My SO has been doing the "Playa Haters Ball" skit almost non-stop. He'll pick me up at the train station, and instead of saying "how was work?" he'll say "Buc Nasty, what can be said about that suit that hasn't already been said about afghanistan...it looks bombed out and depleated.."

This news sucks, but at least we had 2 1/2 seasons. I hated the scatological stuff, but Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories, The Player Hater's Ball, I Know Black People, The Wayne Brady stuff ("Is Wayne Brady gonna hafta choke a bitch?") was genius.

Reading between the lines of this article, it sounds like Dave has "found religion", and that's contributing to his reluctance to continue doing the show.

This is Chappelle's second trip to South Africa. He first came to Durban, and visited Salim, in 2000. Chappelle won't tell me exactly how he met Salim but describes him as a family friend. A soft-spoken Muslim, Salim seems also to be something of a sounding board to Chappelle, who converted to Islam several years ago. While Chappelle is not doing a formal religious course in Durban, says Salim, who wore a simple cotton robe and hung back through the interview and photo shoot and only spoke when I asked him a question, "if he wants to talk religion then I'm there as someone to talk to."
