Who Let the ‘Chef’ Out? Isaac Hayes III Reveals Scientology’s Secret South Park Coup

-

Move over, Randy Marsh’s mustache—there’s a new conspiracy cooking in South Park, and it involves secret scientologists, a stroke, and one very hungry chef. 

According to Isaac Hayes III, son of the late Isaac Hayes, the legendary voice behind Chef, it wasn’t Dad who quit South Park in 2006—it was Scientology leaders playing PR puppeteer, pulling Chef’s apron strings without his permission.

“It really wasn’t a big deal at the time,” Hayes III told Cracked. “That January, in 2006, my dad had a stroke, and during the course of his recovery…they re‑aired the episode. When it re‑aired, that’s when Scientology got upset.”

Yes, folks, the uproar over the infamous “Trapped in the Closet” episode—South Park’s epic takedown of Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Xenu—didn’t prompt Isaac Hayes to storm off the soundstage. 

Rather, his Scientologist publicists and management team declared, “He’s out!” while Hayes Sr. was literally relearning how to talk.

“Those decisions about his involvement in the show, his leaving the show, were made by those people and not him,” Hayes III insists. “He would have never quit that show. He loved that show, and he was making a lot of money doing that show.”

Indeed, for ten seasons, Chef’s soulful sage advice—between spoonfuls of “Salisbury steak”—guided the town’s most absurd crises. 

And Hayes loved the gig. As Hayes III recounts, his father “loved Matt and Trey” and would probably still be dropping culinary wisdom on Cartman’s lousy cooking if he were still with us today.

Instead, under pressure from his Scientology inner circle, Hayes Sr. lost his South Park paycheck. 

The consequences? 

A grueling return to road tours “before he was ready,” disrupting his stroke recovery—and, as Hayes III points out, his health suffered further when:

“What I recall from Scientology is, they weren’t big on modern medicine. They were more into holistic things. So even the medication that he was probably supposed to be taking, he probably wasn’t taking.”

One can almost hear Chef admonishing us to “follow the science, children,” but Chef was silenced—until now. 

In 2016, Hayes III first dropped this bombshell:

“Isaac Hayes did not quit South Park; someone quit South Park for him…Everyone around my father was involved in Scientology—his assistants, the core group of people. So someone quit South Park on Isaac Hayes’ behalf. We don’t know who.”

Who indeed...

Now that Hayes III has unfurled the conspiracy spatula, the question what happened to Chef on South Park has been clarified.

Regardless, we’ll always have reruns—and Salisbury Steak Day, which Hayes III still champions. 

Because if Chef taught us anything, it’s that no matter how many conspiracies swirl, “children, remember to eat your veggies…or at least your Salisbury steak.”

So let’s raise a spatula to Chef, salute Isaac Hayes Sr.’s musical legacy, and tip our hats to Hayes III for finally calling out the cooks behind this mysterious cancellation stew. 

Bon appétit, South Park fans!

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State, where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21 . Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right?

Here's A New HOA Rule Dictating What You Can Do Inside Your Home

HOA Overreach: When Your Own Home Isn’t Really Your Own The joys of homeownership—the American dream!  That magical place where you can paint the walls any color you like, blast your music (within reason), and enjoy the simple pleasure of—wait, never mind..... Turns out, your HOA might have something to say about what you do inside your own four walls. Case in point: A longtime homeowner, who has peacefully lived in his residence for 25 years, was blindsided when his HOA suddenly banned smoking inside individual homes.  That’s right—after a quarter-century of no issues, he was informed that lighting up indoors was no longer an option.  The new rule, passed at the HOA’s annual meeting by a majority vote, now restricts smoking to a designated outdoor area. Now, while some might see this as a health-conscious decision, the homeowner—whose wife is a smoker—sees it as an unfair overreach.  In a letter to a local publication, he expressed frustration, writing, “I’ve live...

Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
