Dave Chappelle intends to launch a new comedy show that won't appear on broadcast, cable, or satellite TV. If you want to see it, you'll have to stream it. The show would mark Chappelle's return to TV after his highly rated Comedy Central show crashed and burned.

From whom you'd be streaming was still up for grabs at presstime. Some observers said Netflix would be the obvious choice. But Hulu or some other streaming service could turn out to be the lucky winner.

Streaming services are increasingly looking to develop original content to satisfy their burgeoning subscriber base as well as to counter the impression that they are the entertainment industry's bottom feeders. Netflix recently paid $100 million for exclusive rights to David Fincher's House of Cards, a thriller starring Kevin Spacey.
