Chigger, are you getting David Allen Grier's Chocolate News on Comedy Central on your satellite ? Hands down the funniest thing on TV right now, for me, anyway.

I swear my new outlets are now Chocolate News, John Stewart & Colbert.
(I check Drudge for breaking news, and follow his links to whoever is reporting whatever.)

We don't get Comedy Central over here. :(

CNN shows a half-hour or so digest of "The Daily Show" once a week, but that's about it.

(sigh)

I really miss the late night talk shows and the political humor.

(They don't make fun of their politicians over here very often. Which is a crying shame, 'cause some of them are real brain trusts.)

The funniest one (to me) so far was the re-enacting of the Nat Turner Rebellion.
Grier's character is a "Living Historian", wanting to educate and commerate the
important event in Black History. They shoot all the white men and begin to
rape the white women. The reporter covering the story asks Grier about evidence
of these rapes - Grier says Turner kept a secret diary - can we see it ? Hell no,
woman, it's secret.

The white women involved in the re-enactment reveal they joined up because they've
not been satisfied by their husbands. The guy wife is seen throwing things at him as he
leaves for another event "Goan an' fuck them white bitches all you want, Leroy, call it
mutherfuckin History if you want to ! Don't be bringin' yo sorry ass back round here !"

I have not watched Chocolate News yet. I get really turned off by Uncle Tom type shows, and although I have not watched it yet, the ads that I have seen make me think that is an Uncle Tom type show.

not at all. David Allen Grier is funny as all hell.
His "rants" at the beginning of the show are great.

If you aren't paying close attention, he sounds like the "Angry Black Man"
stereotype - but once you realize that his words just don't match up to the
delivery, it's a bit of comedy genius.

He's doing a fantastic job in my ole cracker-assed opinion.
He hits racial stereotypes on the head, in the same way Carlos Mencia
does, except more campy and over the top - Carlos can been serious
and moving with his material - DAG is looking for the MadTV crowd.
