Dave Chappelle and Jim Breuer were real-life friends at the time. Chappelle was so upset over Breuer's firing that he wanted to quit the show. But his manager, Barry Katz, told Chappelle that he could not break his contract. Creator/producer Matt Williams told Chappelle that he would give him $10,000 if the show was not a hit. It is unknown if Chappelle ever collected the money.
Jim Breuer was originally cast as Dave Chappelle's best friend but was fired just eight days before the premiere. The series was scheduled to premiere in April 1995. The premiere was postponed and the episodes were reshot with Chris Gartin in the role.
Thirteen episodes were produced. But the show was canceled after five episodes. The remaining eight episodes never aired.
A 10-episode DVD was released exclusively by the retailer Best Buy for a brief time.
