they killed chef because chef quit the show after they made fun of scientology... when a voice of somebody in an animated series quits, you either have to use his old voice-overs for new episodes, or get rid of em.. what do you think the people over at south park are going to do? lol.. but yea chef quit, didnt get fired.. over making fun of scientology??? i woulda killed him too
