Comedy Central has abruptly halted production on Chappelle’s Show. Word on the street is its star had a nervous breakdown. The third season was scheduled to premiere this month, but has now been pushed back. Guess you’ll have to rewatch those DVDs a little while longer. Or play with the Rick James soundboard.

In happier news, Stephen Colbert is getting his own show that will air after The Daily Show. The Colbert Report will parody talking screaming heads like Sean Hannity and Chris Matthews.

  1. Do you have a link to the nervous breakdown story?

  2. I can’t find any stories that confirm the reason that production stopped on the show, although there are many stories that state that the show has stopped production, with the hopes of restarting it ASAP. I guess Gummy has some contacts on the inside. Either that or someone is having a little fun with him ;)

    Does that mean I’m not going to the taping this weekend?

  4. i would also assume when lindsay lindsayism returns from CA she’ll have info as well, being that she works at CC and all (like she had the inside tip on mitch hedburg. RIP.)

    or maybe that’s just my fantasy world of bloggers thinking that y’all really do know each other “IRL” ;)

  5. The Colbert Report. It’s French…bitch.

    I sometimes like to look at myself in the mirror. It makes me feel stong inside. When nobody is looking I take toothpaste and squeeze it up my butt. Does that make me gay?

  20. i believe it.

  21. There’s an article about this on newsweek:

    Dave Chapelle sucks balls. He is over rated and he isn’t funny at all. Just because he pretends to be rick james and says bitch a lot, doesn’t mean he’s funny. BITCH BITCH BITCH! LOOK AT ME I’M RICK JAMES! BITCH BITCH BITCHIDY BITCH!!! Where’s my Tv show??
