Dave Chappelle was disqualified from the competition for the endurance title at the Laugh Factory in L.A. because he left the stage to use the restroom. Chappelle lasted five hours before nature called, prompting club owner Jamie Masada to disqualify him. "There are only two rules," Masada said Tuesday. "You have to continuously tell jokes that are funny and you can't leave the stage, even to go to the bathroom." Richard Pryor set the original record at the Laugh Factory by performing for two hours, 41 minutes, in 1980. Comedian Dane Cook broke Pryor's recorod 27 years later with a three-hour, 50-minute set. Chappelle raised the bar to six hours, seven minutes before Cook took the record back last year turning in a seven-hour, 34 minute performance..
