Comedian Dave Chappelle is hitting the talk show circuit this week to promote his upcoming shows at Radio City Music Hall.

"That is one of the most grassroots advertising campaigns I have ever seen," Lauer joked when speaking later with the comedian.

But after an entire on-air interview in the "Today Show" courtyard, Chappelle still didn't realize the show was live.

"Are we on television right now?" Chappelle asked Lauer seriously. "This is hilarious, I had no idea this actually started, I thought this was a run through."
