A private jet carrying comedian Dave Chappelle was grounded this week after the pilot deemed Chappelle a safety risk, said TMZ.com. The plane, bound for Ohio, landed in Pittsburgh after Chappelle reportedly “freaked out,” entering the cockpit and grabbing the pilot’s arms. A spokesperson for Chappelle explained that the comedian needed to use the restroom after eating something that disagreed with him, and that the restroom on the plane was “not the kind he needed.”
