Hey i'm a young black male and i have to side with the first poster Lauren. She hit this one right on the head. The comedy on this show is not remotely funny. I"m disappointed, that a Ivy League Educated Black man DAG cannot come up with better material. I mean come on DAG the same useless stereotypes when most black people are in the middle class, don't live in inner city ghettos and for the most part don't act like the bulk of your characters. The difference between this show and Chappelle is in who is writing the show. It is not written by blacks nor is any of the creative background of this show controlled by blacks. It is typical white comedy stereotyping blacks with a black face. Seriously get a better show up. This show bits. Although the Maya sketch was funny, but that is about it.

I agree with billabongin. DAG is really one of the very best comedians around. We've been waiting for years for him to get recognition for his comedic talent.

I also agree, lighten up a bit and have some fun.

Hey Lauren, lighten up, have you seen the first season of Chocolate News already?? Maybe you should reserve judgement before spewning off your overly sensitive views about something you don't know that much about yet.

DAG is not Flava Flav, DAG is actually a great performer, master of characters and comedian, he's long overdue to have a show for himself and I hope Comedy Central let's him have total creative control over his show.

And yes I'm black….and I'm also a fan of the "humorless" black reporter on The Daily Show, as you referred to him as.

Your rant would be more appropriate for Flava Flav's show, that's more of a minstrel show than anything I've seen in a long time.

I love the Daily Show, and I watch it every day. And every day, I get straight up offended by the Chocolate News commercials. So I went on the site, trying to give y'all the benefit of the doubt, and the clips aren't funny at all, and worse, they're ignorant. (And by the way, don't come with that "it's only racist if you are crap". I'm damn sure not racist against my people, but I am offended when it's 2008 and I see nothing but stereotype after stereotype. Plus, it's neither funny nor smart, more like Amos and Andy in a new century.) Not only does the show's name suggest that it represents all black people, you have the nerve to suggest black people haven't been represented on TV. Negro, please. This is not the 1980's, and this is not "In Living Color." Comedy central may have a dearth of black people, but we are certainly showing up on the rest of cable.

Is this the response over the guilt at not having a "black" show since Chappelle's show went off the air? Chappelle's Show, now that was a show that made fun of black people without stereotyping them. How on earth did this show ever make it into production? And actually, I've wondered that about humorless black reporter on the Daily Show, too. Is there some guilt because you need more minorities? I'll tell you, I'd rather y'all wait until some quality black shows come along than put this garbage on the air. I hope this show goes off the air quickly and gets replaced by something funny.
