'Tonight Show' Battle Proves Late Night TV Is Still A White Men's Club

6 April 2013 12:50 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Los Angeles — The role of female talk show hosts in late-night TV broadcast network history, all 50-plus years of it, can be summed up in two words: Joan Rivers. It takes just another two – Arsenio Hall – to do the same for minorities.

There's no indication that's going to change in the latest round of musical chairs involving "Tonight" and "Late Night." All the NBC, ABC and CBS showcase jobs at 11:30 p.m. Eastern and later appear likely to remain securely in white men's hands.

Jay Leno is handing off to Jimmy Fallon, with speculation tagging Seth Meyers as his likely successor. Meanwhile, David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson and Carson Daly are sitting pretty, without the faintest drumbeat of a pair of advancing high heels to signal a threat.

There have been alternatives bandied about – Chelsea Handler, black comedian-writer Aisha Tyler – but no hints they or others are getting traction. »

Bet Renews The Game, Will Bring Back ComicView

Looks like Bet is keeping with their motto “We Got You” by renewing some of their fan-favorite shows and bringing back some old classics. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bet has renewed the sports soap-opera “The Game” as well as “Let’s Stay Together” and Kevin Hart’s “Real Housewives” spoof “Real Husbands of Hollywood.” The network is also bringing back music video show “106 & Park,” reviving the hugely-popular “ComicView” (which launched the careers of Cedric the Entertainer and D.L. Hughley) and the thing I’ve been waiting on since the end of last year—the return of “Apollo Live,” hosted by Tony Rock. Gospel fans will be glad to know that “Bobby  [ Read More ]

2 April 2013 8:41 AM, PDT | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »

Update: For some reason, the episode was pulled by Alright TV, and replaced with another episode with Tony Rock. It could be that the episode with Malcolm Jamal Warner wasn't supposed to be episode 1.  Here's episode 1 of the new web series Walk This Way, starring Michael K. Williams, which is one of a handful of web-programs from the newly-launched Alright TV - a faith/family-friendly YouTube channel created by Robert Johnson and Tracey E.

Walk This Way is described as an offbeat web-comedy about a pastor of a mega church who counsels his parishioners with their unusual problems.  The series will feature several guest stars (like Malcolm Jamal Warner in episode 1 below).  This episode was written and directed by Vanessa Middleton, a name you might recognize. She made her feature film directorial debut in 2001 with the ensemble dramedy 30 Years to Life, and has...
