It's times like this I wish it was April 1st again.
Anyway, I hope that whatever's causing him problems gets fixed real fast
and that his show will go on for a long long time. But by the looks of things, season 3 is a no go.

Well that sucks.. and it's pretty unexpected. Ah well, he'll be back. I wonder how long he'll be in there?

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

What the hell?! You have articles that say he's in an insane asylum, per se, but I just read it in the USA TODAY that he's really just on a spiritual retreat in South Africa.....

Well yeah. And if you read the entire thread, you'd see a similiar story is linked to, so ehm. I guess the lesson here is it's always good to read the entire thread.

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

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

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...

Did anyone see the commercials on Comedy Central explaining his abscense?

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.
