An Eonline report from 90 minutes ago:
In a surprise announcement Wednesday, Comedy Central announced that the highly anticipated third season of Dave Chappelle’s show will not make its May 31 premiere date.
“Comedy Central has suspended production on the third season of Chappelle’s Show until further notice,” network spokesman Tony Fox said in a brief statement. “All parties are optimistic that production will resume in the near future.”
No official reason was given for the shutdown, but sources told E! News that Chappelle has been MIA from the set for weeks. There was no indication on how long the suspension would last.
