** Sort of. The "Trading Spouses" sketch was meant to make fun of the RealityTV craze. A little while later ABC announced that they were going to do an American version of ''Series/WifeSwap''. A couple of weeks before it's debut, Fox premiered ''Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy'', and ABC accused them of ripping off their show.

** Dave left the show mostly due to the way he felt the racial humor had gone, the fanbase that refused to stop repeating his famous lines and how Comedy Central treated the show. The fact that he had gone from stuff like ''Film/HalfBaked'' to becoming a cultural icon in less than five years might also have been [[CreatorBreakdown a bit too much for him to take in all at once]]. Dave also said that he didn't believe the third season could possibly live up to the hype of his 50 million dollar contract; he tried to keep the contract a secret from the media and was upset to see the headline in the newspaper.

** The [=DVDs=] lack about half of the live musical performances due to licensing disagreements. However, since Creator/ComedyCentral reruns the show periodically, it shouldn't be too hard to find this material. The [=DVDs=], despite being huge sellers that can easily be found second-hand anywhere, ultimately fell out of print for a couple of years. In 2012 Comedy Central reissued the entire series as a box set. The series was also on Creator/{{Hulu}} in its entirety before it was removed in 2017 and currently on Creator/PlutoTV and Creator/CBSAllAccess and on digital storefronts, without censorship (as mentioned above, the HBO Max version skipped over an episode that had Ron Jeremy in a cameo due to being charged with sexual assault).

** Creator/WayneBrady's famous guest role came about because he was not pleased with the joke that he "makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcom X." When it came back around to Chappelle he reached out to Brady personally and said he wasn't fond of the joke either, as it was written by Paul Mooney and got a few laughs in the writers room, as it fed into the stereotypes of TheWhitestBlackGuy and StopBeingStereotypical. That lead to Brady's later appearance where he got to [[PlayingAgainstType play with that reputation]].
