Whats Going on with Dave Chappelle?

[MURP]

Some say he's having problems with CC about the tone of the show. Supposedly, he's written some skits that push the envelope further than CC is comfortable with.

I wonder what he could have possibly written that is worse than some of the stuff South Park, crank yankers, or Drawn together have done.   I guess being an animation or a puppet lets you get away with a lot more eh....

[Yeti]

He already pushed the envelope as far as he could.  Maybe he dried up.

Why is that the most brilliant comics are oft the most tortured? Shame if it's true.

Pain fertilizes humor.

and creativity

Beats me. But ,yea, cartoons do get you more leeway.

Maybe they're jumping on the Pansy Bandwagon that seems to have gone out of control ever since NippleGate.

Beyond lame.

Just reported on the Stern show.  Howard, Robin, and crew were saying that Dave was a laid back guy and happy with his place ion life and the fame of the show just invaded his life :-(.

lol...and I'm sure they're totally privvy to the inner workings of his brain.

Shame, though.

[MURP]

that sucks.  hope he gets better.

[SD_Eagle5]

I wonder if this is maybe some sort of sick joke he's pulling...sort of like what Ashton Kutcher did with Punk'D (Although he sort of had to keep celebrities off guard somehow).

[Zanshin]

Eh...I doubt it.  Guy was on top of the world; not much to be gained by this move.  There may be no such thing as bad publicity, but this sure is close.

Many mental institutions also handle addiction cases right? My guess is this is more substance based than crazy in the brain.

I doubt it. He'd go to one of those private clinics, not a mental institution.

[Zanshin]

Maybe he's bipolar.  If so, the real question is whether the Cowboys will sign him to play DE.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Could be either raw crazies or substance abuse.  Pointless to argue.

[rjs246]

Pointless to argue.

If everyone agreed with that the point of internet message boards would cease to exist.
