… who may have to choke a bitch.
I met Wayne Brady in 2005 while head writer and segment producer on the Tom Joyner syndicated television show. That sounds like I had some sway but the real head writer and power on most TV shows is the Executive Producer. I was as far away from Ep as Trump is from humble.
Even then, Wayne was a big star as evident by his choice of performance for the show. He decided to sing a song. That may not sound like a big deal, but it is. If known for comedy in Hollywood you’re booked to do comedy.
But if you’re a big enough star you can do whatever your little-overblown ego made you think was a good idea. Thank god most big time actors and singers don’t try and do stand up. That seldom ends well the big names realize...

Colin Powell's leaked emails revealed harsh statements about both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, and now the presidential candidates are reacting. The Republican presidential candidate took to his medium of choice, Twitter, to respond to a leaked email that had Powell calling him a "national disgrace" and an "international pariah." "I was never a fan of Colin Powell after his weak understanding of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq = disaster. We can do much better!" he wrote. I was never a fan of Colin Powell after his weak understanding of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq = disaster. We can do much better!

Just as The Tom Joyner Show is firming up its production team, the upcoming syndicated music-variety series has added another major-market clearance. KABC-TV, the ABC O&O in Los Angeles, has cleared the weekly hourlong show for its October launch. The news means the show -- hosted by radio personality Joyner -- has been cleared in 75% of the country. In addition, Ehrich Van Lowe has been named executive producer, Don Weiner has been tapped as director-producer, and Jeffrey Kopp will serve as supervising producer of Tom Joyner, which will include performances by musicians and comedians, comedy sketches and offbeat local-market vignettes.
