"Chappelle's Show" Shut Down

Chappelle's Show is a no go, ****!
In a surprise announcement Wednesday, Comedy Central announced that the highly anticipated third season of Dave Chappelle's will not make its May 31 premiere date.
"Comedy Central has suspended production on the third season of Chappelle's Show until further notice," network spokesman Tony Fox said in a brief statement. "All parties are optimistic that production will resume in the near future."
No official reason was given for the shutdown, but sources told E! News that Chappelle has been MIA from the set for weeks.
In December, the network said that Chappelle's Show was behind schedule after Chappelle fell ill, forcing the network to postpone the expected February debut of new episodes.
"Dave--and his entire production crew for that matter--got a bit of a late start on writing season three," Fox told the New York Post. Production was slated to resume in January.
Last August, Chappelle, 31, reupped with Comedy Central in a massive two-year deal, valued at $50 million by the Hollywood Reporter. The deal also set a new Industry precedent--reportedly giving the funnyman a large cut of backend DVD sales.
Featuring Chappelle's often raunchy standup, offbeat sketches and **** parodies of Prince and Rick James, Chappelle's Show has steadily built a huge following since its January 2003. By the end of season two, the half-hour show was often pulling in more than 3 million viewers, a substantial number for basic cable. The first season currently ranks as the all-time top-selling TV show on DVD. (Paramount has indefinitely pushed back the release of the second season--the studio hopes to time the DVD to the start of season three.)
In addition to his gig at Comedy Central, Chappelle had been working on a book for Hyperion. No word on the book's status; there's also no word on the reported Rick James biopic for Paramount in which Chappelle would portray the late R&B wild man.

in africana studies class, we were talking about reparations(our class was half black, half white), and almost ALLLLLL the black folks started doin the "Pay me Back, I'M RICH, BI+CH!" skit and were laughin at themselves. I'm like its funny, but NOT IN CLASS and not when u around white people.

Oh Puh-leeze! If we were so careful about how we acted in front of white people, there would be no BET, COPS, Maury Povich Show (b.k.a. Who's the Daddy?) , Ricki Lake, Springer, etc. or any other vehicle for people to act a fool.
I wish black people would get off of that "Let's not air our dirty laundry" bull.

The hell? I was thinkin bout that today...
Me though, I str8 LOVE comedy. I love Chappelle's show and laugh my **** off when he makes those racial jokes. I look at it like this: If you can't laugh at yourself, how can you laugh at somebody else?

Whites do have outlets considering they own most of the media sources we hear, see, and read.
I understand how yall see it, but it takes more than just his show to influence how others view us. We contribute to our own stereotypes in numerous ways....

darkbrown dammit. 8-)
I love the Chappelle Show and I will be anticipating its return to Comedy Central.
No offense but to people who criticize this show, let it go. It's humor, meant purely for entertainment. You don't like and/or approve of the show, don't tune in. If you're not part of the solution, don't talk about the problem.
The entire BET network is a minstrel show but not very many people are complaining...
.... maybe that's how yall are in real life....and that's why i've been thinking about seperating myself from my race...

Seperate yourself from the black race??? lol...thats a funny joke. I dont care HOW MUCH you try to seperate yourself they ALWAYS gonna see you as just another **** like the rest of us. :arrow:
