Chef Leaving South Park
Isaac Hayes Quits ‘South Park’
Co-creator of show says singer had no trouble mocking Christians Isaac Hayes says he can no longer stomach "South Park's" jokes about religion. New York - Isaac Hayes has quit “South Park,” where he voices Chef, saying he can no longer stomach its take on religion. Hayes, who has played the ladies’ man/school cook in the animated Comedy Central satire since 1997, said in a statement Monday that he feels a line has been crossed. “There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins,” the 63-year-old soul singer and outspoken Scientologist said. “Religious beliefs are sacred to people, and at all times should be respected and honored,” he continued. “As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices.” “South Park” co-creator Matt Stone responded sharply in an interview with The Associated Press Monday, saying, “This is 100 percent having to do with his faith in Scientology... He has no problem — and he’s cashed plenty of checks — with our show making fun of Christians.” Last November, “South Park” targeted the Church of Scientology and its celebrity followers, including actors Tom Cruise and John Travolta, in a top-rated episode called “Trapped in the Closet.” In the episode, Stan, one of the show’s four mischievous fourth graders, is hailed as a reluctant savior by Scientology leaders, while a cartoon Cruise locks himself in a closet and won’t come out. Stone told The AP he and co-creator Trey Parker “never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin.”

There is a separate version of what happened, stating that he didn't quit over the religion thing, but had a stroke in January and has had to recover from it since...

It sucks he's leaving but he's gotta do what he's gotta do and I don't think at this point Isaac's too strapped for cash to do it.

This is definitely a sad thing to happen to South Park! I'm just curious as to why he's now leaving the show if he's this offended by the mocking of christianity. I mean, you've been on the show for 9 seasons now, and now you get offended?!? What the fuck?!? Well, tonight's new episode is "The Return of Chef". Should be good. Hopefully! *sits quietly* COME BACK ISAAC HAYES!!! I MISS YOU!!! :(
