You stick to it, Mr. Eddie Murphy.

Hey, Eddie Murphy! Loved the monologue on SNL. Here's my response to Bill Cosby's publicist who publicly tried to shame you for it: 


Oh, wow. You mean Mr. Bill Cosby's publicist trotted out all the good deeds his client did for "his people" to try to shame Mr. Eddie Murphy's spot-on monologue? You mean that because Ol' Bill was the first of his color to break barriers on TV or win awards somehow means we should not discuss his criminal behavior and how it affected his fans?

I loved Ol' Bill's comedy from the time I was a teenager and heard a record of his. I still say "Bob" and "Everybody out of the gene pool." I loved Fat Albert cartoons and "I Spy" with Robert Culp. And when my children came along, I let them watch the Huxtable family show.

Eddie Murphy spoke for a lot of people who had the same fan experience as me. So, to Cosby's publicist and to Ol' Bill himself, I say,

"Why don't you do like you did to the ladies, Bill. Take a chill pill and Stop. Your. Whining."

Weekend Winner - Melissa McCarthy

by Kim D.

This past weekend, comedienne Melissa McCarthy proved you can be uber political and an environment hack and still be funny.  Saturday Night Live has been tanking in the comedy department for generations but leave it to McCarthy to show up and inject the right antidote to make America laugh again. It doesn't matter where you fall on the political spectrum, this skit mocking Sean Spicer is hilarious, especially the pictorial explanation of the role Steve Bannon holds in the Trump administration.



Following this home run, McCarthy shined in a Kia Super Bowl ad on Sunday as an eco-warrior on a mission to save the planet. From being flung by a whale to being chased by a rhinoceros, she showed you can push a controversial message when you take a light-hearted approach.
