I know I am late, but I really have not felt like posting since being eliminated from Athens Last Comic Standing. Anyway today I am focusing on one of the Most important comedians ever. This is because he put sooo many people on. When Rodney Dangerfield put you on his specials that means that you made it. Even when he was wrong it was memorable. Rodney also made a transition to classic films like Caddyshack and my favorite Dangerfield work Back to School.
Caddyshack
Back to School
Unfortunately Rodney died at 82 in 2004. Click Here to read more about Rodney Dangerfield

Throwback Thursday
Today's comedian is the late great Redd Foxx. The reason that my dad is probably so in to comedy is my Grandfather being a fan of Redd Foxx. It is amazing that Redd got his own show in the 1970's because his act was so dirty, but part of his genius was that he was just as funny clean.
Foxx was born in St. Louis, Missouri and raised on Chicago's South Side. His mother was half Seminole. His father, an electrician, left the family when Foxx was four. He was raised by his mother, his minister, and his grandmother. He briefly attended DuSable High School with future Chicago mayor Harold Washington, but never graduated.
Moving to New York in the early 1940s, he was an associate of Malcolm Little later known as Malcolm X. In Malcolm's autobiography, Foxx is referred to as "Chicago Red, the funniest dishwasher on this earth." Foxx earned the nickname due to his reddish hair and complexion. His stage name surname was taken from baseball star Jimmie Foxx.Foxx gained notoriety with his nightclub act (considered by the standards of the time to be raunchy). His stand-up performances were later released as "party" albums and became very popular.
He was also one of the first black comics to play to white audiences on the Las Vegas Strip. Foxx used his starring role on Sanford and Son to help get jobs for his friends such as LaWanda Page, Slappy White, Gregory Sierra, and Noriyuki "Pat" Morita.

It's crazy how commedians can reveal there deepest fears in front of the audience
I am not shocked that Dave said what he did. Dave is still the man, and this is proof that he is a real dude. Very funny for a weatherman.

Throwback Thursday
Dont Forget I will be hosting Thursday Night Live at Seney Stoval Chapel behind the Varsity at 8 . Today's edition is a legend that opened doors for people like Richard Pryor and everyone to come after him. Unfortunately he was and often is compared to Bill Cosby, but like Cosby said himself the only thing they have in common is race, and I guess age.
Dick Gregory is still doing his thang and brings his humor and comedy to everywhere he goes.

Wild n' out
Back when this Kobe vs. Timmy commercial came out people didn't get that it was a reference to Wild Style. Wild Style was the original hip hop culture movie directed by Fab 5 Freddy.
