Journalist Bob Woodward Speaks President Trump’s Relationship With The Media And His Comments On Recent Tragedies (Video)
November 1, 2018
When it comes to having a seat at the table in political discussions, Bob Woodard’s place is saved permanently (see “Watergate,” because we would not have seen it, or President Nixon resigning because of it, without his reporting)! Maybe he is just echoing what is already constantly said about President Trump, but I will ALWAYS lean in when this guy is speaking on something. Perspectives like his are NEEDED in our world today.

Comedians Dave Chappelle And Jon Stewart Speak On The Era Of President Trump And Their Comedy (Video)
November 1, 2018
Two of the most brilliantly funny and thoughtful comedians ever – Dave Chappelle and Jon Stewart – sit down with one of the best news commentators today, Christiane Amanpour. Score for CNN… and for us all.
(And Dave says we should NOT consider this the ‘Trump Era’ as he is not worthy and we don’t deserve that. Point taken. Good one.)

FOX’s New Show, “The Passage” (Trailer)
November 1, 2018
Of course, this triggers me. I’m from Tuskegee, Alabama, where the government carried out the syphilis study (medical research). Sure, this is science fiction, right? No way this could happen in real life. Right. Folks this kind of stuff has happened over and over. My vision ain’t blurry. And that’s not even my third eye seeing… that’s just history… readily available for anyone to read. Just Google “Tuskegee Experiment.”
Bitterness aside, I am still watching this. Fox’s “Gifted” is a good series, and this has a similar feel.

October 31, 2018
You WANT these two at your dance party. You NEED these two at your dance party. Hahahaaa! But hold up: Did Tiff throw in a li’l crumping into that James Brown shuffle at the end?
Jimmy faces off against Tiffany Haddish in an intense lip sync-off to songs like Post Malone’s “Psycho” and James Brown’s “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine.”

Wu-Tang Clan – “Protect Ya Neck” / “C.R.E.A.M.” (Live Performance) [Video]
October 25, 2018
Yooo! I’m mad because NOBODY told me that Kimmel had on the Wu-Tang, WU-TANG, WU-TAAAAANG! And they did the classics LIVE? And who is that doing the ODB (RIP) part of “Protect Ya Neck” though?
(Nope. I’m not going to spoil it. Let me give y’all a hint though…YDB!)
Hit the jump for the “C.R.E.A.M.” performance.

Comedy: Deon Cole Admits To Having To ‘Manage His Blackness’ In Public (Video)
October 25, 2018
Shhhhh… Deon Cole. C’mon son! You telling ’em all the keys to the Culture. Facts though, especially in DC, where even though there are lots of Black folk we cannot always be ‘Black folk’ (yanadameen?). And Deon pointing out that thickness ’round town and in the crowd is 100% factual, too. Bet both pockets that memes like ‘Thicker Than Cold Peanut Butter’ are out there now if not soon, too (haha)!

Regina Hall And Her Love Of “Breastaurants” (Video)
October 23, 2018
Yup. Sound it out, and think about how crazy-sexy-cool Regina is, and you will get it right away.
Regina Hall talks about Support the Girls, why she enjoys dining at “breastaurants” and the requirements of becoming a nun.

Mm mm mm. Speaking of can ‘get it’… Regina. Wowzers!

Comedy: When ‘Cosby’ Is Your Cellmate (Video)
October 22, 2018
Hey, you don’t come in this cell with all the filth and foul. Understand that, and share your Jello with your new cellmate, newbie. This is actually hilarious if you can set aside the real-life challenges of Bill Cosby’s incarceration.
(For the record, that fight is not over… because APPEALS process… just saying.)

Steve Harvey’s Response To An Audience With A Stuttering Problem Is Literally Therapeutic (Video)
October 22, 2018
Respek on Steve Harvey’s name for this. All this. The sista is beautiful. It was just that her situation was ugly. But it looks like that is about to look up for her.
When an audience member asks about dating with a stutter, Steve opens up about his own personal struggle. This may be the most powerful moment yet.
– Steve Harvey TV
I sooo wanted to start this post with just how fine the sista in this is… But I wanted her to be taken seriously (just as she desires, per the clip). Of course, I did slide her into the Noon spot (because she is definitely some Eye Candy).

Trevor Noah Speaks On GOP Voter Suppression & The Mid-Term Elections In Georgia (Video)
October 19, 2018
Yeah, Trevor. Good point: Funny how EVERY time we catch ‘them’ in a move to pass a law to restrict voting, it ALWAYS affects people of color DISPROPORTIONATELY! And by ‘funny’ I don’t mean… well, I am NOT laughing.
Brian Kemp, the Republican candidate for governor of Georgia, has made efforts to hold up 53,000 voter registrations, 70% of which belong to Black voters, all while maintaining his job as Georgia Secretary of State, a role in which he oversees the very election he’s running in. This is some Africa-level s**t.

Did You Watch The 2018 BET Cyphers? Do It Now, And Again, Right Here (Video)
October 18, 2018
A good look for BET: posting these to YouTube without that forced auto-play turned on. Now you can watch them in turn… enjoy, critique, hate on… whatever you do when you watch. Pretty dope overall. Wasn’t hyped in the weeks building up to them this year. Might be a good thing. The heads will check for the Cyphers. The rest who have to be ‘marketed’ to; we don’t need ’em.

Erika Alexander Speaks On Her Road In Life And Her Career So Far And Her Future Outlook For Entertainment And Her People (Video)
October 18, 2018
That title is a mouthful, and I swear it STILL does not begin to address the ground this interview covers. So full DJ Envy couldn’t even stay for the whole thing. Had Erika so ‘full’ talking about it she teared up at one point. And wow, Erika is still so gatdam beautiful… and insightful. Watch and digest. May need to rewind at a couple of points.

Politics: Dave Chappelle Speaks On Kanye West And President Trump (Video)
October 16, 2018
I’m not mad at Kanye. That’s my brother. I love him… I don’t have to agree with everything he says…
– Dave Chappelle
The REALEST talk while still keeping some of the funny in there. We’ve come to expect that from Dave Chappelle. Gotta imagine he has some empathy for an artist who the world has called ‘crazy’ (since he has been there himself).
Comedian Dave Chappelle and Maryland democratic gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous discuss the political divide in the US since President Trump was elected president with CNN’s Van Jones.
– CNN
Great interview clip! Very thoughtful conversation.

Comedy: ‘Kanye West’ Has Some Words… The Best Words… For ‘President Trump’ (Video)
October 15, 2018
Bwaaaaahahaaaa! Got eeem!
Kanye had to know that that public, very public, White House sit-down with President Trump was going to land him smack dab in the middle of a bunch of memes, spoofs, and other forms of Tom Foolery at his expense. And SNL got it IN on him!

Juuuust in case you thought Black Jeopardy was only for guest contestants like T’Challa… Here’s DOUG!

Chrissy Teigen Vs. The World’s Hottest Hot Wings (Video)
October 9, 2018
Started the Hot Wing challenge like an O.G., but how will lovely Chrissy be at the end?
Chrissy Teigen kicks off Hot Ones Season 7 in dramatic fashion, taking one of the most unorthodox approaches we’ve seen yet to the wings of death. As she licks her way through the all-new hot-sauce lineup, the cookbook author, model, and entrepreneur discusses her most memorable Twitter wars, recommends the turkey leg at Medieval Times, and breaks down a no-fail recipe for Thai ribs. Watch the epic meltdown, and check out Chrissy’s new book, Cravings: Hungry for More.
– First We Feast
Wow. I just went back through the clip and found the HOTTEST ‘Hot Ones’ moment ever… at the 8:25 mark, when Chrissy asks Sean… “Can I suck on it?”
From that point on, the ‘challenge’ is very different… for me (whew)!

Trevor Talks French And French Fries With A Couple In The Audience (Video)
October 4, 2018
I’ve known, but never really thought through, how ‘borrowed’ American English is as a language. Trevor broke down a few French phrases we’ve co-opted as part of everyday speech in the states.
Trevor muses on French words, fries and rap with a French couple in the audience.

Another sighting of uber-cute slimmie Zoë Kravitz is on Jimmy Fallon’s show with her dad. Let the game begin! Somehow, I feel like we all win with this clip. Hello, Zoë *wink*
(And shout out to the hometown, since the Kravitz team crushed on their turn guessing “Brick House” by Tuskegee’s own The Commodores!)
