Before that he made movies that were well, poop. Just like Bill Murray, Robin Williams, and Tom Hanks, Black is going to make a transition from a pain in the ass burping, drinking, farting, swearing slob, to a very serious role. What about "Theloneous Monk" his musical side project? He better hope the movie takes off or we'll be seeing Orange County II, III, and IV, as well as School of Rock II, II, and IV.

While it's still not clear where Dave and his self titled show vanished to earlier this year, Comedy Central knows that he was under contract for another season which he never did. Now, things are going to get ugly as Comedy Central is putting together a 3rd season of The Chapelle Show without Dave Chapelle. Since Dave took off earlier this year without notice and still hasn't gotten in touch with the network, Season 3 is going to be a collection of sketches that never made it on the show, outtakes, bloopers, and what they are describing as the "beginning of the Dave's downward spiral". When they air it, Chapelle will be made a fool. They WILL air all of them. Seems as though when Dave took a walk and left everything behind, he also left all of his nutty characters and material behind. It is now all property of HBO Productions and Dave can't do anything about it. If there was ever a slim chance of him coming back, it's now over. I'm sure lawyers are waiting with Comedy Central on their "speed dial". THAT'S the way I see it today. Go Bears! ...I don't think it will happen today. -------- Squealing Pig WORLDWIDE!: Jack Black loves his monkey AND Chapelle's Show minus Chapelle

Jack Black loves his monkey AND Chapelle's Show minus Chapelle
