An Open Letter to Dave Chappelle

Dear Dave,

Please come back. Carlos Mencia's MIND OF MENCIA has been touted as "possibly the greatest thing for Comedy Central since Chappelle's Show."

After repeated viewings, Mencia's show is dull and mediocre at best. I watch it now only as background noise.

Dave, what you and your co-writer Neal have come up with are true works of comedy genius.

From what I've read about your journey to South Africa, it seems you have two problems.

1) Your crew needs to be weeded out.

2) You're worried about not living up to network and fan expectations.

I'm sorry I can't help you out with that first part. It's something you gotta do on your own.

The second part, I got you covered. Don't worry about it. Write what you think is funny. That's what you did for the first two seasons, and that shouldn't change for the third. Don't worry about being able to top yourself from last season. No one in a million years will EVER be as funny as you impersonating Rick James screaming, "Fuck your couch, nigga!" over and over again.









NOTHING WILL EVER BE AS FUNNY AS THAT SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

Please, Dave, come back soon.










Also, what the fuck is up with the titties getting censored on the Season 2 DVD set?
