The Season 2 episode “The Internet & Moment in the Life of Lil Jon" was quietly pulled from all Comedy Central platforms and CBS All Access in June when the porn star was charged with sexually assaulting four women. The episode features a sketch called “If the Internet Was a Real Place," where Dave Chappelle is guided by Jeremy in an increasingly perverse world. They then proceed to watch Paris Hilton's sex tape -- which Hilton has said in recent years was "like being raped." "When ViacomCBS signed over the non-exclusive streaming rights for Chappelle’s Show to Netflix and HBO Max later in the year, the episode was excluded from the licensing deals altogether due to standards and practices," reports The Daily Beast's Sean L. Malin. "Netflix and HBO Max declined to comment officially; however, a source close to ViacomCBS, a source close to WarnerMedia, and a source familiar with the situation all independently confirmed that both streamers were notified in advance by ViacomCBS that this specific episode would not be made available as part of their non-exclusive deals."
