On Sunday, former Talk Soup host, Aisha Tyler hosted Hollywood Life Magazine’s 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards. The way Aisha loves to talk, she had to be cracking jokes all night long. No video from the awards, but this is a great excuse to scoop a story from her book Swerve: Reckless Observations of a Postmodern Girl.
This is definitely youthful, reckless inspiration.
Aisha Tyler calls it..
I had a job, when I first got out of college, in an office, with cubicles and low-pile, stain-resistant carpet, and a guy who delivered mail from a little cart with wheels. And it had conference rooms that smelled like cold cuts, because cold cuts would often be left out in those conference rooms after whatever meeting that required cold cuts in order to occur had ended.

You should know JB Smoove from his long days on the stand-up comedy circuit. Most recently JB and Vivica Fox were cast as The Blacks on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. What could have been one scene, turned into a season long adventure. Whether it was Vivica bringing the cake or JB teaching Larry the fine art of ass-kicking, The Blacks kept it raw.
In the new Mean magazine, JB talks politics, his-style - “If I Ruled the World.”
The question.. Would you do whatever it takes to win?

Heading into the Texas and Ohio primaries, Tina Fey made a return to Saturday Night Live to give a pro-Hillary Clinton/’what’s the problem with her?’ monologue: “What bothers me the most is people say that Hillary is a b*tch… Let me tell you something, b*tches get stuff done!”
During the Ohio debate Hillary Clinton referenced another SNL skit, to say she’s been getting all the tough questions during the debates.. “Maybe we should ask Barack if he’s comfortable and needs another pillow.” The following week, Hillary Clinton appeared on SNL - laughing it up with Amy Poehler.

If I ever have the chance to meet Tracy Morgan at some bar in Manhattan, the first question I’ll have for him is, “Were you ever a foot messenger for Archer Services?” When I was in High School that was one of my after hours jobs. Worked right off Wall Street, at the Pearl St. office. Among the cast of characters at this place was a short, dark skinned, dude from the Bronx named Tracy. He always had jokes, and walking down the street, you could count on ‘Tracy’ volunteering to impregnate, eat, sniff, or lick any woman coming his way.
As you know, that’s a Tracy Morgan staple.
I was only there a year and saw this guy off and on because of my school schedule. To this day, I swear ‘Tracy’ and Tracy Morgan are the same guy. Add that Tracy Morgan’s career didn’t start bubbling until the early 90’s on The Uptown Comedy Club and the numbers make sense.

Brooklyn’s own Rasheed Thurmond passed away of a heart attack this week. Who is Rasheed Thurmond? You may have seen him on Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy, Def Comedy Jam, or maybe you’re local and caught his act live at The Apollo.
One thing is for sure, every time Rasheed performed he had the people doing all that LOL and LMDFAO stuff.
