The bees will not DARE sting Morgan Freeman. He’s feeding them that good sugar water!
Plus, the ‘buzz’ is (groan) that people treat him like a god. Ha! Honey bees want Morgan Freeman on their side for certain. Cool dude. They will get to know that about him… and he does not take himself too seriously. I remember folks making a big thing of him falling asleep during a movie promo interview (we posted that on here).

James Corden Welcomes Céline Dion To ‘Carpool Karaoke’ (Video)
May 24, 2019
I have to believe Céline Dion has the most fun spirit, I mean that “Ashes” video she did for “Deadpool 2” alone, right? But that is also a beautiful song, like most all her work.
Well, put the fabulous, fun, uber-talent in a ‘Carpool Karaoke’ why dont’cha, James. I am here for it!
James Corden heads to Las Vegas for a Carpool Karaoke made for CBS primetime and calls on Céline Dion to help him get through town. In addition to singing her classics, Céline proves she has a song for any moment, James teaches Céline “Baby Shark” and the two give away pairs of Céline’s precious shoes. And stay for a Titanic-sized end to their afternoon together.

Proper combo of silliness and superb lyricism. The wordsmithing and witticism from Phonte and Open Mike Eagle come through on this. Good look for Comedy Central and for Hip-Hop!

LeBron James & Lonzo Ball Speak Their Minds On Magic Johnson’s Departure From The Lakers Organization (Video)
May 9, 2019
Enjoy catching ‘The Shop: Uninterrupted’ on HBO when time allows. Good chit-chat based on the barbershop paradigm. Nothing off limits. Of course, LeBron and Lonzo are certainly too smart to risk multi-million dollar paychecks with controversial public reactions, but they are pretty candid in the clip above where they discuss how they found out about Magic Johnson leaving the Los Angeles Lakers.
Lebron came to the Lakers after talking with Magic. Think he might find a way to walk away now that Magic is? Well, hit the jump.
Watch The Full ‘In Living Color’ 25 Year Reunion Live Stream (Video)
May 2, 2019
Score for Comedy Hype! Would have been great to be there with the comedic greats. There was NOTHING that could touch these folks’ show when they were really on. Even if they called it a ‘Black SNL.’
Keenen Ivory Wayans, Kim Wayans, Shawn Wayans, David Alan Grier, and Tommy Davidson sit down to discuss “In Living Color’s” legacy at 2019 Tribeca Film Festival.
Enjoyed “Hollywood Shuffle” back in the day. Now I gotta go find a copy of that “Partners In Crime” followup to watch.

May 1, 2019
Good title on the YouTube clip, ‘Joe Biden Is Making Donald Trump Nervous.’ Plus, this is hilarious for several other reasons. Welcome to Campaign 2020, Uncle Joe!
Joe Biden kicked off his 2020 campaign with a rally on Monday. And Donald Trump was watching.

President Trump might need to keep worrying about ‘Sleepy Joe.’ He is ‘woke’ and ready for the fight!

Tracy Pollan & Michael J. Fox Speak On The Real Secret To A Lasting Relationship (Video)
April 30, 2019
You know how you really lean in when an OG is dropping knowledge on something important, like relationship advice. Well… this is that! “Keep the sex dirty and the fights clean” is so simple and crystal clear as the right thing to do. Why have I not heard it put like that before?
Tracy Pollan and Michael J. Fox share success secrets to making their 30-year marriage work.

No Words Are Necessary When Robert De Niro Is Your Guest. But He’ll Say A Few… (Video)
April 26, 2019
Standing O for De Niro! Not one butt in a seat when he came out. Respect due and paid in full by the audience. They wanted to see and hear from him. I wanted to see what he would say about President Trump. I mean, De Niro did say he wanted to ‘punch Trump in the mouth’ during the campaign… so expect him to be real and raw in this clip above.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Tribeca Film Festival founder Robert De Niro.

Oh. Oh, that part with the ice cream. That was BRILLIANT! Awesome clip.

D. L. Hughley’s Show Starts With Tax Day, Talks About Tiger Woods’ Athletics, And Talks To Russell Peters (Video)
April 18, 2019
Did… did anyone get the ‘Athletics’ thing I was trying to do in the title? Slipping in ‘Russell’ Peters… a tongue-in-cheek reference to Russell Athletics. Anyone?
Okay moving on.
Watch the show. Try to keep your blood pressure low as Fox News dares speak on Nipsey Hussle (no respect, or respek, for the fallen brother), too.

Dear Fox News: Bernie Sanders Did NOT Create Socialism. Don’t Blame Him. Blame… (Video)
April 17, 2019
When it comes to socialism I don’t blame Uncle Bernie. I blame Aunt Becky… You had everything. Why cheat?
Bwaahahaaa! Blame it on yourselves, rich people. Out here ‘Tokyo Drifting’ with your d!cks out. Neal is a certifiable FOOL for this! And he makes some good points.
Fox News may blame Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders for socialism’s increasing popularity, but Neal Brennan thinks it’s clearly due to rich people’s endless greed.

Hawkeye and Ant-Man sitting in a tree… Bwaaaahahaaa!
Jeremy talks about his friendship with Paul Rudd, Hawkeye’s new haircut in Avengers: Endgame, the possibility of him turning into Ronin, the new Hawkeye TV series, his favorite line from the Marvel movies, breaking both of his arms while on the set of Tag, and being an honorary special deputy sheriff in Nevada.

Hey, may as well talk about the bromance. Because Jeremy is not spilling ANY tea on the new ‘Avengers’ movie or anything in the MCU’s future.

Posted the video for the “Deadpool 2” soundtrack single earlier on here. But this seems like a better framing for the epicness of this song. Céline Dion is incredible, and so is this performance of “Ashes.â€
