Larry David hosted SNL last night, and this happened. Brilliant.
Comedy
Wu Goo
Comedy, Music, VideosThis is incredible. Watch Ghostface Killah as he gets on his Home Shopping Network shit to push his new Wu Goo hash oil and accompanying vape pen. There’s a legit rap song/video that drops after it too, featuring Ghost and Killah Priest. The whole thing is a trip.

Smoove Operator
Comedy, VideosMount Vernon’s own JB Smoove swung through Hot 97 this week to chat with Ebro, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez about the Oscars, his MSG show Four Courses, the possible return of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and much more. Love this dude.
Catch JB doing stand up next weekend at Caroline’s in NYC (1/28-1/30), and I’m trying to go check him out at Foxwoods in CT on April 8th who’s with me?!
Spade Speaks
Comedy, Interviews, PodcastsI’m an SNL baby, so dudes like David Spade were huge influences on my sense of humor as a middle/high school kid. I just finished listening to his sit-down with Marc Maron, and it was surprisingly one of my favorite WTF episodes in a long time. Lots of interesting and funny stories about his upbringing in Arizona, his career as a stand-up comic, and of course his stint on Saturday Night Live with Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, and the rest of the gang. Plus current personal shit I never knew about, like his relationship with his 7-year-old daughter, and a crazy story about an assistant of his who broke into his house a few years ago and basically tried to kill him while he was sleeping. Listen above, or stream on whatever podcast outlet you prefer.
Breakfast In Pleasantville
Comedy, Videos
On the latest episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld picks up Steve Martin on the Upper West Side for a ride up to Pleasantville for breakfast. I was a huge Steve Martin fan as a kid, and still am. Dude is one of the comedy G.O.A.T.s, and was definitely a big influence on me in my adolescent years. Click the link below to watch.
Ride Out
Comedy, VideosConan O’Brien is always good for some off-stage antics on his show, and this week, he took one of his interns out on the streets of L.A. to give her driving lessons. And along the way, he picked up Ride Along 2 stars Ice Cube and Kevin Hart to assist. This is a fun watch.
Wardell Wit
Comedy, VideosI started randomly following this kid Brandon Wardell on Twitter a few months ago, not really knowing who he is or what he does. Turns out he’s a stand-up comedian, and a pretty funny one at that. He’s got a millennial stoner vibe, which I dig. Check this clip out and see what you think.
Rap Dad Talk
Comedy, Interviews, My Dudes, PodcastsMy boys ItsTheReal—the hip-hop comedy duo with Harrison roots—continue to pump out quality podcast episodes with the music industry’s brightest and most interesting artists and personalities on their show A Waste of Time. Their latest episodes star two dudes who I interviewed for my 2014 NahRight Father’s Day Feature on Rap Dads, The Kid Mero and Shea Serrano. Mero is a comedian from the Bronx who cracks me the fuck up with his witty hood commentary, and Shea is an extremely talented and hilarious writer/author (The Rap Year Book is available now on Amazon). And they both hold down the fort as dedicated Dads and family men.
Shea’s episode just dropped so I haven’t peeped it yet, but I already know it’s amazing just off how amazing a guy he is. As for Mero’s, I’m about halfway through, and the story about him saying what’s up to Slick Rick while helping his son pee into a Poland Spring bottle outside the Dollar Tree had me laughing out loud in my car (mad loud) today. Listen to The Kid Mero’s episode above, and Shea Serrano’s below. Shouts to my boys Eric and Jeff aka ItsTheReal, thanks again for coming through to rep with me the other night at Mercury Lounge!
Corvettes and Coffee
Comedy, Interviews
The new season of Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee web series is here, and the first episode features none other than President Barack Obama. Jerry pulls up to the White House in a ’63 Corvette Stingray, and asks Obama some great questions as they drive it around the property, check out the President’s limo, and grab some coffee inside. There are lots of laughs and memorable moments throughout—click the link below to watch.
