Who will pickup where Chappelle left off?

I remember the first time I saw Dave Chappelle doing stand-up he had this bit with the police & innocent black men "just sprinkle some crack on him". I was hooked immediately. He was doing some edgy shit. Reminded me of how Eddie Murphy exploded back in the day.

All of a sudden he's on top of the world and then the pressure gets to him. It's a shame that he couldn't continue. I know he has his reasons, however I just want to see him do his thing. Last year I went down to Ypsilanti Michigan to see him and he talked about his fleeing to Africa and the things that the media was reporting. It was cool to see him laugh at himself. Dude went for 3 hours! It was awesome. I was wiped out afterwards from laughing so much.

I hope that he gets to do his own show the way that he wants to because the world needs more of Dave Chappelle's comedy.
