The Carmichael Show is like a modern Norman Lear sitcom |

Norman Lear has created some of them best sitcoms to ever grace our televisions, and up until now no one else has created a comedy as brilliant as his. Tonight at 9p on NBC, The Carmichael Show comes very close to that. The Carmichael Show is loosely based on Jerrod Carmichael’s life and his family from North Carolina.
Jerrod recently moved in with his girlfriend Maxine (Amber Stevens West) and he is afraid to tell his overbearing religious mother (Loretta Divine) that they live together. He knows his Democratic mother will never approve of it, and his dad (David Alan Grier) will just go along with whatever his wife says. To give you a hint how tough Cynthia (Devine) is, Jerrod’s brother Bobby (Lil Rel Howery) has yet to tell his parents that he got divorced from his wife Nekeisha (Tiffany Haddish) 3 months ago. Even though Jerrod does not want to tell his parents, Maxine is insistent that they do. Jerrod will do everything in his power to stop Maxine from breaking the news to his mom, even telling her that he is thinking of registering as a Republican. That revelation leads to whole bunch of very funny can of worms being opened up, and several political discussions being had.
Then at 9:30p The Carmichael Show takes on an unarmed African American teen being shot by a cop and protesting and rioting erupts from it. Maxine convinces Cynthia to protest with her and one of them gets arrested after being left behind when the police show up. How will the Carmichael men handle the situation?
What I love so much about The Carmichael Show, is not only the hilarious humor, it is one of the rare political comedies that gives you both sides of the case. Something Lear perfected and inspired this show. It’s like a modern All in the Family, with the women on the show being like the men that were on Lear’s shows.
The Carmichael Show is one of the best comedies of this and next season and I really hope that NBC picks it up for at least another one. It’s the type of show that gets you talking once you are done laughing your butt off! And with how crazy this Presidential election is turning out to be, we need a show like this one.
UPDATE: Jerrod Carmichael Tweeted this touching thank you to all the people who checked out The Carmichael Show tonight.

John Stamos wants you to know his milkshake is delicious |

Is there anything that John Stamos can’t do? He can act, sing, play the drums, get women to drop their pants and today we found out he can tap too. The star of Grandfathered shared a video of himself tapping to a recorded track of him singing about how his milkshake is delicious and now I desperately need a milkshake. So much so, I can feel myself sucking on a straw waiting for that milky substance to fill my mouth. Yummy!

Anne Hathaway wears Givenchy |

Anne Hathaway might’ve starred in a few comedies, but that doesn’t mean she is funny without writers writing stuff for her. Today, she posted a photo of herself wearing a Givenchy bag on her head and said, “Dear @givenchyofficial, Your stunning reinterpretation of ‘the hat’ is both revolutionary and awe inspiring. And so roomy! I shall wear mine with pride. Yours in trend-settingness, Annie”
She needs to stick to letting people make her funny, although we all know that didn’t work when she hosted the Oscars. This picture is almost as humorous as when she hosted the Academy Awards, as in not humorous at all.

Ed Sheeran was lion to us! |

Remember 2 weeks ago when Ed Sheeran posted a photograph of himself with a large lion tattoo on his chest, well the singer was lying to us. His chest is still bare. In fact, his chest hair is growing back and you know that has to be itchy as hell. So he is suffering for his art and we are getting justice.
UPDATE: Seems Ed Sheeran was lion to us again. The tat is still, it was just covered in makeup for a television appearance.

The McWhopper needs to happen! |

September 21st is Peace One Day and Burger King wants to make peace with McDonald’s for the day with the McWhopper. The bottom half will be the Whopper, the top is the Big Mac and I am drooing already. So McDonald’s accept this proposal because I must have this.
Granted, I could just go to McDonald’s and Burger King, buy a Big Mac and a Whopper and make one myself. But it won’t be the same or will it? I will let you know later today.
UPDATE: McDonald’s responded to Burger King and there is reason why their sales are declining. They suck and don’t get what a brilliant idea BK had with their appeal. If they did, they would’ve understood that this would’ve been great publicity for both fast food joints.
Dear Burger King,
Inspiration for a good cause… great idea.
We love the intention but think our two brands could do something bigger to make a difference.
We commit to raise awareness worldwide, perhaps you’ll join us in a meaningful global effort?
And every day, let’s acknowledge that between us there is simply a friendly business competition and certainly not the unequaled circumstances of the real pain and suffering of war.
We’ll be in touch.
-Steve, McDonald’s CEO
P.S. A simple phone call will do next time.
