    Yeah, I don't blame Myers for milking it, but I don't blame chappelle for getting sick of it. Myers had years to get used to the idea of being a celebrity during SNL where he could work in a team and get used to people coming up to you and imiating something you thought was funny a year ago. Plus he's rich enough now to never have to interact with real people ever again if he doesn't want to.

    He kissed a few million goodbye to ensure that the shitty version of "sprockets" universal wanted to make got buried. I think Chappelle's about there. he wants to move on.

    'Show' Won't Go On
    EW Exclusive: Chappelle in psych hospital -- With its star hospitalized in South Africa, ''Chappelle's Show'' is unlikely to return to Comedy Central for a third season by Josh Wolk

    LAUGH OFF ''Chappelle's Show'' is unlikely to return
    Comedian Dave Chappelle has checked himself into a mental health facility in South Africa and has remained there since late April, according to a source close to the situation. The same source denies rumors of drug abuse. Other sources have also told EW that the future of Chappelle's Show ??? the hit Comedy Central series that was entering its third season ??? is more uncertain than the network has suggested.

    Comedy Central last week made a hasty announcement that the show's third season, already delayed from its planned February start, had been postponed again. The network said it remained ''optimistic'' that production could resume. The highly rated sketch series has been a huge moneymaker for Viacom, which owns Comedy Central. Its second season is about to be released on DVD, on the heels of first-season sales that made it the top-selling television DVD in history.

    Thanks in large part to the DVD sales, Chappelle last year netted a $50 million deal for co-writing and starring in the show. Sketches to fill about four episodes in the third season have been taped, but Chappelle's interstitial material with live audiences has not. The fate of the sketches has not been determined.

    And of course, the most "mental" thing being, how did he end up checking himself into a psyche ward in South Africa[/b]????
