*Dave Chappelle took the stage at Hollywood's Laugh Factory Sunday night and told continuous jokes for six hours and 12 minutes straight, which is five minutes longer than his record-setting performance on that very stage eight months earlier.

"Dave was determined to keep his record because he recently heard that Dane Cook was planning on trying to break (his) record," club owner Jamie Masada told the Associated Press Monday.

Masada said Cook's record of three hours and 50 minutes, set in early April, was broken by Chappelle's six-hour-and-seven-minutes on stage later in the month.

Richard Pryor set the original bar in 1980 with a Laugh Factory performance lasting two hours and 41 minutes.

According to Masada, Chappelle says he's been spending his time traveling, most recently to Ecuador.
