HERE ARE THIS WEEK'S SPOT BITZ...







Trump made Person of The Year for Time Magazine.... 


Moving on.....





This week the nominees for the 59th Annual Grammy Awards were announced and Beyoncé led the nominations with nine nominations including Album of the Year for "Lemonade."  Tied with eight were Rihanna, Kanye West and Drake.  So the talk these few days have been who will win Album of The Year either Beyoncé or Adele's "25." We think that Beyoncé should receive it (and Rolling Stone Magazine ranked it as the best album of 2016 as well), but this is the Grammy Awards and can pull a surprise (remember Beck winning Album of the Year over Beyoncé?)so it could be a shock that neither Beyoncé nor Adele wins and black hourse country artist Sturgill Simpson could win it  whos nominated. But as far as relevance,Beyoncé made headlines with her single "Formation" (which is nominated for both Record and Song of the Year) and its video entitling  the Black Lives Matter movement, but we will see Feb 12. On  a historic moment,. Beyoncé's nominations made her the most nominated female in Grammy history with 62. So who do you think should win?



 Media mogul Oprah Winfrey will conduct the final one-on-one interview with First Lady Michelle Obama in the White House.Winfrey’s interview with the first lady will air on CBS on Dec. 19 and again on OWN on Dec. 21.The interview is titled “First Lady Michelle Obama Says Farewell to the White House — An Oprah Winfrey Special,” produced by OWN Studios. Winfrey will talk to Obama about her eight years as First Lady, her accomplishments in the White House and her plans for the future (which doesn't entail her running for the Oval Office in 2020---well not as of now.)







Did you all see the premiere episode of Mariah Carey's eight- part docuseries (more like lounging series), "Mariah's World on E Channel? The  premiere pulled a 0.5 rating with 1.2 million viewers. Based on Nielsen's Top 100 Cable shows, it ranked #20. Did you all see it? What did you all think? It is definitely a parody skit ready to happen!



 And speaking of Mimi, according to reports, nearly two million total viewers tuned in to catch Mariah Carey along with  Patti LaBelle, Teyana Taylor, Chaka Khan, Vanessa Williams among others who performed at "VH1 DIVAS HOLIDAY: UNSILENT NIGHT" on VH1 this week.  It marked VH1's highest rated "Divas" in more than a decade.
Additionally, DIVAS trended #1 on Twitter. Did you all view it? What were your thoughts?



The Live telecast of the musical Hairspray helped make NBC the top network Wednesday with a 2.3 rating and almost 9 million viewers. However, of all the TV live musicals since The Sound of Music in 2013  ranked last.

 Here’s how that stacks up against the live-same-day ratings for other televised live musicals:
  • “The Sound of Music Live!” (aired Dec. 5, 2013 on NBC): 4.6, 18.62 million
  • “Peter Pan Live!” (aired Dec. 4, 2014 on NBC): 2.4, 9.21 million
  • “The Wiz Live!” (aired Dec. 3, 2015 on NBC): 3.4, 11.5 million
  • “Grease: Live” (aired Jan. 31, 2016 on Fox): 4.3, 12.18 million
Opinionmakers are saying the low ratings could have occurred because of heavy competition on the other networks including  "Empire" on Fox.  Did you all see it?





And speaking of Empire, the hit series had its lowest ratings  since its debut in 2015 this past Wednesday with a 2.5 rating and close to 7 million viewers.  The way the ratings have been going, we wonder how many more seasons does the show have?  When it debuted its first season were pulling in close to 18 million viewers. Now, the viewership have been cut more than 60 percent.  Some say the soap operish feel to the show could be the reason (Rhonda's ghost for example).The show still is one of the highest ranking shows on network television, but it looks like Empire isn't the appointment watching show that it once was.



And speaking of Empire, its spin off , "Star" starring Queen Latifah will air  its first episode after Empire next Wednesday.



Radio legend Tom Joyner announced Friday the replacement (or shall we say the replacements) of longtime co-host J Anthony Brown on the Tom Joyner Morning Radio Show. He reported that five comedians will replace Brown. They are: Arsenio Hall, Bill Bellamy, Lavelle Crawford, Sherri Shepherd and Kym Whitley. They replacements will start Jan 2, 2017. Joyner said that he knew Brown's leaving was coming at the end of this year  but he didn't expect Brown to leave early. He also said that he was going to announce his replacement on Friday's show on his last show before going on Christmas vacation, but was bit angered with Brown for leaving early. So, what do you think of the new change? Should Joyner be in his feelings because Brown left before the inevitable? And on a side note we are shocked that comedian Damon Williams didn't get a spot as one of the replacements. That was a shocker for he was the first subber when Brown was not present, but we are glad that Crawford got a spot (and we mentioned of him being a possible replacement last week.).

This week we feature Beyonce who made newz for the most Grammy nominations for the 2017 awards as well most nominated female in history. She is also known for being a sex siren in the music biz especially after her photo spread in Sports Illustrated a few years ago.
This week we feature Steve Harvey who hosted Showtime At The Apollo special that aired this week on Fox. The Emmy award winning host has always been a dapper guy, even having his own line of suits,

HERE'S THIS WEEK'S SPOT BITZ ....



The last public TV appearance of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will be of their hosting  their final Kennedy Center Honors ceremony. This year the honorees will include Mavis Staples, Al Pacino, The Eagles, Martha Argerich and James Taylor. The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert will host The Kennedy Center Honors at 9pm on Tuesday, December 27th on CBS.
And for a great send off, we would love for the POTUS to come on the stage and say a few words about his tenure as the Head of State.



 Did you all see the interview that ultra conservative pundit Tami Lohren had on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah? They talked topics such as the Trump protestors after the election, Black Lives Matter and Kaepernick. He pretty much put her in her place on those topics.

Looks like comedian David Chappelle has signed in ink a $60 million dollar deal with Netflix after making an iconic comeback hosting Saturday Night Live a coupl eof weeks ago.  Chappelle wlll give the streaming service three comedy specials at $20 milli a piece. So you all know what's next? A bidding war with these cable and standard networks trying to woo him with deals for him as well. Over 10 years ago, Chappelle walked away from $50 million to renew his contract with his monster comedy show on Comedy Central. So what's making him sign up for the bucks now? Was this all in the plan? Only he knows. But its good that he is back on the scene. His talent and angle on tackling social topics is definitely needed.




Gospel icon Shirley Caesar is dumbfounded on the idea that she is a viral sensation after a meme of her song, "Hold My Mule" became a U NAME IT challenge based activity as the refrain, "Beans, Greens, Potatoes, Tomatoes:" under a house beat. The meme has had people creating their own dances to it during the Thanksgiving holiday as well as merchandise.  Since then, the viral status has crossed over to her music career, According to Billboard, she  earned her first No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Gospel Songs chart  as "Hold My Mule," featuring Albertina Walker and Milton Brunson, rises 2-1. Caesar, originally released "Mule" in 1988, reigns as the track leads Gospel Streaming Songs for a second week, up by 268 percent to 3 million U.S. streams, according to Nielsen Music. 



Tom Joyner Morning Show radio fans were shocked this week when one of the show's personalities J Anthony Brown had a press conference online to announce his leaving the show after 20 years. Earlier this year, he staged a walk out after a money dispute  and was brought back a few days later after reconciliation. But this time around,  the walk out was permanent. Since his leaving, there have been rumors as to why he left.  Well, his contract was ending this month and he decided to leave before negotiations to renew his contract. and here is why.

 From reports, it wasnt because of a salary dispute, 
 “It was based on me wanting to venture out and have my own weekend show. That’s it. We couldn’t come to terms. It was just time for me to leave… Sometimes people just disagree and part ways. That’s just what happened.”he said.
He harbors no resentment toward Joyner’s syndication company Reach Media or Joyner himself.
“It was absolutely the best job I’ve ever had,” Brown said. “The most fun I ever had.”
Since he couldn’t say goodbye on air, he did so on Twitter and said the video has been seen more than 60,000 times.
He was definitely the comic relief of the show. He was bold and sometimes a bit corny but he was definitely entertaining. So the question now is can anyone replace him? Damon Williams who has subbed for Brown on occasion may be a good replacement. But we vote for Lavelle Crawford who also subbed for Brown but more sporadically. But to be honest, Brown is irreplaceable.

The 2016 Soul Train Awards hosted by singer Erykah Badu (who also exec produced)  on BET topped the Nielsen Social Content Ratings for TV series and specials for the week of Nov. 21.The Soul Train Awards were responsible for 1.879 million total interactions across Facebook and Twitter, blowing away AMC’s The Walking Dead (555,000) and NBC’s The Voice  (450,000).

                                           RIP BITZ


 This week we lost TV exec Grant Tinker (age 90); actress Florence Henderson (age 82), ACTOR Ron Glass (AGE 71) AND SINGER Colonel Abrams (age 67) and in the STL, radio legend Richard Onion Horton (age 80)

This week we feature  Dave Chappelle who's been sporting a buffer body these past few years. No longer the lanky thin comic that we knew him since his debut on the film Nutty Professor with Eddie Murphy. He is now the comic with the guns (and not as overkill as roided out comics Carrot Top or Joe Piscapo). We are surprised that he hasnt been asked to pose for any fitness magazine covers, but he can definitely give a few tips of his fitness regimen for those who seek to bulk up..















 This week we feature singer Erykah Badu who hosted the Soul Train Music Awards that were aired last weekend. Here is the iconic artist on the red carpet of the show giving serious diva  fashion. Dressed in a burgundy top hat, a yellow regal Ralph & Russo chartreuse evening dress with Elizabethan undertones, she also wore oversize medallions strung on beads,  a rosary necklace and a Maat Egyptian-inspired multi-finger ring that could easily double as a fan.





Wooooo! Did you all see that hella wild sex scene from the season finale of HBO's Insecure with Laurence and Tasha (played by Jay Ellis and DomiNque Perry)???? It looked like they were smashin for real! In teh words of John Witherspoon--BANG-BANG-BANG!
