Chappelle's Show done for good
 

Actor: 'Chappelle's Show' is over

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 guess 50 mil can make anyone go nuts. hope dave gets back whatever he feels he lost doing the show but i really really really really really hope comedy central still puts out the part of season 3 that was done... or at least that it leaks out on the net somehow.

Its a shame the 50 mil caused too much pressure for him.

Good riddance. More room for Chris Rock's new comedy.

I've found myself in the same situation in the past, with much smaller amounts. I can't imagine what 50m would do to me. haha

that sucks!

But he's funny. :upsidedow
Well, things just come and go.

:thumbsup

Haha so is 3/4 of this board, but at least he made money off of it, more than most can say around here :1orglaugh

Chris Rock's comedy and new being used to describle it....... not sure those two should go together. I would say if he didn't repeat the lines of his jokes so much his comedy would be half as redundant... but then I would be wrong.

All things has endings. :(

damn, dave is the man :(
