This is kind of sad news. I love Chappelle's show, but I guess he's got some serious stuff to work out. I'm hoping for the best.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Damn. Makes sense, though.

[XxSephirothxX]

That's really a shame. While sometimes his skits were stupid and over-the-top, his show was genuinely creative and often hilarious. Although I still hate the fact that people quote his impersonations of Rick James and Lil' John all the time.

Maybe he can use that time to sort out his acts of blatant racism....I mean his commedy act.

[GooeyToast]

Yeah, i know what you mean.

[Necronopticous]

That's awful news, I hope this all turns out alright, not just for the show but more importantly for Dave himself.

[GooeyToast]

I feel sorry for him, but i can't help but think that this may all be some kind of act, however unlikely that is.

If he truely is having mental problems though, i hope he gets better.

[XxSephirothxX]

It seems unlikely that he would fly to South Africa simply for a gag. Of course, it's possible. Hopefully some more news will come out soon.

He's managed to make me laugh a time or two...but alot of his stuff I find rather annoying and uncalled for...I would of never expected to see this though. Heh.

But then, that's why I don't watch his show, or television at all for that matter.

[Sephex]

Well, I hope he feels better no matter what he does. I do love his show.

[Shoeberto]

I don't have any official sources, but my friend said he saw that Comedy Central is seriously cosidering cancelling the show if he doesn't come back.

So apparantly, it's not so much that they want to cancel the show, it's just that if they probably won't feel it if no new episodes come out. The fans will, though.

[omnitarian]

South Africa? Is South Africa renowned for its mental institutions or something? Weird.

[Skarr]

i hope dave's ok........his show is pretty damn awesome....and for all those who hate seeing it........I'M RICK JAMES BITCH.........SHOW CHARLIE MURPHEY HERE YOUR TITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
