Friends from College Is the Perfect Netflix Original Comedy Binge


Friends from College season 1 starring Keegan-Michael Key is the perfect Netflix Original comedy binge. Each episode averages approximately 30 minutes in length and there is a total of eight in the series, right now. Soon, there will be more episodes because season 2 is expected to air on January 11, 2019.

You can reasonably finish your binge over the weekend. If you choose to binge-watch the show, I guarantee you’ll enjoy every minute. Friends from College is fun, light, dark, laid-back, and energetic when necessary.

I watched every episode and I’m fascinated by the script and character development. Admittedly, some things are predictable. The characters grow and the script flips. I feel there isn’t a better setting or a more perfect plot. Friends from College is about a group of college friends from Harvard who reunite in New York City.

Keegan-Michael Key is a novelist named Ethan, who’s married to a lawyer who hates her job. They don’t have any kids together. And Ethan is cheating on his wife with her best friend.

Plus, Ethan secretly has feelings for Marianne. That’s pure speculation on my part. Marianne is a friend from college who allows Ethan and his wife to live in her New York apartment rent-free.

Ethan is the character you love to hate. The comedy show is predictably all about Ethan. Fred Savage plays Ethan’s gay best friend and agent named Max. Max’s partner is a surgeon, who also graduated from Harvard. He openly hates Ethan, because he thinks Max has secret feelings for Ethan.

You see Keegan-Michael Key and Fred Savage are a dynamic duo. If Keegan-Michael Key’s Ethan is Batman, then Fred Savage’s Max is Robin.  Max is Ethan’s muse. They make up stories and write books.

The TV show debut on July 14, 2017. Friends from College season 2 returns after a year-long break next week. Clear your schedules next weekend, because the perfect binge is back.

Joe Rogan is one of the most interesting characters in the Non-Marvel Universe we call life. He’s kind of like the Dos Equis guy but without the long gray beard. In other words, he is a true Renaissance Man. Moreover, he kicks butt in more ways than one… through comedy and martial arts.

Just give him a microphone and watch him go. I often find myself listening to his podcasts and watching his comedy specials. Rogan gives everybody something to think about with his unique twist on life.

He has a style about him that makes listeners want more. I have followed Joe Rogan for years. I remember when he was hosting the Fear Factor. I used to watch that show every week.

Joe Rogan is the Renaissance Man of Entertainment because he’s on the cutting edge of popular culture. His podcasts keep you informed. I appreciate his insights.

He cares about being healthy and happy. At the end of the day, all you have is your health and happiness. That’s why I respect Joe Rogan because he champions health and happiness. Plus, he lives a full life.

You should watch his podcasts on YouTube when you get the chance. You’ll find dozens if not hundreds of videos that will entice your ears and eyes. Joe Rogan delivers everything you need.

Joe Rogan is interesting because he is a big personality. He’s kind of like Howard Stern’s successor in a way. He knows what to say and how to say it in a big way. He interviews people with a purpose.

Moreover, Rogan always has a message. He doesn’t simply talk to be talking. The 50 year-old has a method to his madness.  He gives you 100 percent every time he speaks on the microphone. If you like entertainment, you will like this entertainer.

Marlon & Naked Movie Review

Yesterday Marlon Wayans returned to prime time TV. Who remembers the Wayans Brothers? His new sitcom is simply called Marlon. As expected, Marlon is hilarious like the man it is named after. 2 episodes aired back to back on NBC. So, families were rewarded with a full hour of funny. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Marlon goes wild. I’ve never seen a comedian more physical than him. Have you? He reminded me of Martin. I feel Marlon has gotten funnier over the years.
The other characters were great too. I got love for Essence Atkins and her portrayal of Marlon’s ex wife. Plus, Bresha Webb had a nice role.
I want to see Marlonsucceed. There are 8 shows already lined up; and I believe there’s potential for more. If you want to literally laugh your ass off, then watch Marlon Wayans perform on Mondays.
In addition, Marlon Wayans has a new movie on Netflix called Naked. The movie was released on August 11th. I highly recommend seeing the movie. I watched it last night. You’ll enjoy the film because it’s original.
The film is about a substitute teacher (Marlon Wayans) marrying a doctor (Regina Hall). Her father thinks she could do a lot better. I don’t want to give away too much of the plot because I want you to watch it. However, Marlon’s character gets stuck in an elevator naked over and over again. I believe you’ll like it.

Wayans plays the hell out of the character. Overall, Naked was well written. I gave it 5 stars because that’s the highest rating you could give. Brian McKnight makes a noteworthy appearance. Does he get naked too? You got to watch and see.
Marlon Wayans isn’t putting all his eggs into one basket. He is diversifying his talents. Moreover, he has mastered comedy.

Why Russell Peters Is Great

Great comedy can bring people together. Some standups don’t know how to relate to everyone. That’s why you see instant backlash and isolated people at shows.

It is important to win the crowd over and get them on your side. Not everyone can do this effectively. Greatness takes time, dedication, and practice. The best in showbiz don’t become famous overnight.

Russell Peters is one of the greats. He belongs in the best standup comedians conversation. You see Russell engages in risky behaviors and his audience loves him for that.

This comic will make fun of anybody. Hell, he’ll even make fun of himself. When you’re not afraid to tell jokes, you sell out crowds easier. Moreover, he tackles challenging subjects in a sarcastic manner.

Born in Toronto Canada, he qualifies as one of the funniest Canadians. Plus, his Indian background contributes a great deal to his material. You could compare him to Aziz Ansari but there is only one Russell Peters. Make no mistake, his style and delivery are unmistakeable.

Many of his jokes are unrepeatable, of course, because they are NSFW (Not Safe For Work). In other words, repeating his comedy at your job could get you fired. So, proceed with caution. Tread on thin ice if you don’t want to offend anybody.

Everyone must know the importance of timing in standup comedy. Russell Peters delivers like Amazon, right on time. Right now is Russell Peters time to shine. The celebrity is singing You Are My Sunshine on his way to the bank. He has a lot to be happy about.

The 46-year-old is one of the highest paid comedians according to Forbes. He makes $21 million per year. That’s almost as much as LeBron James’ take home pay. I highly recommend watching his Almost Famous standup special. And I look forward to seeing his future work.

Ellen DeGeneres Should Make Oprah Money

Ellen DeGeneres Should Make Oprah Money


The generous Ellen DeGeneres generates electricity on the Ellen show. When the lights are out, the first thing you do is call the electric company. How about giving Ellen a call the next time this happens. I can’t make any promises but I’m sure she’ll at least make you smile.

For 14 years Ellen has been doing exactly that and eating the cake. Everyday on the Ellen Show is like your birthday. You never know what’s up her sleeves. The celebrity is full of surprises.

Soon, she’ll be giving away cars to everybody like Oprah did. Like orange is the new black, Ellen is the new Oprah. You watch.

Wouldn’t it be great if she starred on the Netflix hit OITNB? At a minimum, she could make a cameo or maybe voiceover even. Who’s waiting?


Her creativity assists in an entertaining experience. Speaking of experience, who else in showbiz (but Oprah) can match her clout?

Another thing- what if she did Carpool Karaoke with James Corden? That’s why I love celebrities and entertainment so much. There’s a whole lot we can do. Let your imagination run wild and I’ll take you there.

Do you like the Ellen show? I’ll say it again! Ellen DeGeneres is a standup gal. You like to watch her because she’s amazing at monologues and interviews.

Last week was premiere week on Ellen. I got a chance to watch the full Friday show live. In case you missed it, Tom Hanks made a grand entrance. What is more, DeGeneres donated her largest gift in history to her home state of Louisiana. As you may know, Louisiana got hit hard by flooding recently.


Ellen couldn’t stand by and watch this devastation. This is why Britney Spears (who took the famous Ed O’Neill Selfie) joined the team. Right now, it is incredible that the talk show host is backing up her words with action.

Why We Need Insurance On Donald Glover and Trevor Noah

Why We Need Insurance On Donald Glover and Trevor Noah


Donald Glover and Trevor Noah are two of the biggest names in comedy and entertainment. Movie industry executives come knocking on their doors. In other words, they’ll always find work in showbiz because their brands are durable. What is more, Glover and Noah stay ready to shake, rattle, and roll.

Tina Fey took Donald under her wing when he was 21 years old as a writer for 30 Rock. Since then, the multi-talented entertainer has released rap albums, starred in comedy specials, and been featured in movies. Without question, the celebrity provides premium entertainment value. That’s why he has appeared on premium cable channels such as Comedy Central.

South African sensation Trevor Noah turned his standup career into a comfy desk job. He is the perfect host for the Daily Show. He doesn’t just make it look easy; you can tell he’s having the time of his life. Nobody can deny the jolly good fellow’s energy.

Trevor Noah and Donald Glover are two celebrities who can make a difference with their words. From Johannesburg to Pittsburgh, people care about what Trevor has to say. Moreover, Donald influences the comedy world because he is one of the hottest comedians right now.

Like the greats Richard Pryor and George Carlin, these comics aren’t afraid to risk everything. They’ll gladly leave it all out on the table if it means creating superior content. Also, their comedic IQs are on genius levels. You rarely see comedians who are able to appeal to everyone.

I chose to write about Donald and Trevor because they have opposing styles. You see the American is laid back and the South African is high-energy. When it’s all said and done, we have a winning combination.

At the end of the day, these comedians are relevant. Plus, they make a killing from the comedy game. That’s why we need insurance on Donald Glover and Trevor Noah.

Who Do You Choose? James Corden Vs. Seth Meyers

BY: GURU JAY



Who do you watch late at night? After Jimmy Fallon, Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert, James Corden and Seth Meyers comes on.  How can you watch both at the same time?  Who do you choose? It depends on what you want.
Go with James Corden for pure entertainment. He offers the full package. However, if you want some spin with your ride, Seth is the one.  Do I sound like a car salesman? That’s the point.


Picture buying a brand new set of wheels off my dealership…The James Corden or the Seth Meyers. They both provide premium entertainment at an affordable cost.


I remember the very first Corden’s Carpool Karaoke. Stevie Wonder was behind the steering wheel getting ready to drive. I’ve always been wonderful and from then on I became a James Corden fan.


The comedic actor’s performance in Begin Again was noteworthy. I also like how on The Late Late Show he calls everybody out at the same time plus his tag line “And this is The Late Late Show.”  I used to blog “This is the Guru Jay” when I first started.

Now, Seth Meyers handles his business. Having Fred Armisen play in the band was a brilliant move.  Bobby Fischer couldn’t make a bolder opening.


Seth Meyers uses satire like trash bags. He always throws away a joke. His Saturday Night Live days prepared him well.  I think he’s a better interviewer than James Corden.


But I feel JC is the best comedian. That’s saying a lot because I used to be more familiar with Seth.  And I love SNL like baseball. Who do I choose?


Entertainment-wise my first choice is James Corden. His show defines variety. He doesn’t have an issue with doing it all. On the flip side, I feel Myers specializes in political humor. Guess who majored in political science?


Does Seth Meyers remind you of Alex Keaton/ Michael J. Fox from Family Ties? At the end of the day it’s all about sense of humor. Both celebrities have sharp senses. Kinda cheesy?
