"Chappelle's Show is over, man. Done," comic Charlie Murphy told TV Guide. "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."

"I'm disappointed it ended the way it did, but I'm not angry with anybody," he said. "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."

"Now I can go out and do stand-up," he said. "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."

Turns down $50 million, stupid bitch.Not everyone is as poor as you are. I know it's hard for your broke ass to believe, but maybe.. just maybe.. they money didn't matter. After all, he always said "I'm rich, bitch!"

I can't say I blame him. I know I'd rather be a free and independant man, than a wealthy puppet.

I really wanted it to be this year... but my company is moving before the previously scheduled time, and I need/want to get a new car, so I can get there every day.
Next summer, definitely. I am still trying to decide between the Raleigh and Charlotte areas...
