Don Lemon Barely Able to Hide Contempt For Fluff

On The Daily Show Tuesday, Jon Stewart ran a segment featuring on of my favorite news people, Don Lemon, barely being able to hide his disinterest in the special brand of news fluffernutter (Now with MORE fluff than nutter!) that CNN churns out when there isn't enough serious news to spread around. It can get stupid ... real stupid. In our present "Age of Cynicism" the Powers-That-Be don't think an American audience has the patience to sit through a solid block of just pure, unfiltered real news.

The Daily Show's Wyatt Cenac Thinks You're Keen

So maybe you should go to the taping of his first comedy special for Comedy Central. He's all kinds of smart funny AND tickets are all kinds of free. Also, writing this gives me the excuse to publish this photo again of myself and Wyatt at his show in Arlington, Va. It goes down Jan. 22 in New York City. (The Black List)

President Obama Takes It Serious On The Daily Show

President Obama went on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night to talk the Midterms, his past two years in office, unemployment, health care reform and his record. Obama, no shock here, was all about business. The audience, no shock here, was warm and excited. And Stewart, also no shock here, (without the jokes) was good interviewer. It always amazes me that a comedy news guy who I could barely remember from almost every other comedy flick in the 90s (he was in "Half Baked" and "Big Daddy" and I don't remember him in either) turned out to be one of the best media interrogators on television. I'm pretty sure he's amazed by that too.

Black People Don't Watch FOX News and Wyatt Cenac Is A Really Nice Guy (Unrelated Things)

The Snob and The Daily Show's Wyatt Cenac

In your latest dose of obviousness, less than 2 percent of FOX News' viewers are African American. In other percentages, 100 percent of all Danielle Beltons hate Jon Stewart's beard, but still enjoy The Daily Show. Also, 100 percent of those same Danielle Beltons would like more Wyatt Cenac on The Daily Show. And those Danielles are not just saying this because Wyatt Cenac gave her and a friend free tickets to see his show last weekend at the Arlington Drafthouse as a thank you for giving him directions to Marvin several months back. But ... you know? That doesn't hurt or anything.

Alvin Greene Is Probably Just Some Dude

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c
Alvin Greene Wins South Carolina Primary
www.thedailyshow.com
Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party

As I've learned more and more about Democratic candidate for Senate Alvin Greene of South Carolina I'm coming closer and closer to the conclusion that he's just "some dude." As a reporter (and a long-time follower of politics), "some dude" (or dudette) will often run for in a fit of pride and delusion. They normally don't win, but ... hey! Even a broken watch is right twice a day!

And if this story on Gawker where a former colleague of Greene describes him in so many words as kind of lazy is to be believed, Greene just sems like your average, kinda slow, but relatively harmless bag o' weird that sometimes pops up in your life. While both were stationed in Korea this colleague claimes that the unlikely politico couldn't fill out forms or form sentences.

The Object of My Affections (An End to Google Stalking TJ Holmes)

For those who don't realize this, my fair Reese Peanut Butter Cup of the TV News aka "The Prince of West Memphis," Sir TJ Holmes got all kinds of married this month to a lovely woman who WAS NOT ME. I was crestfallen. There was a lot of me wandering around the Bat Cave singing Vesta's "Congratulations" while swilling the second cheapest bottle of halfway decent white wine I could find at Schnieder's on The Hill. Because TJ Holmes is now off the market and far, far away from my clutches (and because the wifey Marilee seems so sweet and dreamy), I'm just going to stop stalking him. I know, I know, long-time reader. You thought this day would never come, but I just can't. I will continue to be TJ's number #1 least stalkerish fan and maintain the photo gallery. I will even write about him from time-to-time. But ... I just can't stalk a married man, y'all! It's not as fun.

The Daily Show's Wyatt CenacSo I'm looking for some new guy to stalk. I met The Daily Show's Wyatt Cenac the other week on U Street. He seems nice. I showed him were Marvin's was and I totally name dropped Black Snob all over the place like I was P. Diddles. CNN's Chris Lawrence kind of makes me weak in an SWV-ish way. And I did threaten to stalk Jamal Simmons last year when I met him at Harvard's Annual Black Policy Conference. He's from St. Louis so that should count for something. (I'm a St. Louisian.) I attempted to stalk others, like Hill Harper, Don Lemon and such. But my heart just wasn't in it. Hill's cute and smart and all, but, I dunno. He doesn't bring out "the crazy" in me the way Teege does. And Don Lemon is adorable (and a great journalist), but I'd rather go shopping with him than have all his curly headed babies. Maybe it was because the Teege was from good ol' Arkansas and I've got a sweet spot for folks from Mama Snob's home state. (A matter of fact, "Arkansas Boy Done Good While Being Incredibly Handsome" probably had to do with about 90 percent of his appeal for me.)

Which reminds me, I need to call my Arkansas born n' bred Granny Snob back. I totally didn't take her call while I was partying last night, celebrating the passage of health care with a rack of ribs and a bunch of Howard U. grads. Maybe she'll recommend who I should stalk next? Or berate me for not landing TJ? After all, she once went in on me for not "snagging" Obama. I had to remind her that when the O Man got married it was 1992 and I was somewhere, with ance, grimacing my way through the halls of Hazelwood Central High School in a Cross Colours knock-off shirt at the ripe old age of 15.

Anyway ... who to Google Stalk? I just ... I just don't know.
