I think its a combination of 2 things:
1. If you use great material, theres always the risk that in another couple seasons the material will be watered down and not as funny...you dont wanna pull a Michael Jordan...go out in your prime like Barry Sanders
2. The success may have changed Dave, or began to change him psychologically for the worse...basically he could've realized he was on the verge of "selling out" or at least not doing the type of shows that everybody loved, and along with #1, gotten out while he was ahead

I remember he said something in some of his early stand-up, before he got big. It was to the effect of "I don't ever want to get famous. I'd like people to know who I am, but when you get really famous shit just gets crazy." etc etc.
I think he's fed up with going out in public and having everyone run up to him saying "I'm Rick James, bitch!". He even said that in another stand-up routine, that he's sick of being out with his kids and having that happen all the time.8/3/2005 10:27:29 PM |

the show had its moments.
chapelle knew that a great amount of the hype surrounding his show was due to the bandwagon effect.

im glad chapelle quit his show, he reallys is so much better in movies and doin stand-up. When people start sayin "im rick james bitch" like 50 times a day to you, it doesn't become funny to you anymore. It becomes annoying as hell and shit really does become crazy. 8/5/2005 2:37:27 PM |

Like I said, I'm sick of hearing people spout off catchphrases too.
But I can (and do) still watch those sketches and love them.

That's fine and dandy - But I'm tired of the fuckers who hated on tough crowd but are in love with mencia. They just stole the show layout, took away the guests and stuck a spic in the place of a bloated mick8/6/2005 10:20:43 AM |

Chappelle and CC are just realizing (unlike all of you) that the show sucks
its not even funny
even they were surprised at the incredible response the show got
but then they saw that the dumbasses that liked the show were exactly that: dumbasses
and the world was stupider for watching
and Chappelle wasn't ready to be a god of the dumbasses
so in an attempt to save society from the pandora's box they open they chose to stop the show
and anyway, the funniest one was the wayne brady one, simply b/c the show didn't revolve around chappelle 8/6/2005 11:48:18 AM |
