Dave Chappelle: AIDS victim or crack addict?

[GatorB]

Chappelle's Show is a no go, bitch!

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.

Really, are those the only 2 choices available?

How about a good old fashioned prostitution scandal.

[DomBuyer]

That is very surprising. Anyone know what the inside scoop is?

Perhaps Dave has morphed into Tyrone?

[abadfish]

That fucking sucks... I love that show.

[BlueWire]

If you read the full article it states that E! is reporting that Dave has been absent from the set for a number of weeks...

[AVM]

I'm in awe. Huge huge disappointment.

What a fucking jerk-off. This nigga is going to be the next Darryl Strawberry.

[AVM]

That is very surprising. Anyone know what the inside scoop is?

I was just telling a friend the same thing - all the Tyrone the crackhead jokes, finally came back and bit him in the ass.

[Veterans Day]

not surprised

[detoxed]

I've heard he is a moody "artist"

[DomBuyer]

You know if you watched that 60 Minutes piece on Dave, the clue might be right there:

He said that no matter what now, his farm is paid for and he can do what he wants.

The DVD deal is huge money for him, and he's a very thoughtful cat in real life. (listen to his KCRW interview...very interesting) I wouldn't be surprised if he just said "Fuck you" to the whole thing.

dave's mom is a judge

hes as street as bill cosby.


in an interview he was quoted as saying "when white people use the word n i g g e r i get mad but when i use it its liberating"

[TheSenator]

This is an old technique..... more publicity.....nothing new here....

[smack]

i doubt it is as sinister as it sounds.

[liquidmoe]

To play devil's advocate no such thing as bad publicity, if the show is delayed for whatever reason this keeps interest alive, and if it really is as bad as it sounds, best of luck to him.

Either way, I dont much personally care, I'm not a huge fan, although some his shtick is pretty good.

Dave isn't a drug addict (drugs other than weed I mean) and I don't believe he has AIDS. I know him, we aren't friends but we have a ton of friends in common and none of that rumor madness has ever gotten back to me.

It is good publicity though. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear reports of him checking into rehab with Whitney Houston (even though he doesn't need rehab).

I'm best friends with Dennis Leary.

Oh wait no I'm not.

This delay was seen MONTHS ago unless this is a 2nd delay its not news (yes i saw it on yahoo too but thats dopesnt make it news).

This is the fuckin scoop:
1.hilarious guy gets a cable show.
2.He gets a few thousand an episode and its his big break in lfe.
3.Charly Murphy tells some stories about Rick James.
4. The Rick james stories are put in the show.
5. Funny guy gets a contract for $50 million for 2 years.
6. Because he is discouraged that he can't compete with Rick James and has a fortune to spend he is disctracted from work.

Big fuckin scoop.


Thats as much as any successful comedian on tv except Seinfeld. How can a cable network pay it? Crazy.

...with that being said...I dont care how famous you are...walking away from a 50 million dollar contract would be retarted

...with that being said...I dont care how famous you are...walking away from a 50 million dollar contract would be retarted

no shit. that was huge news when it happened. there is obviously something big going on - good or bad or the networks would not be making any announcements at all. it would be too bad if he fucked that deal up... he is funny and the show is very funny.

[robfantasy]

he is at that level where he can do as he pleases

[pornguy]

I enjoy watching his stand up, when I can find it. But I have not seen the show.

[BuggyG]

WHAT?!?!
WHAT?!?

Ok...ok!!

[Tytan]

Get Chris Rock on, hes funny as fuck.

[Furious_Male]

A bit if a power struggle. To bad hes funny as fuck.

[BVF]

They need to hire me to finish writing the show. I could do it and it would be just as funny. And I'd only do it for TEN million....A bargain.
