So, what happened to James on 'Dave and Chuck the Freak'?
To transparent up any hypothesis, James posted a video to YouTube explaining that on Dec. 1, 2023, he was once let cross from the Dave and Chuck the Freak display.
He claimed the transfer was "due to budget cuts."
"I'm not happy about it," James mentioned, including, "That's the industry." He went on to say that it is tough to generate income in radio.
"I'm no longer a part of [the show]," James lamented, and stated, "It's a bummer."
Fans piled into the comments of the percentage to voice their agreement. "I appreciate the honest 'look behind the curtain,'" one particular person mentioned, adding, "I know this couldn’t be easy but the outlook you have on life is something a lot of us should adopt!"
For those who are not accustomed to the program, it's described as principally being irreverent with nothing off limits.
"Our feeling is that nothing is sacred, and you should be able to laugh at everything life throws at you," the display's description reads. "Our show is a show about truth and we’re not going to candy coat anything. We’ll tell you how we feel no matter how many complaints we receive."
And it sort of feels that various lawsuits now focus on James being fired from the display — such a lot so that his departure has impressed an internet petition.

Over one hundred thirty other people have signed a Change.org petition aiming to get James's process again.
"James Campbell, a vital part of the Dave and Chuck the Freak show, has been unjustly terminated by Beasley Media Group," the petition claimed.
It went on to say, "His unique on-air personality and significant contributions to behind-the-scenes production work have made him an irreplaceable asset to one of their most popular shows."
"The decision to remove him from this role not only disrupts the dynamic of a beloved program, but also threatens its ratings," the petition then outlines.
Finally, the petition says that James's firing is "not just an affront to his dedication and hard work but also a potential detriment to Beasley Media's success given that Dave and Chuck the Freak is one of their highest-rated programs."
With the termination being known as "an error in judgement," in the long run, the petition is an effort to get James his task again. However, at the time of writing, it doesn't seem that he has been rehired, as his YouTube bio states he's a "former" radio worker.
