Comedy Central Releases Flavor Flav DVD

Flavor Flav’s reign as a reality show king may have clocked out its course, but the folks at Comedy Central are making sure that the rapper turned reality television phenomenon gets his proper due—at least on DVD.

 

“The Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav” arrives in stores on February 12th and will be available on the comedy network’s online site. Think you’ll good off with just the taped version? Comedy Central made certain to include “extras” on the DVD version including nearly an hour of additional celebrity red carpet interviews, a Flav backstage tour and, oh, plenty of Flav-clock-cam bonus footage.

Tony Rock Has New Show on TV ONE

It was only a matter of time before Tony Rock would get his own show. The actor who’s played Dirk Black on the Will Smith-produced “All of Us” finally has it in the form of TV One’s new original weekly series The Funny Spot hosted by the comedian.

The show is set to showcase talent of up-and-coming comedians, but also has other objectives. Says Rock:

“We’re also doing something a little different by providing viewers with a glimpse of the total comedy experience, not just what they normally see on stage. The backstage moments give viewers an authentic perspective of how comics interact, what challenges we face before going on, and how we feel after appearing on stage.”

The show will premiere on TV One starting tonight from 10-11 PM ET.

Queen Latifah To Host People’s Choice Awards

Dana Owens, better known as Queen Latifah, will be hosting the 34th installment of the People’s Choice Awards. This will mark her second consecutive year as host. Latifah is a good sport, and says she hosts award show, but with one condition:

“As long as people don’t try to make me out to be a comedian. I’m definitely not that. I’m a person with a sense of humor, but there’s a difference. I can’t be in someone else’s lane driving the way they drive, but I go for things I feel I can pull off, and it usually works. They know what they’re getting when they get me.”

The Queen is also up for Best Leading Lady in an Horror Film (for her role as Motormouth in Hairpray) on the awards show which will be televised tonight at 9 P.M. on CBS.  [Source]

Eyebrow Raiser: Patty Labelle was almost an AI judge

 

So, Paula Abdul may not have had a career ressurection? At least if Patty Labelle had accepted the “American Idol” judge role she was offered. The singing legend revealed to Newsweek magazine that she was called upon to be a judge, but turned the producers down because she didn’t want to be the one to smash aspiring singers’ hopes to pieces. Labelle is getting a second chance at reality gold with her own reality show “Clash of the Choirs”.
