Comedienne's Second TV Show Canceled This Year

'Dancing With the Stars' did a lot of promotion for Chris Brown's performance next week, however all that may be moot after his reported violent incident at ABC's 'Good Morning America.'Now, several ABC executives are demanding Chris Brown to be banned from the series.
"Chris was so dangerous backstage that we called 911," a 'GMA' insider tells me. "He totally flew off the handle after being asked a question about his 2009 assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna. Now ABC has to decide if they are willing to let this man promote his music on a family show on its network or walk away from this obviously troubled young man."

During the 'GMA' interview to promote the release of his new album, 'F.A.M.E.,' Brown told anchor Robin Roberts, "It's not really a big deal to me now, as far as that situation. I think I'm past that in my life. Today's the album day, so that's what I'm focused on."
Brown went on to perform a song before returning to his dressing room and tearing it apart.
"If the network doesn't care about promoting this thug, they should care about protecting its staff," a rival executive tells me. "This sort of behavior is not acceptable from anyone no matter how talented or famous they might be. 'Dancing With the Stars' is one of the biggest shows on TV, and if they do decide to allow him to promote his music on it he should definitely be asked to say sorry for throwing a chair and smashing a window."
Several 'Dancing With the Stars' cast members have already told me they want nothing to do with Chris Brown. What do you think? Should Chris be banned? See the interview that led to Chris Brown's violent explosion:
