Forsaking comedy for serious punditry and book writing

What the gosh heck happened? Apparently, comedian D.L. Hughley has become a thinker and pundit for the ages. Um...qualifications are...um, he's a comedian. And he did a show or tour with some other comedians. Apparently, "world scary - must share thoughts to sooth and heal less people" was the justification for this transformation.

I didn't think he was the "funny" one in the Kings of Comedy, but apparently, that was because his head hurt from excessive cogitation, preventing him from honing his comedic skills because of all the deep thoughts clawing to get out. Thank Cthulhu that he has not become pretentious or fallen under the sway of his own original thoughts. Can't wait to hear him weigh in on airline food, or the political implications of that lost sock in the dryer.

For the record, the funny one was Cedric the Entertainer. I met him on a flight once from St. Louis to Kansas...he was cool and his bodyguards only bruised my liver a little bit. He autographed my boarding pass for SpinePuncher. I still think of him every time my liver twinges.

On second thought, if thesaurus-addict George "Word to Your Mamar" Will can be a pundit, I guess anyone can. Hughley is prettier than Will. Doesn't Will look like that smart-ass nerd you used to beat up in grade school? I guess you showed him, huh?

Who is prettier?
What next, Chris Elliot writes a book? Oh, wait...



...he has written at least two.

As long as nobody is just simply cashing in on their fame and are producing good [sellable] products, I guess I can live with these changes...
