Sounds like the little interview you have before you donate blood.

another guy who has it all going for him, does stupid like drugs.
what an idiot.
Is he on drugs?
I thought that he has mental problems and is in a wacko house.
All in all Dave Chapelle is a very funny man.
He has to be crazy to come up with those sketches. He is hilarious!
OJ Simpson is black again!
People do all kinds of stupid but unless you are in his socks, I wouldn't be so quick to judge.
wtf, the guy has a budding career, and hes doing cocaine.
No, I dont have to be in his in socks dumbass to say, HES A DUMBASS.
So dont give me the whole political correctness Bull .
Who said he was doing cocaine? I thought that he was just checked into a MENTAL health facility and that no drugs were involved.
Problem is no one wants to say anything. It is all speculation at this point. Whatever it is, hope he gets back to work and soon.
I don't see that as a problem. It's nobody's business but his and his family.
it would make more sense to me that he would be in a facility for drug rehab, because comedic people tend to have more of a problem with substance abuse than with mental instability....... usually anyways...
plus "mental health facility" is a somewhat loose term...
Actually it's the term used for umm.. a place for treatment for mental health/psychiatric problems.plus "mental health facility" is a somewhat loose term...
He might be in drug rehab, but I just don't think people should be jumping to conclusions. The reports I read said mental health and no drugs. But who knows? I just didn't understand the cocaine allegations here. I thought maybe I had missed an article on it.
BTW.. he may not be in any type of facility.

Dave Chappelle Found! Talks Exclusively with TIME Magazine in South Africa
"I figured, Let me just cut myself off from everybody, take a minute and pull a Flintstone-stop a speeding car by using my feet as the brakes. I am surprised at what I would do for $50 million. I am surprised at what people around me would do for me to have $50 million," Dave Chappelle tells TIME's Christopher John Farley in an exclusive interview.
CHAPPELLE tells TIME he's not in mental hospital or drug rehab, debunking earlier reports in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY and elsewhere.
The full story, as well as exclusive photos of Chappelle in South Africa, will appear on TIME.com Sunday morning and in the issue that hits newsstands Monday.
Developing...
Maybe he got tired of all the fame?? I couldnt really think of other reasons, unless its a big hoax, but I doubt he would do that.
I prefer Mel Brooks' Clinic for very, very, very, VERY nervous people.
I hope not, because then I would have to lump him in with Kurt Cobain as a big whiny who needs to get off it. boo hoo!
What are you saying? That you want Courtney Love to off Dave Chappelle too?

Dave Chappelle Says He's Not Crazy
NEW YORK (AP) -- Comedian Dave Chappelle wants to set things straight: "I'm not crazy, I'm not smoking crack," he tells Time magazine in an interview more than a week after his hit Comedy Central show was suspended and the rumors started to fly.
"I'm definitely stressed out," said Chappelle, who took off last month to South Africa for a "spiritual retreat," leaving his fans - and even his agent and publicist - wondering where he went.
"You hear so many voices jockeying for position in your mind that you want to make sure that you hear your own voice," he said. "So I figured, let me just cut myself off from everybody, take a minute and pull a Flintstone - stop a speeding car by using my bare feet as the brakes."
After Comedy Central announced that the planned May 31 debut of the third season of "Chappelle's Show" had been postponed, the magazine Entertainment Weekly reported that Chappelle had checked himself into a mental health facility in South Africa.
"I'm not in a mental facility," said Chappelle, who also said he did not have a drug problem but had consulted a psychiatrist for one 40-minute visit.
The 31-year-old comedian said he fled to stay with friends in Durban because he wasn't happy with the direction of the show, which is behind only "South Park" as Comedy Central's most-watched program.
"There's a lot of resistance to my opinions, so I decided, 'Let me remove myself from this situation,'" Chappelle said.
Comedy Central president Doug Herzog told Time that the star has "complete creative freedom." He has told staff he believes there won't be a "Chappelle's Show" in 2005, but leaves the option open for the comedian's return.
Dave Chappelle Says He's Not Crazy
Chappelle, whose wife and two children live in Ohio, said he hopes to start up the show again, but did not indicate when he would return.
Comedy Central had inked a reported $50 million deal to keep "Chappelle's Show" for two more seasons, and the comedian hinted to Time about struggles associated with the power and fame that come with that kind of success.
"If you don't have the right people around you, and you're moving at a million miles an hour, you can lose yourself," he said. "Everyone around me says, 'You're a genius, you're great, that's your voice,' but I'm not sure that they're right."
He is just concentrating harder since he is the oldest one.
Here's the Time magazine article
thanks s . glad dave's cool. he just needed to get away and get his mental straight.
i'm sure he'll be back to make us all laugh soon enough.
i know what it's like to need a break, don't we all?
People applaud Chappelle for such a decision, but deride Ricky Williams for making similar choices.
I guess no one had Dave on their fantasy team.
