#1 I think the episode last night still featured the voice of Isaac Hayes.

Also the episode ended with the dead Chef being revived enough to be put into a Darth Vader life support armor type suit and using Darth type speech patterns.

#2 Not "exhaustion." He had a stroke. It's been reported that he did not make any statement about the Scientology episode; the "church" spoke for him.

BTW, it was a really funny episode.

#3 South Park has exacted revenge on its former star Isaac Hayes by turning his character Chef into a paedophile and seemingly killing him off.

Trust South Park to make sure their skewers are sharpened along their entire length.

I still like their original "Jesus versus Santa Claus" episode the best.

#4 my favorite episode is the one where the kids end up praising Starbucks (it also has underwear gnomes).

#5 Hmmmm... "Woodland Creatures Christmas" is a favorite, as is the one where Jimmy and Timmy join a gang and the sea-people/sea-men episode.

Hard to really nail down an absolute favorite. There are a few I won't watch again, though, like the one where Mr. Garrison gets a sex change.

#6 Last night's episode featured Hayes' voice, but they spliced old dialogue together to do it. There was no attempt for it to be a believable edit - the intonation was unmistakably mismatched from word to word.

And yes, the original "get Tom Cruise out of the closet" episode is one of the funniest things I've ever seen sober. If you're self important, you don't want to be on these guys bad side.

Wonder if this was an intentional slam on the clams claiming to speak for Hayes?
