Charlie Murphy is in the news saying Chapelle’s Show is really over forever. Apparently there are eight un-aired episodes already in the can for what would have been the third season.. so maybe we’ll get to see those someday. At least this means we’ll get to see Dave do stand-up more often. Here’s a few articles about it: E! Online, Mtv.com, CanMag.

Mitch Hedberg article in Entertainment Weekly
EW has a new article about Mitch: “Comic Tragedy The rise and fall of comedy’s Kurt Cobain” — The rock & roll life and sudden death of Mitch Hedberg, an underappreciated stand-up genius by Daniel Fierman.
It’s a good write-up.. and Mitch’s passing IS a tragedy.. and we all miss him and wish he was still here.. but do we have to compare him to Kurt Cobain? Can’t his career and life and accomplishments and comedy speak for itself and stand on it’s own feet? I think so. To me, Mitch Hedberg wasn’t “comedy’s Kurt Cobain,” so much as he was “the one and only Mitch Hedberg.”
Check out the article, though.
