An audience at the famous New York venue Carolines on Broadway got a surprise recently when comedian Dave Chappelle popped in to see his former "Chappelle's Show" castmate Charlie Murphy perform.

After a five-minute standing ovation, Chappelle ended up doing a 30-minute stand-up set, according to The New York Post.       

"Did you miss me?" he playfully asked the audience. "A lot's changed since I was on TV. We have a black president now. Actually, Obama called me and asked me to help him with his campaign. He said he had two rules for me - don't use the 'N' word, and stay off TV."       

He went on, "Figures the first black president would run on a platform of only taxing the rich, and now I'm rich!"       

Chappelle returned to the club later that night to hang with another "Chappelle's Show" alum, Paul Mooney, who was headlining the late show. Chappelle wrote the foreword to Mooney's book, "Black Is the New White."
