Chappelle a Freak?

Ok, the latest "news" is that David Chappelle is somewhere in South Africa. Ok, that is nothing to gasp at, because after all, maybe he is visiting it or something. However, he checked himself into a mental facility. A MENTAL FACILITY. What the hell is going on? No one has any answers. Publicity stunt? I highly doubt it, since the show was getting a huge amount of play before this ever happened. But if it is, that's wrong.

That makes me wonder why the show cannot go on. Here is the deal - Chappelle and Neal Brennan (head writer) are the main show contributors, from what I gather. Chappelle is the on-stage star, though. Wayne Brady came in and took his place with the same writing, so just get someone, maybe Charlie Murphy, and have him do what Dave does, which is introduce the skits. Neal cannot be overlooked on the show, as he is a huge talent and writes a decent amount of the show. Him and Dave are on the same level. I say, Chappelle's Show should now be Murphy's Show, and have "Lysol" Charlie Murphy host.
