The Definitive Guide to Comedy
Joan Rivers has made several headlines already this month while promoting her new book, “Diary of a Mad Diva.” In her latest interview, a sit-down with Ron Bennington for SiriusXM’s “Unmasked” series — which airs tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern on Raw Dog Comedy Hits channel 99 — Rivers talks about …
Comedians Tracy Morgan and Ardie Fuqua, and Morgan’s personal assistant Jeffrey Millea and his wife Krista Millea, have filed a joint lawsuit against Walmart for the deadly New Jersey Turnpike crash last month that critically wounded Morgan, Fuqua and Millea and killed a fourth passenger, comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair. …
Gabriel Iglesias knew to be gracious toward his new host of The Tonight Show, as he opened his stand-up set Friday night with more than a few minutes about how funny and sexy Jimmy Fallon is. I don’t think that’s why the show gave him not one but two videos. …
