It’s a wrap! For those of you hanging on to hope by a single thread, Charlie Murphy just put the nail in the coffin regarding Dave Chappelle’s infamous variety show Chappelle’s Show.
In a recent interview with TV Guide, Charlie spoke up about the situation and any speculation of the show going back to Comedy Central.
When asked what the status of the third season was and if it would ever air, Charlie replied…
“Nah, not on television. We shot over half the season, man. Season 3 is ready. But if they’re not going to show it right now… when? Are they going to show it next year?”
AD LOADING...
He continued when asked what would happen to those eight episodes that were shot…
“I don’t know. They had a big screening where they looked at the episodes and everyone was happy with what they had. They have possession of it. it’ll go straight to DVD and they’ll say, “Here’s the Season 2 DVD for sale for Christmas — and it Season 3’s unseen footage.”
Then to put the rumors of the show to rest…
“Chappelle’s Show is over, man. Done. It took me a long time to be able to say those words, but I can say it pretty easy now, because it’s the truth. There’s no way to get around it. It’s a new day. I’m disappointed it ended the way it did, but I’m not angry with anybody. Chappelle’s Show was like the Tupac of TV shows. It came out, it got everybody’s attention, it was a bright shining star, but it burned out and for some strange reason, it burned out quick. The two seasons I acted on that show made me a star. Now I can go out and do stand-up. I’m getting movie offers. It’s off the hook. Me getting to the next level or whatever’s going to happen is going to come from the next things I do, but Chappelle’s Show served its purpose and I’ll always be grateful.”
