It will be on Wednesday night. This is a trial balloon for Summer burn off for NBC. If it succeeds the trial balloon, it will continue through a determined date.
The Carmichael Show is one of the many Black sitcoms to make a presence.
black-ish is the only sitcom on the majors that features a majority Black cast.
Empire is the only drama that features a majority Black cast.
black-ish is a smash comedy featuring Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and Laurence Fishburne. ABC put that in the follow up to Modern Family. It was go for second season.

Are you going to watch these shows?
Send your feedback to me and S. Baldwin.
In the meantime, I will catch The Carmichael Show on Wednesday nights.
Tracy Morgan returns. This is the memorable scene of Cop Out. Tracy and Bruce Willis were featured in this movie.
A year since the incident that nearly killed famed comedian Tracy Morgan, he announces a return to his old stomping ground.
Tracy will be the host of SNL this coming season. A triumphant return.
He still recovering from physical and brain injuries. He will have to learn how to walk again and regain his motor skills. But all that said, he is determined to bring the funny back to his fans.
On the New Jersey Turnpike, a driver from Walmart crashed into the limousine carrying Tracy and three of his friends. The driver, Kevin Roper of Georgia was charged with vehicular homcide (via manslaughter) in the death of James "Jimmy Mack" McNair. He also injured three others in the vehicle.
Roper who was on 28 hours of ride time was not paying attention to a construction slow down. His driving time was supposed to be less than 15 hours on the road.
Walmart settled with undisclosed amounts to keep the negative publicity off them.
Matter of fact, Walmart immediately fired Roper out the cannon. They told him that he owes them for the damaged truck and stock that was loss in the accident.
Roper is innocent until proven guilty. If he's charged in vehicular homicide (via manslaughter), he could land him 40 years in the iron college.
World News Today wishes Tracy a speedy recovery. We hope the best for him and his family.
The end of the road for Jon Stewart. The Daily Show finished second to the Republican debate.
Thanks to Jon Stewart for 16 great years hosting The Daily Show on Comedy Central.
He ends his bid as the host of the political satire show. I mean the left is so disappointed he didn't want to stay through the 2016 U.S. Presidential Elections. Especially with Donald Trump running.
Trevor Noah will take the helm in late September. He will bring his A game to an already skeptical audience.
But as with the Stephen Colbert departure, it's going to be hard to accept but we'll move forward.
John Oliver went to host Last Week Tonight on HBO. He made an appearance.
Wyatt Cenac, Samantha Bee, Steve Carell, Jessica Williams, Jason Jones, Kristen Schaal, Larry Wilmore, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Che, Mo Rocca and Craig Kilborn made appearances on the show.
The best of the show was the appearance of Stephen Colbert. Colbert ended the Colbert Report this year to join CBS as the host of The Late Show. He got a big spot to fill now that David Letterman retired. Same standard. Colbert will bring his A game to an audience used to see Dave run the show.
His departure came around the Republican debate. Stewart would have found a whole lot of zen in this debate. Especially with the hosts of that network he called Bullshit Mountain.
Chief Roger said in a parting shot that Jon's efforts didn't stop his network. Matter of fact, Roger said that his impact helped bring more to the network.
Don't worry too much, I am guessing that Jon will turn up somewhere. Don't think retirement is the end of a career.
Drake served Meek Mill with a side order of fries.
With the passing of WWE legend Rowdy Roddy Piper, the wrestling empire shares it condolences to the veteran of the ring.
One thing that's never forgotten: All feuds always were met in the ring!
If this was a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, the winner would have been........!
Damn, Drizzy! I didn't think you do him like that!
The 6 God destroyed every aspect of Meek Mill. Matter of fact, everyone was expecting the Philly rapper to respond back with a hard hitting response.
Damn, Drake destroyed Meek's gangsta!
Nope. It fell flat. Now everyone and anyone is embarrassed to be around him.
So I want to tell you that Meek Millie clammed up on the social media. He's been off the social media for over five days now.
They clowned on him. Even some big corporations went to social media to mock Meek.
WWE is considering putting a dent in his finances. He used the theme from The Undertaker in his Wanna Know diss. The song was sampled without permission.
I think he may have violated his court order. In 2013, Meek was forced to take etiquette classes after a judge slapped him with a hefty fine and probation. He was served with firearm and dope charges.
He must notify his P.O. whenever he continues his tour with Nicki Minaj.
There's talk that the feud has gotten on Nicki's nerves. There's reports of them splitting up.
Now here comes the most funniest responses on Twitter from fans, athletes and corporations.
This Meek Mill clowning has been great for Burger King, White Castle, Hamburger Helper, Whataburger and even etiquette company Rosetta Stone. They actually making $$$$$$$ off it.
Having a bad day? Remember that you aren't Meek Mill
Last year, famed comedian Tracy Morgan was on the Turnpike in New Jersey in his tour van. It was a dark night and traffic was light. There was construction on the turnpike and the van slows down.
All of sudden, this semi-truck slams right into the van. It crushes the van like a tin can. In the vehicle was Tracy, his manager, his mentor James McNair and bodyguard.
Bad wreck left Tracy Morgan hurt badly.
While his manager and bodyguard escape severe injuries, Tracy was hurt badly. He suffered a broken leg, broken ribs, a broken nose, and brain swelling. It traumatized him. He's slowly regaining his walking but is forever ruined by this experience.
So today in federal court, Morgan brought the truck driver's employer to court. The company that employed the driver is the world's largest retail store. Yup, Walmart.
Kevin Roper mugshot in county lockup.
Walmart reached a settlement with Morgan after last year's deadly crash.
The driver Kevin Roper was fired out the cannon. He got served with vehicular homicide and failure to control. He's awaiting trial. If found guilty, Roper gets 30 in the iron college.
Walmart CEO Greg Foran also released a statement today to offer his sympathies to everyone involved in the accident. “While we know there is nothing that can change what happened, Walmart has been committed to doing what’s right,” he sad. “We are pleased to have reached an amicable settlement that ends this litigation. We are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved.”
Of course, Foran had a lot of sympathies to give. This two employees were shot by a crazed gunman. Marcell Willis, a U.S. Air Force officer went into in a Grand Forks Walmart and opened fire on two workers. He didn't know them or had any issue with them.. One worker was killed in this another is fighting for life.
World News Today send our prayers to Tracy Morgan. We also send our condolences to James McNair, Gregory Weiland and Lisa Braun. These were the victims in the Grand Forks Walmart shooting.
The right complains about Comedy Central's Trevor Noah. He was chosen to be the new host of The Daily Show. Jon Stewart is leaving the show after 16 years hosting it.
Moments after Comedy Central announced Trevor Noah as the new host of The Daily Show, many on the racist right and the irrational left are calling the comedian/actor an anti-Semite and racist.
For what reason?
Because he tweets some jokes that some agitators never got. The agitators zeroed in on jokes that were posted to Noah's 2 million followers on Twitter. Some pointed out a few offensive jokes about women, Israel and the Jews. Some criticized his stance on America.
Comedy Central is standing by Noah.
I mean the social media is catnip to agitators and the business community. Many people are often scrutinized for their online behavior. It's unfortunate that the social media can make or break someone.
Noah is a South African comedian who joined The Daily Show late last year. He was the international correspondent. Many conservatives zeroed in on his routine when he discussed the "Spot The Africa". They claim that the joke was comparing the U.S. to the South African apartheid.
Noah, remarked the "Hands Up Don't Shoot" meme that conservatives are roundly denouncing.
When he was chosen as the new host, the media started to vet him.
Soon the agitators from Newsbusters, The Daily Nothing, and the conservative Craigslist have put his face on their pages. Of course, their readers and followers have often remarked about it in the "nicest" way.
The word vomit from conservatives is predictable. Insert a racial slur, a racial stereotype, claim liberal this, Obama that. Add a ton of condescending remarks about comedians and Hollywood. Throw in mentions of Africa, Muslims, Netanyahu and the Islamic State and sure enough, we a party going on right there in the comment section.
Noah will do fine. Fuck the haters.
If they don't understand the comedy, that's their problem. But if you're a comedian who talks about issues and spin it into comedy, you're going to be provocative and it's going to be truthful.
I mean if you criticize Israel, should you be labeled an anti-Semite for it?
Comedian Trevor Noah is the new host for The Daily Show.
Jon Stewart is stepping down from The Daily Show later this year. Who's to replace him?
One who just joined the Comedy Central program is already getting major buzz as the predecessor.
Trevor Noah is getting some major buzz. The South African actor/comedian joined The Daily Show and took off.
Noah had a major role on the South African soap opera, Isidingo in 2002, when he was 18. He then began hosting his own radio show Noah’s Ark on Gauteng’s leading youth radio station, YFM. Noah then went on to host an educational program Run The Adventure from 2004–06 on SABC 2. In 2007 he hosted The Real Goboza, a gossip show on SABC 1, and Siyadlala a SABC's sports show. In 2008 Noah co-hosted alongside Pabi Moloi on The Amazing Date (dating game-show) and was a Strictly Come Dancing (celebrity dance competition) contestant in Season 4. In 2009 he hosted the 3rd Annual South Africa Film and Television Awards (SAFTA Awards) and co-hosted alongside Eugene Khoza on The Axe Sweet Life (reality competition series) at the 15th annual South African Music Awards. In 2010 Noah hosted the 16th annual South African Music Awards and also hosted Tonight with Trevor Noah on MNet (in the second season it moved to DStv's Mzansi Magic Channel).
In 2010, Noah also became a spokesperson and consumer protection agent for Cell C, South Africa's third largest cellular provider.
Noah dropped his radio show and acting to focus on comedy, and has performed with South African comedians such as Riaad Moosa, Darren Simpson, Marc Lottering, Barry Hilton and Nik Rabinowitz, international comedians such as Paul Rodriguez, Carl Barron, Dan Ilic and Paul Zerdin, and as the opening act for Gabriel Iglesias in November 2007 and Canadian comedian Russell Peters on his South African tour.
Noah has performed all over South Africa in The Blacks Only Comedy Show, Heavyweight Comedy Jam, the Vodacom Campus Comedy Tour, the Cape Town International Comedy Festival, the Jozi Comedy Festival, and Bafunny Bafunny (2010).
His stand-up comedy specials in South Africa include The Daywalker (2009), Crazy Normal (2011), That's Racist (2012), and It's My Culture (2013).
Noah became the first South African stand-up comedian to appear on The Tonight Show and became the first to appear on Late Show with David Letterman.
He's in the running. With Larry Wilmore running The Nightly Report, Jason Jones and his wife Samantha Bee leaving, Michael Che joining SNL, Jessica Jones out ruling hosting duties, Stephen Colbert jumping to CBS and John Oliver moving to HBO, we can't determine who's going to replace an icon of comedy, politics and sanity.
Everyone is speculating that Comedy Central may appoint an insider. The outsider speculation includes: Tiny Fey, John Fugelsang, and Patton Oswalt being named as potential picks.
But all eyes are on Trevor and the media is buzzing about him.
Confirmed.
Trevor is the new host of The Daily Show. Comedy Central broke the news today.
President Barack Obama went to Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about issues in America and also apologize to Kimmel for skipping an appearance last year.
The president goes to Jimmy Kimmel Live to read off the "Mean Tweets", a regular feature on his show. The president reads some select tweets from his most harshest critics.
I didn't get an opportunity to watch the president on Kimmel but I heard it was hilarious.
Of course, the conservative agitators aren't going to like it. They find it beneath the office of the presidency for Barack Obama to go on comedy shows.
President Barack Obama is going to outlets that appeal to younger viewers. He's gotten tired of the cable news agitators. He turns to the social media and comedy programs to push his final two years.
I bet the outrage meter is off the hook for the racist right.
Here's the video of Obama reading "Mean Tweets".
He gotten serious about the issues in Ferguson, the Republicans writing that letter to Iran, and the next two years.
Heavy speculation that comedienne Jessica Williams will replace Jon Stewart of The Daily Show. She shot this notion down. But why are the rumors still around?
Heavy speculation in replacement of Jon Stewart focuses on freshman member Jessica Williams.
Rumors are swirling that she's a frontrunner to being the new host of The Daily Show when Stewart retires from it.
She was hired in 2012 and really lit the place.
See what happen was this cult comedy Hot Tub Time Machine 2 displayed Williams as the new host of The Daily Show fueling heavy speculations that she will end up being the replacement for Stewart.
Comedy Central and MTV Networks are tight lipped on the replacement.
Williams took the the social media to say she's not in the race.
Fact 1: I'm not hosting. Thank you but I am extremely under-qualified for the job!
— Jessica R. Williams (@msjwilly) February 16, 2015
At this age (25) if something happens politically that I don't agree with, I need to go to my room & like not come out for, like, 7 days.
— Jessica R. Williams (@msjwilly) February 16, 2015
The talk is that Jon Stewart is retiring from The Daily Show. That got the left all in a tight. They really need the Loserville bashing and Republican trashing. The clown car will be entertaining and without Stewart making them look even more nuttier than there usually are.
With Stephen Colbert taking to CBS, John Oliver to HBO, who's going to be the next host?
The news breaking is that Comedy Central's Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show, a series that he's been hosting since 1999.
Stewart who has been a fixture among the faithful watchers is resigning at the end of the year. The Comedy Central president released a statement:
“For the better part of the last two decades, I have had the incredible honor and privilege of working with Jon Stewart. His comedic brilliance is second to none. Jon has been at the heart of Comedy Central, championing and nurturing the best talent in the industry, in front of and behind the camera. Through his unique voice and vision, ‘The Daily Show’ has become a cultural touchstone for millions of fans and an unparalleled platform for political comedy that will endure for years to come. Jon will remain at the helm of ‘The Daily Show’ until later this year. He is a comic genius, generous with his time and talent, and will always be a part of the Comedy Central family,” Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless.
No replacement has been announced for Stewart.
This comes fresh after hearing that Stephen Colbert announced his departure for The Late Show on CBS. Writer and director Larry Wilmore teamed up Stewart to create The Nightly Show.
Sony sets the cast and rolls the dice on a reboot.
It's a go...
Sony Pictures announced there's going to be a reboot to The Ghostbusters and its going to have an all female cast.
Melissa McCarthy is the most sought after actress/comedienne. She is going to be cast for the role.
Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon will officially star in an all-lady reboot of supernatural comedy.
It's been a little over 30 years since the Ghostbusters movie. It featured Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver. It also featured Rick Moranis and Ernie Hudson.
The movie was a hit. It generated over $300 million in ticket sales and launched the two animated television shows, video games and a sequel. The movie is considered culturally significant.
Ramis had passed away last year leaving the third sequel scrapped. Murray had expressed no interest in it and Moranis semi-retired from acting. The third sequel was dead in the water.
Paul Feig decided to take the franchise into a new direction. He sought after a few famed actresses and approached them for the gig. The four mention were suitable enough for this to move forward.
Feig was the director of the mega smash movie Bridesmaids. That helped McCarthy score a gig on CBS with the comedy sitcom Mike & Molly. That also propelled her and Wiig into becoming America's most funniest women.
Famed comedian Kenan Thompson could be heading for the exit at 30 Rock.
The comedian who often did impressions of Rev. Perm, Steve Harvey, Oprah, Miss Cleo, and numerous other celebrities will be coming back for the 40th season of the famed Saturday Night Live. However this will probably be his last season on the famed sketch comedy.
In his teenage years, he was an original cast member of Nickelodeon's sketch comedy series All That. Thompson is also known for his roles in the sitcom Kenan & Kel and the films Good Burger and Fat Albert. In his early career he often collaborated with fellow comedian and All That cast member Kel Mitchell. He ranked at #88 on VH1's 100 Greatest Teen Stars.
Thompson was a featured player until 2005 (spanning the 29th and 30th seasons), and was promoted to repertory player at the beginning of season 31 (the 2005-2006 season).
Thompson acting like Raven-Symone.
Thompson has been a cast member on SNL for eleven seasons, breaking the record for the longest serving African-American cast member previously held by Tim Meadows, who stayed on the show for ten seasons. Thompson is now the senior cast member on the show, after Fred Armisen and Seth Meyers left the show. He is also the third-oldest current cast member after Michael Patrick O'Brien (born 1976) and Bobby Moynihan (born 1977).
Thompson also holds the record for most celebrity impressions performed on the show, performing 108, beating Darrell Hammond's previous record of 107.
TMZ wrote that Thompson was set to leave the show before Season 41, to focus on other projects.
Lorne Michaels urged Thompson to stay for the remaining season.
Jay Pharaoh and Thompson both criticized NBC and Michaels for the show lacking Black female comedians.
SNL hired comedienne Sasheer Zamata to calm the criticism. She comes after a six year hiatus since the departure of Maya Rudolph.
Michael Che is leaving The Daily Show after being a correspondent for less than year to take over as head anchor for Weekend Update.
Famed announcer Don Pardo died last month before the taping of new episodes. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Don Pardo.
Kenan is a funny guy. We at Journal de la Reyna wish Kenan the best on his career post SNL.
Black Jeopardy skit with Louis C.K., Jay Pharoah, Sasheer Zamata and Kenan Thompson.
Celebrity agitator calls Michelle Obama a tranny! But seriously, does this agitator look like one?
The face lift pulls and the jokes are just like her, old.
Is she a washed up celebrity or just an annoying celebrity agitator?
Who knows but Joan Rivers at age 81 still acts a fool whenever they put a camera on her ass!
In the CNN interview which is getting a reasonable amount of play, Fredricka Whitfield keeps a smile on her face when this obnoxious celebrity whore continues to play out her book "Diary of A Mad Diva".
When she was interviewed by the paparazzi she was asked about the potential presidential run by Hillary Clinton and a future gay president.
Celebrity agitator known for her controversial remarks joked that Obama was gay and Michelle was a tranny!
The comedian known for her lack of self-censoring recently officiated a same-sex wedding and was asked by a photographer if she believed the United States would ever see the first gay or female president. Her response was typical Rivers.
"We already have it with Obama, so let's just calm down," she said. "You know Michelle (Obama) is a trans."
When asked to further explain Rivers said, "A transgender. We all know it."
For one thing, Michelle Obama is not a transsexual. Has Joan Rivers looked in a mirror and see how she looks nowadays?
Oh, I read an anonymous comment from some nobody saying that W. (George W. Bush) gets attacked by Hollywood. Of course, he was the butt of comedians. President Barack Obama is kind of difficult but not impossible. Comedians go after the president. Dinesh D'Souza made another movie that conservative agitators are promoting on Loserville and talk radio.
Joan Rivers looks like a tranny! How many face lifts has that woman and her daughter had?
81 years old and still trying to look like a young woman. I wonder if you pull the string off her face, it would drop down!
No disrespect to the LGBT community but if you consider Joan Rivers a friend of yours, then you may need to consider an amicable split.
Anyway here's the videos of Rivers acting a fool!
And since this also went viral, the racist right went forth with their praise of the comedian.
New Girl on Fox features Zoey Deschenel, Max Greenfield, Jake Johnson, Lamorne Morris and Hannah Simone. Actor/comedian Damon Wayans, Jr. returns to the show.
Before ABC canceled the hit comedy Happy Endings actor/comedian Damon Wayans, Jr. was a main star on that sitcom. When ABC decided to burn out the remaining episodes of Happy Endings, they've greenlighted Wayans for the role of Coach for the Fox sitcom New Girl.
Due to the obligations of Happy Endings, he couldn't finish the role. So they hired on Lamorne Morris to be Coach's friend who moves in. During the three seasons, we seen a young socially inept woman and her three male roommates go through the trials and tribulations of life.
Jessica "Jess" Day (Zooey Deschanel) is a bubbly young woman who teaches at a Los Angeles middle school. Jess begins looking for a new place to live after breaking up with her boyfriend. She answers an ad for a new roommate on Craigslist, and moves in with three young men: Nick, Schmidt, and Coach. After the pilot episode, Winston, who had previously lived in the apartment with Nick and Schmidt, replaces Coach. Cece, Jessica's childhood best friend and a fashion model, also appears in various episodes in the storyline.
The show would feature a blossoming relationship between Jess and Nick (Jake Johnson). It would also be a storyline between Schmidt (Max Greenfield) and Cece (Hannah Simone).
With the return of Wayans, would we see the show spin into another direction?
So far, I've been watching the series for some time now. It's a critically acclaimed sitcom. New Girl is a main feature on Tuesday nights at 9pm on Fox. It's a mildly raunchy show and each episode is typical of a buddy sitcom.
Somewhere in this show there's moral in each episode.
Damon Wayans, Jr. is a stand-up comedian, most widely known for starring as Brad Williams in the ABC comedy series Happy Endings and recurring as Coach in the Fox comedy series New Girl. He is the oldest son of actor-comedian Damon Wayans and nephew of Keenan Ivory Wayans, Kim Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans.
