THIS WEEK'S SPOT BITZ ....
So who do you think will win the World Series? This years is definitely historic for both The Cubs and The Indians because its been decades since both teams has ever been on the world stage of baseball--and the ratings ratings show that. This past Wednesday’s Game 2 ratings hit a seven-year high. According to reports, the primetime matchup scored an 11.3 in metered market results, which is the best any World Series Game 2 has done since the major-market Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees faced off in the Bronx on October 29, 2009. Game 1 of this year’s World Series also was a seven-year best in MM results, and also went on to be the most-watched opening game since 2009.
This weekend, the Cubs play on home turf at Wrigley Field, so we will see how well the boys of the Midwest will do. If you have money to spend, we hear that the price for a ticket in VIP was about $3,000 for Friday's Game 3 and $3,700 for Saturday. For Sunday's game the median price was $3,550 as of Thursday . Face value for tickets ranges from $450 for infield club boxes to $175 for upper-deck seats. We are sure actor Bill Murray will be in the VIP boxes cheering his Cubs on.
UPDATE:The Indians won GAME 4Friday nite and heading the lead 2 to 1
2nd UPDATE The CUBS won GAME 5 Sunday nite
and the lead is now Indians 3-2 and CUBS 2-3
This past Saturday, SNL parodied the final debate between Trump and Clinton with critical success, but the shot that everybody was talking about on Monday morning at the watercooler was the Black Jeopardy skit , a recurring skit on the show where Kenan
Thompson plays the host, with two black players and one white player, This past Sunday it was with Leslie Jones and Sasheer Zamata as two of
the three competitors. The third was Doug, played by Tom Hanks playing a hillbilly Trump supporter as each player answer questions in a question from various black based topics.
This past weekend;s episode, with host Tom Hanks and singer Lady Gaga, drew the best viewership of the current season thus far.
NBC notes that Saturday’s “SNL” drew a 6.1 overnight household rating; and that it posted a 3.0 adults 18-49 rating in the 25 markets with local people meters.
On a side note, SNL should really do more with cast member Sasheer Zamata. She's more of a filler and not really utilized for her comedic skills. If you remember, she was the black cast member who made news for being employed on the show a few years ago after their was criticism for SNL not hiring black cast members. Then, SNL writer Leslie Jones was added and she pretty much stole the laughs from Zamata.
Looks like folks love Madea last weekend as Tyler Perry;s alter ego's film, Boo! A Madea Halloween won
the box office for the weekend of October 21-23, racking up $27.6
million from more than 2,000 North American theaters, and defeating Tom
Cruise in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. From reports, Madea’s
substantial opening weekend gave Perry his best showing in six years as
a director, and his most diverse audience yet: Previous installments in
his Madea series brought out 80-90 percent black audiences, while for Boo! that percentage dropped to 60.
Well, looks like Madea is alive and well and we are sure to expect more holiday themed films with Madea--Perry has yet to do a Thanksgiving movie (he's done a Christmas one already) so get ready for Tyler Perry Presents: Gobble Gobble Thanksgiving. LOL
Did you all catch SNL throw shade at Boo during Black Jeopardy when the question was asked that this film was in conversation by black people that the film should be nominated for an Oscar. Hilarious!
UPDATE: BOO was No. 1 again for a second week raking in another 20 plus million at the Box Office over the Halloween weekend with a total of $50 million.
The Beyhive is not happy over comedian Amy Schumer's parody of Beyonce's Formation video .Amy Schumer is defending herself against criticism directed toward her this week following the release of a music video in which she and some celebrity friends pay homage to Beyonce's "Formation."

The Beyhive is not happy over comedian Amy Schumer's parody of Beyonce's Formation video .Amy Schumer is defending herself against criticism directed toward her this week following the release of a music video in which she and some celebrity friends pay homage to Beyonce's "Formation."
From reports, Schumer said the video she made was "NEVER a parody."
"It
was just us women celebrating each other," Schumer wrote. "The video
Beyoncé made was so moving and I wouldn't ever make fun of that. There
is absolutely no way to."
The video also featured Goldie Hawn, Wanda Sykes, Joan Cusack and Raven Goodwin.
In
it, the comedian lip-syncs and dances to "Formation" while she and the
other women were on location shooting a film together.
It first debuted on Tidal, the music streaming service owned by Beyoncé's husband, Jay Z, last week. Schumer had Beyoncé's blessing to do the video. She confirmed that information in her essay.
After the video's release, Schumer was
accused of cultural appropriation on social media and was lambasted for
appearing to make light of the racial politics addressed in Beyonce's
video.
On Twitter, critics used #AmySchumerGottaGoParty to express their distaste with the video.
"I
am of course horrified and sickened by the events that are addressed
throughout that [Beyoncé's] video and didn't see this [Schumer's video]
as minimizing that and still don't. It was a way to celebrate bringing
us all together," Schumer wrote.
Here's the thing, we think the video would have been fine, but when Beyonce talks about being proud of her Negro nostrils and other black based topics in the song it looks extremely racially insensitive with white women dancing and lipping to those lyrics (having Sykes lipping too we guess balanced out the possible controversy).
Other than that, the video itself was OK. And Beyonce was Ok with her doing it so that's that.
But more crazy is how is Goldie Hawn who is in her 70s look way younger than Schumer who is in her 30s???? Insane!
The View's Raven Symone reported this week that she will exit the ABC daytime talker
before the end of this year. She wants to leave NYC where the show is taped and move back to L.A. to return to acting. Word is, she’s
going to begin with a sequel series to her famous Disney Channel hit
That’s So Raven that she will star and exec produce. Well, will she be missed? Not really...well, at least she sported fancy colorful hair to the table. LOL
Raptor Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) is on a roll these days. He can be seen currently in his FX hit Atlanta and this week he was booked to play Lando Calrissian in the Hans Solo prequel film slated for 2018. And it has been reported that he is in talks to join the cast of the reboot of Marvel Comic;s Spider-man Homecoming. So do you think Glover was the best choice to play Lando? Eh, we are not too convinced,. As you already know, Lando was played by the very debonair and suave actor Billy Dee Williams in 1980. But is Glover that guy? We will see. He comes across more geek chic than suave. It would have been nice if say Trey Byers from Empire or even rapper Common. Oh well.
Lifetime struck ratings gold when it aired Michele's bipic: Surviving Compton breaking all Lifetime TV records. So you know it wouldnt be far that the center of the film, singer Michel'le would receive more offers from the success. From reports, she has a signed a new deal. with Thinkfactory Media (who produced the biopic) for possible shopping of a docuseries which would feature Michel’le and her family. The
unscripted series would give viewers a look to her life as she
battles to overcome her past, and move into the next chapter of her life
and career. She also is slated to release a new album in January, and is also currently penning her autobiography.
Congrats to Chris Rock who received a $40 plus million deal with Netflix to shoot two comedy specials.
After an eight-year absence, the specials from reports is the biggest deal , more than such A-list comedians as Louis C.K., Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer have commanded.
The first Rock show will tape in 2017 and follow a new world tour that is currently being planned. It's unclear when either that first show will air or when the second will tape and be rolled out.
We guess Rock was seeing how Kevin Hart is getting comfortable as the black comic superstar and decided to dust off his mic and get back in the game. Oh and on sidenote, did you all know that Rock gave Tyler Perry the idea to do Boo after Rock mentioned the film title as a joke on his comedy mockumentary Top Five a few years back.
