“I didn’t see Bob’s death coming,” he told the audience. “Man he just texted me and I saw the text yesterday and I never texted him back ’cause I was just busy.”

TMZ obtained the footage from the set.

Typically, it’s forbidden, or at the very least frowned upon, to videotape or take photos during any comedian’s set. However, some venues differ in their photography rules.

His dear friend’s unexpected death was a good reminder to take time for the one’s you cherish.

“Yeah it happens. I’m just saying this to remind you; these moments are precious and when I come out at night, I’m not just hanging out. I’m making memories. S**t, when I go out at night, I’m making history,” he said.

Chappelle also revealed to the audience that he was “gonna go lay his comrade to rest,” today.
