Damn who knew the dude from those bad comedy shows in the middle of the night was doing it big like this.

More of this and less of the fake bravado of diddy and politician gay-z.

[Big Boss]

Never hear about him on the Forbes list

 

[RammerJammer]

As a weather nerd, NBC ruined the Weather Channel

Hope he bring it back to it's glory days

TV/Entertainment money is crazy good

Just today I read that the the bailiff on Judge Judy's show gets paid over a million bucks a year

 

[Hugs]

hopefully he converts it to a new and improved and Black owned BET

hmmm, article says Bain/comcast bought the channel back in 2008 for 3.5 billion!

and now Allen is buying it for 300 million i know it doesn't include the online stuff, but thats still very interesting.

I wouldn't mind seeing Mr. Box Office more than once a week

On FIOS this is directly beside FOX news in the listing. I'm wondering if this will be converted to a news network focusing on black people.
