By the way, Season 2 comes out on dvd today. Hopefully I'll be able to get it this time. With Season 1, that was madness. It took me 3 weeks to find it in the store. I should have just ordered it online.
Ordered? Bought? Bought? Well obviously he meant downloaded...
*refernces"Decline of Gaming 2"
hey, can somebody find a link for that? |

Actually, I did read the entire thread. I was just partly confused because I thought that you were arguing over two different sources saying two different things. I didn't look at drjayphd's link because I thought it was the same thing I was just reading...

Dave Chappelle Says He's Not Crazy!
May 17, 9:17 AM EST
The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Comedian Dave Chappelle wants to set things straight: "I'm not crazy, I'm not smoking crack," he tells Time magazine in an interview more than a week after his hit Comedy Central show was suspended and the rumors started to fly.
"I'm definitely stressed out," said Chappelle, who took off last month to South Africa for a "spiritual retreat," leaving his fans |

Oooh, you're in luck. We were just talking about this.  |

Some people started that mental clinic stuff just to stir up rumors. He just wanted to step out of the limelight for a while. |

This really sucks. I heard about it on Saturday, and was like, noooooooo he can't be leaving ! He is an awesome guy and one of the few comedians I find funny. I heard that he has a mental problem with something related to the money he gets/doesn't get from doing the Chappelle Show. I guess I should read the articles posted here....I hope he gets back to comedy soon!!
EDIT:
Fixed my spelling errors . |

Well this is definitely a hit in the face.
Hopefully he'll return soon ... I guess I'll have to stick to Jon Stewert or something.  |

I could imagine wanting to get away. I would never want to be famous, I'm far too private and introspective a person. If I had cameras on me all day long and people constantly coming up to me, asking for an autograph or worse - to take a picture with them (meaning I'd have to look spiffy at all times, too) - I'd break down and flee the States within days.
Edit
Hmm, after reading that interview, I must say, I didn't realize he was that introspective and deep a person. But I suppose that's not quite how the media would care to portray a comedian. They're supposed to be there for our amusement; they aren't human in the media's eyes, just trained monkies. It's refreshing. I've gained respect for the man. |

Because he's not in a mental facility?
(No, really.) |

Yeah I read about this yesterday.
I never watched the show when it aired, so I wasn't really aware season 3 was fucked up. |

there must be something that caused him to having issues right now. fatigue, high expectations, some chemical imbalance in his brain? anyways, this is sad news and a big blow to comedy central... |

This really sucks. I love Dave Chappelle, he is a great comedian, actor, and so on. I doubt it will be for too long. And even so just go download some of his stand ups. |
