Gunman Fires Shots At North Carolina Comedy Club Where Craig Robinson Was To Perform
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Michael Kovac / Getty Gun violence affects everything, including comedy shows. A gunman opened fire outside a North Carolina comedy club just before Craig Robinson of The Office fame was set to hit the stage. Deadline reports that the gunman entered a spot called The Comedy Zone in Charlotte shortly after 9 PM with a gun and ordered everyone out of the club. The audience, and Robinson, took the advice and went to an adjoining venue next door. Robinson actually took to Instagram to detail the incident. “I’m performing at the Comedy Zone in Charlotte, North Carolina. There was an active shooter in the comedy club. So they moved us over to this — there’s a concert going on so I thought I’d just share with y’all,” said Robinson in the video he posted. “I’m sa...
Seth Rogen Hosts Table Read of Friday’s “You Got Knocked the Fuck Out” Scene: Watch
After taking on Seinfeld the day before, Seth Rogen and his Table Reads series at Netflix Is a Joke Festival went in a decidedly different direction on Monday night by reading through Ice Cube and DJ Pooh’s 1995 stoner classic Friday. One of the highlights of the performance, naturally, was the recreation of the scene in which Deebo launches Red into the air after the latter asks for his bike back, leading Smokey to exclaim, “You got knocked the fuck out!” With Rogen giving stage directions, O’Shea Jackson Jr. stood in for his father Ice Cube’s character Craig Jones. GaTa filled in as Chris Tucker’s Smokey with Brian Simpson as DJ Pooh’s Red and Lil Rel Howery as Tiny “Zeus” Lister Jr.’s Deebo. After promising to get Craig high because “It’s Friday, you ain’t got no job, and...
Craig Robinson Is a Security Guard Turned Snake Hunter in Trailer for Peacock’s Killing It: Watch
In the teaser for his upcoming Peacock series Killing It, Craig Robinson is living in the lap of luxury, but the newly-released trailer shows the long road it took him to get there. Taking a look back at his days as a security guard with big dreams, the clip offers a peek into his journey to becoming an all-American success story. The trailer opens with Robinson’s character getting turned down for a loan in thinly veiled racist language before giving a look at his crumbling home life. Learning his daughter could be moving to Ohio due to his ex’s beau getting a new job seems to be the last straw, so when there’s an opportunity to win $20,000 in a snake hunting contest, it’s a no-brainer. Watch the trailer below. Killing It comes from Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Dan Goor and writer/pr...
Craig Robinson Fights Snakes and Gets Rich in Teaser Trailer for New Series Killing It: Watch
Craig Robinson is a snake-killing, kimono-wearing, all-American success story in the teaser trailer for Killing It. The new comedy series from Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Dan Goor and writer/producer Luke Del Tredici arrives on Peacock in April. The trailer opens with Robinson standing on the balcony of a mansion overlooking the water, his flapping kimono allowing full-body access to the ocean breeze. “I know what you’re thinking: this rich prick,” he says. “But I came from nothing. And the story I’m about to tell you could only happen in the USA.” Robinson has plenty of experience working with Goor and Del Tredici, having booked several episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine as the Pontiac Bandit. In a statement, the series creators talked about their ambitions for...
