Chappelle's Show RIP?

Don't hold your breath waiting for new episodes of Chappelle's Show, which saw it's third season postponed last May amid reports that Dave Chappelle suffered a stress-related meltdown. "Chappelle's Show is done," says costar Charlie Murphy. "It took me a long time to say those words, but it's the truth." Murphy, who wouldn't reveal what ultimately did the show in, believes the footage already shot will likely be released on DVD later this year. "The stuff Dave did was remarkable," he says of the final episodes. "It [would have been] his best season yet." Counters a Comedy Central flack: "We haven't been told that Dave is not returning. He's got issues, he's dealing with them, and the ball is now in his court."

From TV Guide... 🙁
 
well...when the show's creator goes off to South Africa because of mental problems....i dont think you should really expect to see anymore episodes anytime soon 😛

 
i'd been wondering about this for a while cause he dissappeared and all and then you didn't really hear much after it got pushed back for the upteenth time...hope it isn't true
 
Hopefully this will prevent me from having to hear another person scream "I'm Rick James Biyatch!!!"

I will miss the show if it's true though. It was great stuff.
 
bump for CNN update

for those who can't surf too much at work...


Time to face the facts: Dave Chappelle's hit Comedy Central series isn't coming back, says one of its stars.

" 'Chappelle's Show' is over, man. Done," comic Charlie Murphy told TV Guide. "It took me a long time to be able to say those words, but I can say it pretty easy now, because it's the truth."

Chappelle's sudden "spiritual retreat" to South Africa on the eve of his show's third season has left the series in limbo since May. About half of a new season had been filmed before Chappelle left, Murphy said.

"I'm disappointed it ended the way it did, but I'm not angry with anybody," he said. " 'Chappelle's Show' was like the Tupac of TV shows. It came out, it got everybody's attention, it was a bright shining star, but it burned out and for some strange reason, it burned out quick."

Comedy Central has always said the door is open for Chappelle to return, spokeswoman Aileen Budow said Wednesday.

Network chief Doug Herzog met with Chappelle on June 3, but that has been their last communication, she said.

Murphy, the older brother of comic Eddie Murphy, said his two seasons with Chappelle made him a star.

"Now I can go out and do stand-up," he said. "I'm getting movie offers. It's off the hook. Me getting to the next level or whatever's going to happen is going to come from the next things I do, but 'Chappelle's Show' served its purpose and I'll always be grateful."

I don't think he's been paid a dime of that, thus It wont matter.

 
That's a shame, he really did start a cultural phenomenon. Its too bad culture took it too far 😛
 
I'm glad I didn't think any of his bits were that funny. They need to give Charlie Murphy his own show, now that guy is hilarious.
 
Ricky Williams part deux.

And it sucks that this unfunny overrated show that's spawned the most annoying catch phrases in the history of man is not going to air anymore. Boo hoo..
