I agree Mr. Greer
Usually I think David Alan Greer is a bit on the "coony" side. The Yale School of Drama graduate always seems to play "scared negreo #4" in whatever movie he is in (Exhibit A: Jumanji). However he sometimes hits the nail on the head with his new TV show called Chocolate News on Comedy Central. Granted I was a little bit jealous of this one as I had a similar idea that I was working on with another comic, but that jealousy subsided when I watched this clip (I know my talent could not have done the bit the justice which Mr. Greer did it. However he is still on my Coon Suspect list.)

So ...
Did you catch D L Hughley on CNN?
I saw Chocolate News and was very impressed by it - I think I had the same impression of Greer as you did. Did you see the part where they were doing the drive by on the bike? Hilarious. It seems like a cross between the Daily Show and Chappelle's Show, and it worked pretty well with only a couple of flat bits.
I watched Hughley on CNN and was far less impressed. He seemed to be trying too hard, and very nervous, and the bits weren't that funny. I like DL and hoped for better, but he needs some help with this one.

TS,
I saw DL Hughley's show and it's a bit of a let down. He literally paints everything in black and white when the true comedy of it is in the grey.
Kantad,
I like the monologues from Chocolate News but after that it goes off kilter and it's a sketch show with no real news to speak of. NOw if only someone would do a show like that...hmmm.
