It appears certain that there will be no third season of Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central in 2005. From a number of new sources including CBS, creative differences between comedian Dave Chappelle and Comedy Central have led to production stoppage of the show.

BET has a golden opportunity to further legitimize itself if it attempts to get the Chappelle's Show. While other comedians and music moguls in the past and present, such as Chris Rock and P. Diddy have gone to other cable networks, this may be BET's chance to find itself in every home in America.

Chappelle's Show is an America phenomenon, in the way this comedy exposes many of our prejudices concerning race, sex, politics, etc., but instead of trying to divide us, his show brings us together, and gives us hope that we can make light of our ignorance.

I hope BET makes an offer for the show. It would bring better ratings, and more money to the network. Dave Chappelle and BET sounds like a match made in heaven.
