Comedy: The Story Behind Thr33way, The Boy Band (Nick Kroll x Jordan Peele x James Corden) [Video]
I can feel you. I can feel you both.
Bwaaaahahaaa! They stoopit!! I ask again: When has Corden NOT been FUNNY?? And teaming up with Comedy Central staples Nick Kroll and Jordan Peele is a no-brainer to make a gut-buster of a sketch clip. But this. These dudes are dangerously hilarious in this. Like if gunmen came through and threatened, “The next m*therf*cker that laughs is DEAD,” and played this clip… Y’ALL GONE DIE!
(Got serious, right? Know what, play the clip. You will STILL laugh!)
In a time when *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and others dominated the boy band landscape, three mavericks came together to form Thr33way – a boy band that didn’t hide from its sexuality.

Marshawn Lynch Talks To The Press, About His Comeback, In The Most ‘BeastMode’ Way (Video)
As always, @MoneyLynch keepin' it 💯. pic.twitter.com/Tfcyjcgni0

If you saw this, you immediately said or thought: “Okay, BeastMode. Gotcha.” And really understood what he was saying (well enough to ‘translate’ for anyone who did not ‘get it’ right away). Stuff like this is why the press always presses Marshawn Lynch to say something…ANYTHING.

Samuel L. Jackson Acts Out His Film Career With James Corden (Video)
When has Corden not been funny? Now, add Jackson to the comedy mix and you get comedic GOLD! Great trip back through some awesome cinema (lots of ‘gunshots’ in there LOL).
Samuel L. Jackson and James Corden act out snippets from Samuel’s legendary film career, covering everything from “Pulp Fiction” to “Jurassic Park.”

Okay this is HILARIOUS but actually pretty good, too (esp. the remembering and delivering all those lines like that)!

Dr. Dre Says Hearing Snoop Dogg For The First Time Made Him Want To Do A Solo Album (Video)
Okay, so if there is any nod to Snoop’s importance to Hip-Hop history… Dr. Dre got the idea to do a solo album after hearing the Dogg snap on a track. Boom! More real talk like this on “The Defiant Ones” – coming to HBO this July.
Conan’s Wonder Woman Workout With Gal Gadot Leaves Him Feeling A Little Less Manly (Video)
Hahaaa! Conan will leverage his intense Girl Scout training and weak-looking legs in attempting to to get as fit as Gal Gadot did to deliver in her “Wonder Woman” role. Gal trained for six months. Conan will try to get on Gal’s level in 35 minutes.

True to the TBS comedy credo… This clip was ‘very funny!’

Reporter Covering ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Park Ride Could Not Cover His Mouth (Video)
We should not have done this. We should NOT have done this.
– Cory James, Reporter, Action News On ABC 30
Baaahahaaaa! Words you do not want to hear in a human interest piece for the local news. Heck, you don’t wanna be the one saying them while doing the story… on an amusement ride… for Guardians Of The Galaxy. That said, THIS dude’s ride reaction is PRICELESS! Watch. Just watch.

Hey, at least he didn’t cuss. And all things considered, he took those G’s like a G!

Eminem Speaks On Dr. Dre x Jimmy Iovine As ‘The Defiant Ones’ (Trailer)
Getting closer to the July 9th release of this one on HBO. You saw Em on “The Defiant Ones” trailer, so you’d expect him to figure prominently in the film; but what he has to say (here) might surprise you (dope line about the ‘levitator’ and the ‘innovator’). Watch him and others weigh in in poignant, as well as playful snips in the above teaser trailer.
And hey look… some cool content on the project’s Instagram (here).
10 Actors Who Quit The Business (Video)
It happens. Every now and then, you get to thinking about a man or woman who played some memorable role in a movie or TV series… Often you know or find out that they are still around; maybe they moved on to the next thing (like Patrick Stewart, doing Captain Picard going from Star Trek: The Next Generation to the Professor X of the X-Men franchise) or they are still riding the hell out of their lane (Hugh Jackman does other stuff, but he IS Wolverine). But what about those one-and-done actors. Some have left this mortal life (RIP Michael Clarke Duncan from The Green Mile), but others just quit. Why?
For these 10, here’s why. Some are VERY interesting (like the two young’ns from the Star Wars franchise). Watch.

Famous Impersonator Navi Takes On The Role He Was Meant For In ‘Michael Jackson: Searching for Neverland’ (Teaser Trailer)
So Lifetime is gonna do The King Of Pop’s biopic. Interesting. Wonder if it will be more something for the fans, or really go into the never-talk-about parts of the ruler of Neverland.
Based on the best-selling book, Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson In His Final Days, and told through the eyes of Jackson’s trusted bodyguards, Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard. The movie will reveal firsthand the devotion Michael Jackson had to his children, and the hidden drama that took place during the last two years of his life.
– Movie Trailers HD
Seeing that they got the guy who played Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman) on AMC’s The Walking Dead. Looks like some good work by Jackson impersonator Navi in there, too. Looking forward to this movie. Check out the teaser above.
Snoop Dogg – “Trash Bags” (Live Performance)
These guys know how to mix fun and serious business. Jimmy Kimmel and Snoop Dogg doing the damn thing on the tube again; not ‘roasting’ on Comedy Central, rather with Snoop performing “Trash Bags” on Jimmel Kimmel Live.
And the re-THICK-ulous dancing girls on stage made it an extra ‘special’ night on stage. But for something really special, hit the jump (more footage of Snoop’s time with Kimmel).
Ice Cube Reveals That “Last Friday” Is In The Works, Gives James Corden A BIG3-Style Hand Check And More (Video)
Marketing GENIUS! For one, going on the ‘Late Late Show’ rocking the BIG3 tee shirt and ‘demonstrating’ some expected rough stuff from his new basketball league (more on BIG3 here) on host James Corden in this segment… then, THENNNN letting it ‘slip’ that another installment of the beloved ‘Friday’ movie series (“Last Friday,” apparently) is in the works. Plus, Jason Derulo giving big-ups to the OG off top. ‘Today was a good day’ for Oshea J. Setting up for a good year!
Ice Cube and Jason Derulo had a blast on ‘The Late Late Show’ on Tuesday night (May 16), with Cube laying down a hard hand-check on host James Corden and Derulo busting out his best Michael Jackson moves.

Star Trek: Discovery (First Look Series Trailer)
YES!!! Debuting on CBS television, then moving to CBS All Access, the first new Star Trek TV series in 16 years is on the way. Coming this Fall, Star Trek: Discovery! Full disclosure: I am VERY biased in favor of this series for three huge reasons: For one, because Star Trek. Second, there’s my major crush on star Sonequa Martin-Green (whose character went out like a G on AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ a few weeks ago). And then, yooooo, when Michelle Yeoh gives the order to ‘contact Starfleet’ because they have ‘engaged the Klingons’ … I got the same tingles when Captain Piccard (Patrick Stewart) delivered the classic line back in the day (“We have engaged The Borg”).
Before Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise there was Discovery. Now, one of the most iconic and influential global franchises returns to television with Star Trek: Discovery. The CBS All Access Original Series arrives this Fall.
Maaaan, I got two boners. Nerd boner. And, well, it’s almost noon, right?

Black Lightning (First Look Series Trailer)
If you remember the B-rate “Black Vulcan” hero from the old, old Superfriends cartoon that used to come on in, like, the 1970s and 1980s… Don’t worry, this is NOT that. Not much cheese being teased in this DC series trailer. At all! Way to go DC. Looks like you folks are learning what Marvel / Netflix has to teach you about making small screen storytelling. Now, if the TV folks (esp. the producers of The Flash and Arrow) could pass some notes to the DC movie makers. Shot.
In fact, I wil go ahead as say it before you do: This trailer for DC’s newest forthcoming hero series – “Black Lightning” – looks and feels a LOT like some Luke–Cage-meets-Daredevil ‘ish. No shot, just saying.
(Oh, on that shot at DC movies, the first two ‘Superman’ movies were good (RIP Christopher Reeve), Michael Keaton ‘Batman’ vs. Jack Nicholson ‘Joker’ was groundbreaking, and ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy was dope. Respect due. Just that recent ‘Superman vs. Batman’ and ‘Suicide Squad’… at best, on a scale of wack to dope, they score a solid meeeehhh. Solid, but meh).

‘Lester Holt’ Interviews ‘President Donald Trump’ On Saturday Night Live (Video)
Aaaawww DAMN! Hahahaaahahaaa!
President Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin) discusses firing FBI director James Comey in an interview with Lester Holt (Michael Che).
This clip is so chock full of shots, I don’t know where to begin and I almost didn’t want it to end. You know what, no more ‘priming the pump’… Let’s get to this Saturday Night Live ‘Lester Holt vs. President Trump’ sketch!
Charlie Musselwhite & Nas Speak On The Music Of The 1920s And Of Today (Teaser Trailer)
They were rapping about street life and gangsta life…
Nas, Speaking On “On the Road Again†By Memphis Jug Band
A great look for PBS, this episode of “American Epic Sessions” features Charlie Musselwhite (of Memphis Jug Band) and Nas. That line from Greg Nice comes to mind: This is how we take the old to the new. Hear Nas speak on the timelessness and relevance of Musselwhite’s music. And see a bit of the performance of Nas’ cover of “On the Road Againâ€
(Hip-Hop flavor from the 1920s. Cool!)
Shaquille O’Neal Says He Is Running For Sheriff In 2020 (Video)
Heeee’s Shaq The Sheriff… and who will be the dep-u-ty?
(Sing it like, “I Shot The Sheriff,” and it’ll make sense. Maybe.)
This is about bringing people closer together. You know, when I was coming up, people love and respected the police, the deputies. And I want to be the one to bring that back, especially in the community I serve.
– Shaquille O’Neal
Hmmm… Shaq has homes in Florida and Georgia (right here with us in Metro Atlanta). He’s been a deputy (honorary, but still) and even ‘policed’ Kevin Hart on ‘Real House Husbands’… soooo, like, he’s qualified sort of? Go on and watch. You know you are interested!
