Remember when the Weekender thought it was going to interview Dave Chappelle and give the readers a chance to ask him one question?

And the person with the best question would have his or her submission picked by Chappelle to sit in the front row?

Unfortunately, the Weekender thought wrong.

In the past, when acts came to the Convocation Center, we never had a problem securing the celebrity for an interview.

In this case, the Weekender was told by the Convocation Center the interview would not be a problem.

Not only were we unable to tie down Chappelle for an interview, but we couldn’t even get the questions answered via e-mail.

Now, we don’t really know if Chappelle personally is turning us down or if his management is; regardless, our contact with Dave is bad.

As a result, our “Ask Dave Chappelle One Question” is officially dead, and we have two choice seats without owners.

So, like Dr. Frankenstein, we must bring life into this monster of a situation.

The remedy?

Another contest.

If “Jeopardy” and “Supermarket Sweep” had a kid, the product would be our Dave Chappelle Trivia Hunt.

For the details, please see the contest rules and show up at the King Memorial Commons a little before 1 p.m. today.

Be prepared. It is going to be the ultimate mix of brains and athletic ability. After all, there are two front-row seats on the line.

How to win tickets

Because of our Dave Chappelle interview mix-up, the Weekender will be holding a new contest at 1 p.m. today in the King Memorial Commons. One lucky winner of our Chappelle Trivia Hunt will win two front-row tickets to Dave Chappelle’s 8 p.m. performance at the Convocation Center.

Each participant will be given a multiple-choice question pertaining to everything Dave Chappelle. After each answer is a location. Pick the correct answer, and proceed to that location. If you see a Northern Star representative at that location, you picked the correct answer. If you do not see a representative, you guessed wrong and must pick a new answer and head to that location.

Once you arrive at the correct location, you must show the question you received from the previous location, or you will not be given a new question.

Then, the representative will give you a new question directing you to the next location, and so on. The first person to make it back to the MLK Commons with all four question sheets and correct answers will win two front-row tickets to the Dave Chappelle show.

Northern Star employees or their family members are not eligible to participate in this contest.

Offer does not apply in Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
