chappelle show ain't coming back

That's just a story about what Charlie Murphy thinks. That's not Dave saying it's over for good, and the network is still saying that if he wants to come back, he can. That's the biggest non-story of the day. 
"Network chief Doug Herzog met with Chappelle on June 3, but that has been their last communication, she said."
two months is a decent hiatus, eh? he might be smoking huge fatties w/ ricky williams.

Comedy Central has always said the door is open for Chappelle to return and make us a shltload of $$$, spokeswoman Aileen Budow said Wednesday.
Noooooo...that blows...oh well, I'll always have the memories of Clayton Bixby
Hey... could be worse. He could get a lot more money, you'd have several more seasons, and then end up like the Simpsons or SNL.
AND..
It's not often you see a celebrity who says "that's enough for now".
Too bad Ashlee or Jessica Simpson can't say that so that we can have AT LEAST a hiatus from constant bombardment of their faces on TV.
all right. I'm done.
RESPEK KNUCKLES

good now if only we could get MTV and the family guy to gtfo
Maybe he realized he he ran out of ideas and was becoming a media cash cow that would have become a cliche' of himself had he not pulled the plug. We don't need another John Belushi or Freddy Prince. I think he pulled the plug on his inevitable pigeon hole.

NEW YORK - Comedy Central star Dave Chappelle has checked himself into a mental health facility in South Africa, the magazine Entertainment Weekly reported on Wednesday.
The comedians whereabouts and condition have been unknown since Comedy Central abruptly announced last week that the planned May 31 launch of the third season of Chappelles Show had been postponed and production halted.
Chappelle flew from Newark, N.J., to South Africa on April 28 for treatment, said the magazine, quoting a source close to the show it would not identify. Entertainment Weekly said it had corroborating sources for its story.
We dont know where he is, Comedy Central spokesman Tony Fox said. Weve heard about South Africa. We dont know. We havent talked to Dave.
Chappelles spokesman, Matt Labov, would not comment on the magazines story.
It seems like the issues hes contending with are really quite serious, said Dade Hayes, a senior editor at Entertainment Weekly. It isnt a case of him spending a weekend someplace recuperating from exhaustion.
The magazines sources say Chappelle is still in the facility, which was not named, Hayes said. Chappelles representatives have denied that the comedian was abusing drugs.
Chappelle reportedly signed a $50 million deal with Comedy Central for two more seasons of his show, a payday made possible because of the explosive sales of the shows first season DVD.
The magazine said Chappelle had shot four to five episodes worth of sketches for the new season, but none of its onstage introductions"

Man what a total idiot! all he had to do was keep the show going and make 50+ million..........but instead he decided to stop the show, go to Africa blaze it up and make squat! :nuts:
I have to admit though that show was the funniest on tv hands down.

That'll be a damn shame if that show stops. Like any popular show there are now a bunch of "take off" or maybe "rip off" shows tryin to ride its wake. Mind of Mencia comes to mind. I watched it once, not very funny. A little funny, but its no Chappelle show.
That was the initial story, but this story was false. He did not check into a mental health facility. There was a correction printed, and I'll try to find it.biggins said:
Right from Dave's mouth This isn't the correction from Entertainment weekly, but it is a different story from MTV News. Hey, I know it's not exactly the BBC, but for chrissakes, neither is Entertainment-f**king-Weekly...and the interview was with Dave himself and Time magazine, not some jerk-off who thought he knew something. I friggin hate these jerk-off so called "news" channels and magazines that don't do fact checking or verification. They're nothing better than gossip columns.
It'd be a bummer if the show didnt come back, but I think something else will come along and replace it. Plus, there is always the season 1&2 dvd's to watch over and over and over and over...
