I just feel wrong watching them, like it's almost a sin to watch something that Dave doesn't approve of. I still did, and for the most part, the shit was still funny.

I was watching a CNN interview with my man Anderson and Dave talked all about how he won't even watch the new ones for awhile. He said that when he first showed them to an audience, he got "the wrong kind of laugh from some white guy" and that he didn't want to subject the audience to that sort of thing. He didn't go into details, but it's probable that is was either offensive and/or racist, yet Comedy Central, being a huge business that they are, went ahead and made the arrangements to air the episodes.

Dave went on to say that he left the show b/c he didn't feel like he had control anymore, and was forced to either sensor himself or just do an idea that Com. Central came up with. He didn't like the vibe around him, so he left. He got away from it all, and I for once give it up to him. He had his fun, did what he does, and once that got old, he got back to what he really loves: stand-up. He's still touring and loving every minute of it, so I'm happy for him that at least he's found some sort of inner peace.

As for the future of the show, well there's only 2 more epidsodes with new skits that Dave made before he headed FAR east, so I'd say the ride's about over. And if they try and make some other stupid spin-off from Darnell and Charlie, it will make me cringe. Both those guys are fucking hilarious, don't get me wrong, but they need to crawl out from under Dave's spotlight now and get their own shit going, on their own!

Damn that sux
didn't really know about the history and/or why he left the show..
after hearing that maybe it is for the best that it's only
2 more episodes of new material left..i def want to try and see his live
show 1 day...
