Question: DO YOU WANNA KNOW HOW THIS SHOW GOT CANCELLED?

Due to poor ratings and the onslaught of racist jokes and stereotyping characters brought this show to a standstill and TURNED viewers away from this in droves. What David Alan Grier said about Barack Obama got this show yanked off the airwaves with the quickeness. What they thought was funny,was insulting and degrading to blacks and other minorities that were fed up with the bullcrap of this show. Seeing blacks acting ignorant and ghetto in this day and age is unacceptable and some of it was stupid to the core. One episode I do recall,when Grier brought in his "In Living Color" alumnus Tommy Davidson and Kim Wayans didn't help much in the ratings not to mention getting former MAD-TV cast member Jordan Peele was the final nail in the coffin.

What made it so appauling is that the producers who were behind Chappelle's Show are primarily responsible of this mess. The last episode of Chocolate News ended in mid-January of 2009,when Comedy Central pull it for its Wednesday night schedule. The show that replaced "Chocolate News?"

Southpark.

And repeated episodes of Chappelle Show.
