"TV Guide: What is the status Chappelle's Show's third season? [Titular host Dave Chappelle went AWOL in May, bringing production to a halt.] Will it ever air? Murphy: Nah, not on television. We shot over half the season, man. Season 3 is ready. But if they're not going to show it right now... when? Are they going to show it next year? TV Guide: What do you think Comedy Central will do with the eight episodes that have already been shot? Murphy: I don't know. They had a big screening where they looked at the episodes and everyone was happy with what they had. They have possession of it. [My guess is] it'll go straight to DVD and they'll say, "Here's the Season 2 DVD for sale for Christmas — and it [will have] Season 3's unseen footage." TV Guide: So is that it for Chappelle's Show? Murphy: Chappelle's Show is over, man. Done. 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. There's no way to get around it. It's a new day. I'm disappointed it ended the way it did, but I'm not angry with anybody. 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. The two seasons I acted on that show made me a star. Now I can go out and do stand-up. 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."

If this proves true this sucks really bad. He was the funniest thing I think I've ever seen on TV.

chappelle is now training to be a terrorist

8/3/2005 11:24:00 AM

chapelle plays world of warcraft. this is why.

^ speaking of, one of the funniest skits I saw on there was the one where he is doing a live action GTA.

man that sucks

8/3/2005 1:16:07 PM

aww that's no good

8/3/2005 1:23:23 PM

man, I hope thats not true

you can tell comedy central is scrambling to find another chappelle's show now, with mind of mencia and stella (both of which suck ass)

8/3/2005 1:31:36 PM

Come on people, it wasn't that good and you know it was starting to fizzle already.

8/3/2005 1:34:20 PM

the dane cook show

8/3/2005 1:35:31 PM

Mencia sucks ass, Stella is hiLARious. With that said, it's pretty obvious that Stella is not aimed at reclaiming the Chappelle audience. No one in their right mind would think that an absurdist sitcomish thing based on a years-old weekly stage show could replace a new weekly sketch show.

8/3/2005 1:52:19 PM

a dane cook show could be pretty damn funny

mencia is retarded

[Edited on August 3, 2005 at 1:57 PM. Reason : they could have three races covered with chappelle, mencia, and dane cook]

YES, IT WAS THAT GOOD

it was the best comedy show on TV and the funniest shit i have ever seen on TV

it replaced, imho, "the state" as the funniest show i have ever seen that kept quality material for

numerous seasons

8/3/2005 2:05:06 PM

numerous

yes
i guess 2 is a number larger than 1

i'm not hating
but, its not like i'm going to be sitting on my couch going "what if...." 5 years from now...

PLAY THE FIGHT RIFF JOHN, PLAY IT NOW

8/3/2005 2:08:59 PM

I don't think I'm the only one who is not going to miss things like "I'm rick james, bitch"

8/3/2005 2:10:43 PM

Didn't seem like it was fizzling to me.

8/3/2005 2:11:19 PM

wont be missed, wasnt that good to begin with.

8/3/2005 2:16:12 PM

the prince story was light years better than rick james

8/3/2005 2:18:35 PM

I won't miss all the retards going around saying things like "I'm Rick James, bitch!" or "OOOKAAAAAAY!"

but I will sure as fuck miss the show. I love it. It was by FAR the best thing on TV the past couple of years.

8/3/2005 2:18:39 PM

it's the Niggar family

8/3/2005 2:21:41 PM

but you know, rick james wasn't the only skit ever to come from the show

8/3/2005 2:22:05 PM

I think Mad Real World and Prince were better than Rick James.

8/3/2005 2:24:38 PM

Cocaine is a helluva drug

8/3/2005 2:34:19 PM

i like Kashmir and Whole Lotta Lovin, but fucking hate Stairway

8/3/2005 2:50:16 PM

You're gonna have a hard time convincing me a show is starting to fizzle the same damn season it becomes popular especially when the last episode of that season has the "Black Bush" sketch.

fuckin' a it is

8/3/2005 3:16:32 PM

seriously...dvd sales were higher in the first week then any previous tv show in history. There has to be a lot more between chapelle and comedy central that isn't being made public

8/3/2005 3:17:30 PM

i think there's something wrong with Chappelle

its either drugs, depression, or both. he's just basically gone crazy, margot kidder style.

8/3/2005 3:18:53 PM

They tried to hold down Family Guy, but it returned. I'm not too worried.
