Aside from Chapelle, Chris Pratt, Ansel Elgort, Steve Carrell and only woman Shailene Woodley are some of the celebs to have made the list.

Exiting his Comedy Central show in 2005, Chapelle left his fans and viewers wondering what had prompted the performer to leave showbiz despite a very lucrative career. After admitting on Oprah that he had suffered a mental breakdown, the comedian is now back and has stated that he plans on guest-starring in as much television shows as possible for a whole year.

Confessing his love for the medium, Chapelle shared that if people only remember him for the "Chapelle's Show," he would be fine with it. "If I were to never do anything else, that show would be a culmination of what was a very long and tedious process of me learning how to be in the television business," he stated.

As for the shows he wants to appear in, Chapelle has some ideas - including being a zombie on "The Walking Dead," a corpse on "CSI" and, "the first black guy to f--k Olivia Pope [Kerry Washington] on Scandal..."

Aside from his short-term career plans for his return to the industry, Chapelle also touched on his time on a farm in Ohio, his Radio City Music Hall tour and his point of views on some of the recent headliners and scandals in the news.

Chapelle's cover and interview is on the December issue of GQ and, is currently available in New York and Los Angeles. It will be released nationally on November 25.
