'Show' Won't Go On
EW Exclusive: Chappelle in psych hospital -- With its star hospitalized in South Africa, ''Chappelle's Show'' is unlikely to return to Comedy Central for a third season by Josh Wolk
LAUGH OFF ''Chappelle's Show'' is unlikely to return
Comedian Dave Chappelle has checked himself into a mental health facility in South Africa and has remained there since late April, according to a source close to the situation. The same source denies rumors of **** abuse. Other sources have also told EW that the future of Chappelle's Show — the hit Comedy Central series that was entering its third season — is more uncertain than the network has suggested.
Comedy Central last week made a hasty announcement that the show's third season, already delayed from its planned February start, had been postponed again. The network said it remained ''optimistic'' that production could resume. The highly rated sketch series has been a huge moneymaker for Viacom, which owns Comedy Central. Its second season is about to be released on DVD, on the heels of first-season sales that made it the top-selling television DVD in history.
Thanks in large part to the DVD sales, Chappelle last year netted a $50 million deal for co-writing and starring in the show. Sketches to fill about four episodes in the third season have been taped, but Chappelle's interstitial material with live audiences has not. The fate of the sketches has not been determined.

Chris Farley is the perfect example.
Alot of people are saying that the pressure of being so famous got to him. Its hard to constantly have to live up to such a high standard. |

Good thing Nick Carter's looking out for his kid. :wtf:
But really, that's not good at all. I'm not really looking forward to CS, however. |

Lots of comedians take drugs, or smoke a lil weed, sometimes it brings out theyre prerformance better because they are less inhibited to say what they REALLY want to say and its the unbeleiveable that no one ever wants to say is what I find funniest sometimes. People say the craziest when they are ed up.
Sometimes on stand up shows you can just look at the comedian and see he is clearly on something, but if he is funny i could care less and I continue to watch. |

I am not justifying it I am stating that I dont care if they are on something and it sometimes makes them funnier. If they are out of control they obviously cant put on a performance at all. |

| i read a magazine today that had some article on the whole thing. it said something about dave being stressed because he felt like he had to make every season better than the last and he felt pressured by it. I hope everything gets better for him, he's a cool ass dude. |
