Where have you gone Dave Chappelle? Some say a Psych Ward in South Africa, and some think you have gone flat out crazy. Speaking on behalf of your loyal fans, we miss you Dave. We have lost so many comedians to such things as pilgrimages, drugs, and just real life. The days of Richard Pryor slowly turn to a distant memory and you gave us that spark. The days of Chris Tucker spouting stories of cockroaches on Def Comedy Jam have faded to black. So why must you go the straight shooter route? Why do you no longer wish to play the role of the politically incorrect funny man who stirs up trouble on HBO specials and Comedy Central weekly programming?
You were living the good life Dave. Your show was a smash hit. And you had a 50 million dollar deal for two more seasons and you pulled a Vince Young. You walked off the set and no one had any idea what seemed to be the problem. You retired to South Africa for two weeks leaving your show and your money behind because you had to relieve some stress? Come on now Mr. Chappelle. You are one of the greats and your show spoke to a generation of people who just wanted to relax for an hour a week and watch you parade around as Rick James, Samuel L. Jackson, or my personal favorite, Tyrone Biggums.
You are still at the height of your career Mr. Chappelle. YouTube.com tries to show your videos (the ones that comedy central will allow at least) to the masses so people can know about the myth that is now Dave Chappelle. Come back Dave. Your stand up game will always be there. Spread the joy of laughter and black white supremacist skits to everyone like the days of old. This world still needs you Dave.
Your Loyal Fan,
Tom
