A plane traveling from New Jersey to Ohiomade an emergency landing Friday night after the comedian was deemed a safety risk, TMZ.com reports. Dave Chappelle is used to bring down the house, but this is something else entirely.

Chappelle reportedly refused to buckle his seat belt and repeatedly entered the cockpit during the flight. At one point, sources told the gossip Web site that the 36-year-old funnyman grabbed the pilot's arms.

The pilot diverted the jet to Pittsburgh after deciding Chappelle was a safety risk.

According to the comedian's rep, Chappelle had wanted to use the bathroom after eating something bad, but the toilet on board didn't suit his needs.

After landing in Pittsburgh, the former "Comedy Central" star reportedly checked into a hotel where he told employees he wanted to rent a car to drive back home to Ohio, but couldn't remember his address
