This is a truly sad time, for not only Dave's fans, but also for the comedy genre. In a time when most so-called comedic shows barely make you laugh, David proved that there are so many more things worth discussing, and if veiwed from an abstract point of veiw seem to me to be the funniest sh*t I've seen on TV since "In Living Color". God Bless David, sort out your issues and get back on track. Don't rob us of one the great comedic minds of this generation.

Dave Chappelle is a naturally brilliant actor and comedian. The chemistry between him and his writers couldn't be better. I am sadden to hear of his sudden illness, and I wish him a speedy recovery.

Whoever approved of renewing Chappelle for $50M needs to go for psychiatric treatment.

Probably an AIDS sketch with Thabo Mbeki. That would be hilarious.

Too bad -- I'm just watching his show for the first time this week, thanks to Netflix. Uneven, maybe, but his highs are great.

Maybe he is working on a sketch with Nelson Mandela? That would sure be puching the boundary :-)

Chappelle reportedly wanted to push the boundaries of his comedy, with some racially provocative sketches, but the network had resisted.

Not like he's ever done any racially provocative sketches on that show before.

And why south africa? One would think there would be better places in the world to seek psychiatric treatment.
