Comedy: Bill Burr Says Yelling At Other People’s Kids Could Make America Great Again (Video)
I want people at home to know just how sh!tty things are around here.
Bwwwhahaaa! Conan & Team Coco is already hilarious off top. Add crazy azz Bill Burr in the mix and it’s a wrap. Insanely funny. Like… got us laughing at ‘yelling at unsuspecting kids’ funny.
Bill Burr thinks he’s lucky to have a little girl because boys are maniacs who throw rocks at cars.

Trevor Speaks On A South African Getting Jailed for Being Racist (Video)
Spoiler alert: She’s White.
File this under “she didn’t know when to shet tf up” (yes, I meant ‘shet’… not ‘shut’). Admittedly, it would be a bit extreme to lock up an American citizen for a tirade, even one laced with words of hate. But Trevor has a point about it not being hard to not get locked up in this case: “Just don’t be racist.”

Dr. Evil from the ‘Austin Powers’ movies!!! Score for Jimmy Fallon. Sketching out a hilarious clip with Mike Myers’ character clowning the Trump Administration’s lack of character… and throwing his ‘hat’ in the ring for a Presidential run in 2020… score AND a win for us all! Hilarious!
Jimmy interviews the latest person to be fired from the Trump administration, Dr. Evil (Mike Myers).

HBO’s ‘King In The Wilderness’ Examines The Final Years Of Dr. King (Teaser)
We’ve posted on activist/educator Dr. Bernard LaFayette on here, a close associate of Dr. MLK Jr. back in the day. Bet money he could speak on this and more (and he might). But let’s see what this HBO joint has to say. Looks intriguing.
Coming in April, this documentary follows Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the last few years of his life, from the vital role he played in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to his assassination in 1968.

Soooo, Conan would be a ‘problem’ in the NBA! Magic said so… you heard it… sort of… Bwaaaahahaa!

ESPN Teases New Morning Show With Jalen Rose, Michelle Beadle & Mike Greenberg (Series Trailer)
Think it’s about time Jalen gets truly spotlighted for what he brings to small screens. If you’ve seen him on something, you know he’ll shine. But this looks like he gets direct spotlight. Good look. Probably a good bet for a good show.
Get ready to “Get Up” with Jalen Rose, Michelle Beadle and Mike Greenberg. The morning show premieres April 2 at 7 a.m. ET.

A Touching Documentary On Public Television’s Mr. Rogers (Trailer)
Here's the trailer for the Mr. Rogers documentary 'Won't You Be My Neighbor?" which made us cry quite a bit at Sundance. It's in theaters June 8. pic.twitter.com/hXmj7fTBFf

As it should be. This “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” trailer teases a film that might pull a few tears (happy, sentimental) from you. So when you catch it in theaters June 8th, tuck a pack of those mini-tissues somewhere on you… for the guy next to you (of course).
Jermaine Dupri Speaks On Why Men Ghost On Women (Video)
Saw several commenters crying foul and calling b.s. on Mr. SoSo Def’s take on the matter. If you end up being one of them in that camp, there is more commentary to see. Buuuut, I reserve comment on JD’s callout. I have seen truth in it. Might not be something universal, but there is something to it.
What misconceptions do women have about men? Why do men ghost on women? 🤔 Jermaine Dupri and our BETs Mancave hosts break down common beliefs that women have gotten wrong about men. Do you agree? Let us know in the comments. #MancaveBET

Conan Tells Terry Crews How Serious Kevin Hart Is About Fitness… Like Crews Ain’t A Beast (Video)
Okay, this ‘What The Fit’ looks hilarious! Or could it be Terry Crews? But see, I bet Conan O’Brien is funny on his episode, too. Know what? Just count that series as another win for Kevin Hart’s LOL Network. Okay, back to the interview…
CONAN Highlight: On Kevin Hart’s new show “What The Fit,” Kevin tried to convince Terry Crews that his smaller size made him a superior athlete.

President Trump Wants To Create A U.S. “Space Force†(Video)
President Trump addresses Marines in California:

Nope. Not a joke. Yep. The President of the United States said this. Now, I am not one to clown far-out ideas. And this idea the President kind of ‘stumbled upon’ is not really all that far out. Of course, he might have a wee bit more credibility if he still had the mega-billionaire futurist Elon Musk at his side. You know, the guy who is actually putting his own money and rep on deep space travel (e.g. the SpaceX mission to Mars).
But um… they part ways a good while ago (more here).

Comedy: Sterling K. Brown Hosts ‘Saturday Night Live’ (Video)
Got a little ’emotional’ here, but there will be tears anyway… from all the laughing!
Sterling K. Brown has gotten critical acclaim and fame from his recent work in NBC’s “This Is Us” and was even in Marvel’s box office smash “Black Panther.” Serious stuff, to be certain. But this ‘work’ on SNL shows him really having fun with it all… and gives us more chunks of entertainment from the hilarity that ensues.
Funny stuff, to be certain! Start with the opening monologue above, and be sure to hit the jump to keep chuckling.
“Freestylin’ With The Roots” With Bruce Willis (Video)
Haaa! Now THAT’S how you show up to promote a movie (“Death Wish”)! Of course, Jimmy got him to the couch to talk about it later. But check out the ‘surprise’ audience participation by Bruce and the resulting song The Roots created on the spot with Willis’ input before that happens.
Denzel Washington Paid For Chadwick Boseman To Study At Oxford (Video)
Hey yo, King T’Challa, some dude named Denzel is outside and he says you know him… and owe him… for that tuition, sire. Haa!
Very awesome story. If paying it forward is in your nature, you end up blessing others in ways you cannot imagine. Denzel Washington has always blessed us with proper representation and performances that make us proud. Looks like he played a part in leveling up Chadwick Boseman to do that. It follows that the blessings will continue.
Chadwick Boseman reveals how he wound up studying acting at the University of Oxford thanks to Denzel Washington’s generosity and discusses the importance of the political conversations inspired by the Black Panther film.

“The Trayvon Martin Story” Documentary Series Coming To Paramount Network (Trailer)
They say that time heals all wounds. It does not.
Whoa. That’s a quote to frame, esp. for this case.
Paramount Network has teamed up with executive producer Shawn Carter for a landmark television event, “Rest In Power: The Trayvon Martin Story,†based on the life and legacy of Trayvon Martin. The six-part non-scripted documentary series will be the definitive look at one of the most talked-about and controversial events in the last decade that spurred the impactful worldwide “Black Lives Matter†movement. “Rest In Power: The Trayvon Martin Story,†premieres in July on Paramount Network.
#ParamountNetwork #RestinPower #TrayvonMartin
And yeah. The exec producer is that Shawn Carter.
LeBron James’ On-Court Moves Still Mystify (Video)
Unbelievable… until you see it… then we are forced to believe in the impossible! Sorry… nearly impossible! And the commentary on the moment was epic:
It goes through Thompson’s legs. It goes through THOMPSON’S legs!!
Even seasoned vets were amazed at the move King James made.

Chadwick Boseman Surprises “Black Panther” Fans (Video)
That sly Jimmy Fallon. He’s done this before: Put unsuspecting admirers in a room and have them speak to the person they admire as if that person were there… then all of a sudden, the celebrity appears…
But this clip of that setup feels different. Chadwick Boseman is still probably getting his head around how important the part he plays is; as well as how it was portrayed. By now, though, his heart ought to ‘get it.’
