Dave Chappelle is one of the funniest and on the ball American comedians about. His show the Chappelle show is a big hit and he got €50 million to produce a third series from Comedy central.
However from wikipedia
The comedian stunned fans and the entertainment industry when he abruptly left during production of the third season of Chappelle's Show. He spent two weeks in South Africa before returning home to his 65-acre farm near Yellow Springs, and then returned to standup comedy. His decision triggered reports that he had mental or drug problems, which he denied On May 11, news sources (most notably Entertainment Weekly) reported that Chappelle had checked himself into a psychiatric facility in South Africa. Chappelle denies this. On May 14, Time Magazine announced that one of their reporters had interviewed Chappelle in South Africa, and the comedian said no psychiatric treatments were occurring or necessary. Chappelle reportedly went to South Africa to purify himself and to do some soul searching. Chappelle has also said he was unhappy with the direction of his show.
The reason behind his decision to leave is a mystery however one theory is that a group called the Dark Crusaders were trying to get him to quit.
The theory is outlined here.

But what ever you believe America has lost a great show.
