Over the weekend the "I Got A Job Comedy Knockout Tour" took place up at Center Stage. The comedy show was hosted by former A-Team Morning show host "Griff" and featured a number of very funny comedians. The Atlanta show was also a celebration for the birthday of Tommy Ford, who is best known for his role as Tommy on the hit TV Show "Martin". The show also featured "K-Dubb" who is an ATL native and is one of the funniest up and coming comedians in the game. K-Dubb, who had been featured on the Bad Boys of Comedy Tour, had the crowd going crazy with his routine. The show also featured "Rodney Perry" who is one of the hosts of the tv show "Who's got Jokes." Rodney Perry was very energetic & all over the stage and ended his routine with one of the best MC Hammer impersonations I ever seen. Comedian "Pierre" who is also an ATL resident was in the building, but didnt actually perform even though his name was on the ticket. But they saved the best for last.....Tommy Davidson's routine was by far the funniest of all the comedians. I dont think he really even had a routine, it was like he improvised and was just coming up with material. His impersonations were so on point & the range of them was crazy as he imitated everyone imaginable. The "I Got A Job Comedy Knockout" Tour was funny and definetly worth checking out.

It's like that Southwest Airlines commercial where someone does
something so stupid that moments later the announcer says
"Wanna Get Away?"

Well Great Googly Moogly! It appears Justin Timberlake wished he
could have flew away last week after a serious racial gaffe gone
wrong. Justin Timberlake hosted the 16th Annual ESPY awards last
Wednesday in Los Angeles. The show was recorded on a 4-hour tape
delay & it appears it was for good reason because it would have been
the single most talked about incident since "nipple gate" with Janet Jackson.

Although the show actually aired on Sunday, what the folks at home
didn't see on the tube was Justin Timberlake's joke that didn't fly
too well with the audience. Timberlake was making fun of
Paul Pierce about injuring his knee in Game 1 of the NBA finals.
In describing how Paul Pierce was able to quickly come back after
being pushed off in a wheelchair, Timberlake joked that Pierce
was back on the court "shucking & jiving" according to FanNation.com

(Enter crickets & awkward silence)

It goes without question to say that the joke caused quite an
uncomfortable silence. Someone would have to have been
born yesterday to not know that the term "shucking & jiving"
is rooted in racism with the primary intent to be offensive.

Justin's lucky that none of the "brothas" in the audience didn't come
find him after the show & hand him his "D&ck In A Box"
