kinda guy to invent some spin

You’re right, I guess spin is the wrong word here since it is a PR term and Bill Burr isn’t a PR type of guy. I meant what he will have to say about it.
He will be blunt and honest with answers ranging from, “it’s none of your damn business” to “I needed a new helicopter that has more than 2 seats so I can evacuate my family from LA safely once shit hits the fan and I don’t want to put myself in a Sofie’s Choice kinda situation” or “Sorry, I wasn’t thinking when I accepted the job but donated the paycheck to the 9/11 families fund.”

Funny thing is, he does have a helicopter and his helicopter pilots license. Which he got in case of emergencies. After the LA fires this year I saw an interview with him where he was talking about it.
He was making fun of himself because he got his license and the helicopter to flee things like the LA fire but helicopters are expensive and he couldn’t afford more than a 2-seater so he can’t take his whole family if he ever had to really use it.
So my comment was based off a real thing he may say as to why he needed the money.
