David Allen Grier’s “Chocolate News” to pick up where “Chappelle’s Show” left off?

Vodpod videos no longer available.

In case you couldn’t tell, Comedy Central is hyping up David Allen Grier’s new comedy show “Chocolate News” to an obscene degree… but will it be good?

From what I’ve seen, I predict it WILL be. Comedy Central has been a little disappointing lately with its original programming (except for the Sarah Silverman Program which I love). The worst decision they ever made was replacing Chappelle’s Show with Mind of Mencia– don’t even get me started on how worthless Mencia is as a comedian– but I think D.A.G.’s new show is Comedy Central’s own way of saying they screwed up and are finally giving us what we want: quality social and political commentary from an experienced and hilarious comedic professional. I don’t think Grier will disappoint. Catch the premiere of his new show “Chocolate News” this Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. on Comedy Central!!

Below is a link to the full audio of an old Loveline radio episode back when it was good and hosted by Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew. David Allen Grier is the guest and this is by far one of the best radio show episodes I have ever heard. Once you listen, you’ll understand why and how D.A.G.’s new show will be hilarious:

P.S.: Did you know that David Allen Grier’s birthday is June 30, 1955– making him 53 years old! It’s been a LONG time since “In Living Color”, people…

Comedian Bernie Mac dead at age 50

CHICAGO (AP) – A publicist says Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor and comedian Bernie Mac has died at age 50.

Publicist Danica Smith says Mac died early Saturday at a hospital in the Chicago area of complications due to pneumonia.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but he had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently had been hospitalized and treated for pneumonia.

Mac had starring roles in “Ocean’s Eleven,””Bad Santa,””Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and “Transformers.”

The comedian drew critical and popular acclaim with his Fox television series “The Bernie Mac Show,” which aired more than 100 episodes from 2001 to 2006.

Politico’s Michael Calderone wonders… Could Jon Stewart be Superman?

“Well, according to today’s Washington Post Style cover he is. And Amy Poehler’s Wonder Woman! The Post dubs them “comedians of clout,” and while we know the kids hang on Stewart’s every word, how do they stack up against the real news people.

Other News vs. Comedy cases pop up on the dial: In its season finale last month, “Saturday Night Live” attracted about 6.5 million viewers. “CBS Evening News” is averaging about 5.7 million viewers nightly. That means that Amy Poehler, the diminutive, perky faux anchor, garners a larger audience to watch her deliver fake news than Katie Couric, the diminutive, perky true-life anchor, does to see her deliver real news.

A similar numbers game plays out on the cable channels. “The Daily Show” drew about 1.8 million viewers recently, as clocked for a Pew study, putting the program on a ratings par with Fox News’s “Hannity and Colmes,” and exceeding such other news-commentary shows as Chris Matthews’s “Hardball” on MSNBC. In comparison, Fox News’s “The O’Reilly Factor” draws about 2.6 million viewers nightly.”
