  • VIDEO: Dancing's David Alan Grier Tells Two Judges to "Kiss My A--" | All Things Dancing with the Stars | 4/9/2009

    It was a sad night for In Living Color alum David Alan Grier after his Dancing run came to an end Tuesday. TV Guide Network caught up with bummed-out funnyman right after he got the boot and learned Grier had "no love" for the judges' other than Len (whom he merely "respects"). The cast-off had a few fightin' words for Carrie Ann and Bruno (at the 4:50 mark) — and Kym Johnson had the same look Mike Meyers did when Kanye West made that President Bush comment.

  • Comedy Central's New Slate Brims Over with Ambition | Today's News: Our Take | 3/12/2008
    Comedy Central has announced its upcoming development slate, and it's nothing short of diverse, ambitious and (I hope) hilarious. According to Variety, some of the star-driven pilots include potential series from Snoop Dogg, Andy Richter and David Alan Grier (!), in genres that range from animation to sketch comedy to scripted narratives to flat-out parodies.Snoop, who's apparently on a quest to become the most ubiquitous music artist across the networks, is the subject of an animated pilot that follows his life from his days as little G in the LBC. Grier's pilot will feature the comedian in a magazine show parody, David Alan Grier's Chocolate News, while Richter's potential show stars him in a sketch comedy series. The rest of the development roster is chock-full of potentially massive laugh-a-thons.
