In September 2005, Mooney performed a segment at the 2005 BET Comedy Awards called the "nikka Wake Up Call Award", in which he jokingly presents an award to African American celebrities who have had well-publicized legal troubles. The "nominees" included Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Lil' Kim and Diana Ross. Mooney awarded Ross and made numerous jokes about Ross' 2002 arrest for DUI. According to people who were in attendance, Mooney also made light of the death of Ross' ex-husband Arne Næss Jr., who fell while mountain climbing in 2004.[6][7] Tracee Ellis Ross, Ross's daughter and Næss's stepdaughter, was also in attendance. She reportedly was so offended and embarrassed that she left the room and was comforted by host Steve Harvey.[6][7] Backstage in the press room, Mooney was asked if he felt his performance was "over the top". Mooney replied:
“ How can somebody get arrested for (being under the influence) and go to jail and I be over the top? I think that's over the top, don't you? Agree or disagree, folks. No, comedy is not over the top. When you are a celebrity and you do crazy stuff, that's the game. ”

When Mooney was informed that Tracee Ellis Ross was in the audience, he stated:
“ I didn't know ... her mama could've been in there, that's not the point. I didn't drive drunk. Now I'm responsible for Diana Ross? If you scrutinize Jay Leno and David Letterman the same way you scrutinize me, then I'll agree with you, but if you don't touch them white folks don't touch me. They say whatever they want to say every night.[8] ”

The majority of Mooney's performance was edited out of the televised broadcast.
Showtime at the Apollo

During a 2006 performance at the Apollo Theater in which Mooney was taping a segment for Showtime at the Apollo, his performance was stopped in the middle of his act, allegedly due to his criticisms of President George W. Bush. Mooney appeared on The Howard Stern Show on October 30, 2006 where he talked about the performance, including bringing in his road manager as a witness. During the act he made several jokes about Bush, including one likening him to the devil and one stating that his mother looked like the "guy on the Quaker Oats box",[9] and was immediately pulled from the stage. A 45-minute debate ensued in his dressing room in which they decided to cancel the rest of his act. Mooney was told that he had "offended unnamed officials from Time Warner",[10] which operates Showtime at the Apollo. A Time Warner spokeswoman called the story "ridiculous... it's absolutely untrue" that the company had anything to do with the incident. Mooney vowed never to perform at the Apollo again until he receives a straight answer.[11] The line Mooney was reciting when he got pulled off stage was:

"fukk the Bushes. I hate the whole family. Like that mother of his, she looks like the guy on the Quaker Oats box..."

:heh:

Mooney used to be funny. Its like he's just lashing out on everybody cause he feels he should be a 'bigger name' in Hollywood at this stage of his life and career. I saw him in LAX not to long ago. He's a faq

Man back in the day you could tell jokes like these and no one got offended because people could take jokes back then. nikkas today are too damn sensitive and are ready to cry if you say ONE thing out of line, then you got to apologize to everyone and America... what happen to society and comedy brehs?:to:
