Exhausted Bernie Mac postpones show
Bernie Mac's hit sitcom The Bernie Mac Show has been put on hiatus, while the comedian battles exhaustion.
Mac spent much of the summer simultaneously shooting Ocean’s Twelve and Guess Who, while also promoting the movie Mr 3000, before heading back to the set of the Bernie Mac Show.
Now that he's exhausted, bosses at Regency TV and Fox have decided to temporarily halt production on the sitcom - which had already suffered delays due to Mac's schedule - and give the star a four-week break before picking back up again.
As a result, the show will not return to American screens on November 3 as originally planned, reports website Eurweb.
Fox says in a statement: "Bernie should be fully recovered in a matter of weeks, production will then resume, and the series will return to the schedule."
