[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So ironic that some of the most well known comedians that make us l as laugh and forget about life for a few moments are they themselves are sad and depressed inside. 
Dave Chapelle had a meltdown (though fortunately didn't take his life), Phil Hartman in a murder suicide, and the list goes on.[/quote]

Not to go off on a tangent, but wasn't Phil Hartman the one who was murdered?

Back on topic, so so sad to learn about Robin Williams.  He truly was a comedic genius, and his talents will be greatly missed.  HE will be greatly missed.[/quote]
[b]And Dave Chapelle didn't have a meltdown. He walked away from his show due to creative differences.[/quote][/b]

As someone who worked for comedy central at the time of his departure I feel compelled to comment.  The media decided Dave Chapelle had a meltdown and had to flea to Ohio and never work again.  The media decided he went crazy, the media decided he couldn't handle fame.  It was sensationalized to the point of pure fiction.  Dave Chapelle didn't like having a network show, he felt that it stifled his work and he did not like working under network rules and story lines.  Dave Chapelle decided he had made enough money and took a break to raise his family.  He didnt go crazy.  Really irks me that story.  He did a famous interview with Oprah afterwards to try and set things straight and people still decided that he "just went crazy."  [/quote]
