Comedy Central's South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have decided to get the last laugh and strike back with the character Chef, formerly played by Isaac Hayes on this week's show.

Well played.
Ping.
Tanks. :)
Oops - thanks.

I used to like him.
Scientologists are psychotic, weirdo fascists. Creepy.
Did you see the story on Foxnews.com that states that Hayes had a stroke in January, and that's why he was written out of the show?
Strange??
