DESUS & MERO sit down with Bill Burr to discuss his love of stand-up, how he started in comedy, his last tour talking about his anger issues and his many projects.

The “Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men” Documentary Comes To Showtime This Spring (Trailer)
ShoDocs is a good look for the Wu. A mini-series telling of a story all the heads want to hear – on the history of one of Hip-Hop’s most influential crews ever.
Showtime Documentary Films dives deeper into the music documentary space with Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men, a four-part limited docuseries from filmmaker Sacha Jenkins (BURN MOTHERF*CKER, BURN!) that transcends the music documentary genre by creating a new lane that merges music, socio-cultural commentary and intimate family portrait.

Check Out This Hilarious Teaser For “White Famous” Starring Jay Pharoah (Trailer)
It’s a fair question, and an old question: Why do WE have to ‘cross over’ to White audiences to be successful? I know it’s been the question asked of entertainers since “The Five Heartbeats” movie. And I am willing to bet a fair amount that Jay Pharoah sneaks in an imitation of Chris Rock in this debut season of his new Showtime series… Rock had me cracking the f*** up when he told Kevin Hart he was just ‘Black Famous’ on “Real House Husbands Of Hollywood” (you can’t CLOSE, Kevin, hahaaa)!
SHOWTIME® presents WHITE FAMOUS, the outrageous new Original Comedy Series starring Jay Pharoah. Comedian Floyd Mooney’s career is about to blow up, but he’s not so sure he’s ready for all that. He doesn’t have time for big egos, crazy studio execs and the wild side of fame. Hollywood is full of phonies but Floyd wants to stay true to himself. Can he make it without losing his soul? Don’t miss WHITE FAMOUS, the insanely funny new comedy from Tom Kapinos, executive producer of Californication, and Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx, airing Sunday, October 15th 10PM ET/PT only on SHOWTIME®.

Prison Fighters (Showtime Documentary Trailer)
‘Prisoners turn Muy Thai fighters to fight for their freedom’ definitely reads like a logline for a hit series. We assure you, it is not. Think more like ring announcer Jimmy Lennon shouting, “It’s SHOWTIME!” And you will be much closer to truth.

The SHOWTIME Sports original production examines a fully sanctioned and accredited rehabilitation program called Prison Fight through which convicted criminals can train and compete in fights that lead to early release. Premieres on Friday, Feb. 24 at 8:30PM ET/PT on SHOWTIME.

Tez McClain feat. Scarface – “Showtime” (Prod. By Focus…)
My homie Tez McClain gave me the honor to debut this collaboration with Scarface called “Showtime” a number of months ago on The Beatz & Lyrics Show with Jayforce. We didn’t get the go ahead at the time to post the song up on this site until everything behind-the-scenes was cleared properly, but now the day has come where we can let the world hear this banger drop free. When you have “Tez McClain”, “Scarface” & “Focus…” supplying the production you just know it was going to be nothing short of greatness. Be on the lookout for the southside Atlanta representer’s next project “Free Lunch: My Last Tape” in the very near future. Now press play…. it’s Showtime!

NFL All-Time Great Lawrence Taylor Profiled in “The Life & Times†(Documentary Trailer)
Drugs, sex, controversy… Probably traits of a life story that should be made into a movie. Oh, it’s Pro Football Hall Of Famer Lawrence “LT” Taylor’s life? DEFINITELY should have been made into a movie by now! Well, Showtime has done it. One of the most controversial professional athletes in history, over the top drug abuse, and crimes of a sexual nature… yeah, LT’s life will make for a compelling subject for the documentary debuting Friday, September 20, 2013, at 8pm ET/PT.

Comedy: Tommy Davidson Serving ‘Chocolate Sundaes’ (Trailer)
‘What’s Black and White…and 100% hilarious?” ‘Chocolate Sundaes’ sketch comedy… hosted by Tommy Davidson (one of the ‘In Living Color’ core cast members back in the day)! Showtime better do right by this show! That’s all I’m saying. It premiered last night, but will run all month long (according to the trailer above).
The first 10 seconds… I was hooked! Watch.
