Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Blue Collar Celebs comedy comics country Entertainment Funny Guru Jay Jeff Foxworthy Jokes Larry the Cable Guy Movies Rednecks richest show business standup TV shows

Who Is More Country? Jeff Foxworthy Vs. Larry the Cable Guy

BY: GURU JAY

I’ve followed comedians Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy for more than a decade. They’re true to the blue. That’s why Jeff and Larry are the richest comics in show business.
Did you read about their upcoming tour together? It’s generating a lot of buzz. I’m thinking about buying a couple of tickets.
Whenever Foxworthy gets on stage, he makes rednecks comfortable. Rednecks get Goosebumps, when Larry the Cable Guy comes to the stage. Without question, the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? host is a much safer bet than the Delta Farce. Sometimes, Larry the Cable Guy embarrasses you.
But they can’t say he cheats you. As a standup comic, the Cable Guy still stands as one of the best buys in my book of comedy. What is more, this generation coming up is arrogant and entitled.

Back in Larry’s day, children respected their elders. Nowadays, nobody values anything. I like Larry because like Kevin James, he sweats the small stuff. In other words, the relatable comic cherishes the tiniest of kind gestures. Clearly, society has changed too quickly. Does Jeff Foxworthy lose the message to his story as a result?
I admire how Jeff doesn’t aimlessly throw jokes at you. The man pitches his material like baseball legend Randy Johnson with crazy velocity. While he’s on the mound, his opponents fear for their livelihoods.
Both comics appeal to blue-collar workers. But, I believe white, pink, and green collar workers can value their celebrity offerings. They have a ton to offer the comedy sphere.

If you’re going to a Monster Truck Rally or WWE tournament, tag along with Larry. If you’re attending a hockey match, Jeff is your guy . Although they are both similar, we must value their differences too.
For what it’s worth, Jeff Foxworthy doesn’t stay in character. On the other hand, the Cable Guy is a marketing invention designed to spruce up ticket prices. Anyway, Larry busts your gut all the same.
If Larry is comedy’s Kenny Chesney, that makes Foxworthy Blake Shelton. After a long day of work, you deserve to play their comedy on Blu-ray. I bet a donkey, you’ll laugh your ass off.
In a crowded field, they have mastered their brands and distinguished their art forms. How did Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy reach top status? With your help… these comedians became the cream of the crop.
They wouldn’t get anywhere without a dedicated Southern fandom. Truly, they have followers all around the country and the world even. But, you can’t deny the power of Southern hospitality, which brings me to my final question. Who is more country?

Appreciate the Comedic Genius of Kevin James

BY: GURU JAY
I’m firmly against censorship. I admire celebrities that take chances. Don’t you appreciate comedians, because they say whatever the hell they want to say? If everybody is politically correct society as we know it is over!

I like Kevin James because he’s upbeat and all over the place. He takes his audience into his own little world like a hostage taker. He won’t let go of you until he gets what he wants.
Do you watch King of Queens reruns? That TV show has it all. King of Queensdoesn’t shortchange you, in large part because of Kevin James.
I’m singing his praises because he’s one of the best comics left standing. Do you remember Last Comic Standing? Did you know that Kevin James was discovered on a similar show called Star Search?
You know Kevin kept winning. And don’t we love winners? Though his TV show ran its course, he had an amazing ride filming movies. No matter how corny the plots may be, James makes it happen.

I’m not saying Botox but Kevin James looks younger than his age. God blesses some people with great genes. What is more, Kevin is comfortable in his skin.
He plays minor roles like Hitch. And he leads the way in movies such as Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Zoo Keeper. Did you see Grownups and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry?
I believe Adam Sandler and Kevin James push each other to the extreme. If you ask me, they’re both great comedians, but James is better. Sandler comes across as insensitive at times. You rarely read about Kevin James being a bigot, because he stays away from controversy. 
Still, you appreciate the comic because he delivers beefy material. Plus, he presents jokes in a professional manner. The comedian proves it is possible to have fun, without making fun of your audience.

Appreciate the comedic genius of Kevin James.

Who Is the Funniest Amy? Amy Poehler Vs. Amy Schumer

BY: GURU JAY

If you don’t exercise your funny bone, you risk losing your sense of humor. Next time you workout on the treadmill watch a funny clip of Amy Poehler or Amy Schumer. Who is the best blonde comic?
The comedy world is shifting on the axis of comediennes. Comics consider Amy Poehler as one of the best improv acts in the business. Moreover, Amy Schumer’s standup prowess compares to Jerry Seinfeld and Louis CK.
I must disclose I’m a big Saturday Night Live fan. I’ve admired Amy Poehler for a long time. Her Hillary Clinton impersonation is flawless. Although I wasn’t a Park & Recreation addict, sometimes I checked on the Baby Mama actor.
I recently finished watching back-to-back Schumer standup specials. She may have stolen some jokes from Aziz Ansari, but I don’t care. That’s how comedians play their games.

Right now, hot chicks have monopolized comedy. We have Whitney Cummings, Rebel Wilson, Sarah Silverman, and Tina Fey to support. Who can forget Amy’s Secretary Clinton alongside Tina’s Governor Palin on SNL?

Will the blonde reprise her role as presidential candidate when the election cycle comes and goes? Or will a newcomer take the gig? If it were up to me, Amy would impersonate Hillary forever.
I believe Poehler is underrated and Schumer is overrated. The younger blonde still has a lot left to prove. Can Schumer’s onstage success translate over onscreen? Can Poehler perform stronger standup?
Sometimes Schumer seems desperate for attention. You rarely see Eddie Murphy voluntarily making headlines. Let’s blame Kathy Griffin, whose whole strategy consists of shocking people and going overboard.
In all fairness, it’s too early to do an unbiased comparison of the comedians. Plus, Poehler has already established her calling cards with SNL and P&R. So, let’s do a 2 for 1 bundle of joy. Continue tuning in to see Inside Amy Schumer. In this competitive arena, Schumer is currently overcoming obstacles.

How Jamie Foxx Became Extraordinary

BY: GURU JAY


Ordinary people settle for mediocrity. Extraordinary individuals believe in their abilities and never get complacent. Jamie Foxx became extraordinary by making his dreams come true.
Do you watch the Jamie Foxx show? That sitcom serves as perfect example of Foxx’s trajectory. From the beginning, determined and ambitious Jamie King chased Francesca (Fancy) all around the hotel. In the finale, Jamie marries Fancy and all is well.
At my elementary school, classmates and I would practice Jamie Foxx’s tagline during recess. The genius of Jamie’s comedy is that it’s capable of reaching everybody. Have you seen the Annie remake starring the multitalented celebrity?

Anyone who can perform standup comedy, act in a variety of roles, and sing Hip-Hop with perfection is special. Furthermore, the complete entertainer hosts a radio program called the Foxx Hole.
Plus, the actor/singer/comedian tickles the ebonies and ivories similar to Alicia Keys. You see Jamie enjoys making money and the celebrity’s creativity is off the charts. People give their undivided attention to Foxx because he has established himself as a one-stop entertainment shop.

If you still don’t believe Jamie Foxx isn’t extraordinary tell that to the Grammys, Golden Globes, and Oscars committees because they all awarded him the highest honors. Do you think Jamie is a better actor, comedian, or singer? I considered him best at acting, then singing, and lastly comedy.
The fact of the matter is Jamie can do it all exceptionally well. Like Jim Carrey and Jennifer Lopez, Kennan Ivory Wayans and In Living Color opened opportunities for Foxx. Plus, Def Comedy Jam gained the comedian more exposure. Watching Jamie perform is like seeing LeBron James play basketball.

What are your favorite Jamie Foxx films? I recommend Ray, the Soloist, Law Abiding Citizen, and Django Unchained. Because of his authentic gifts, Jamie Foxx belongs in the conversation among the greatest entertainers of all time.

The Martin Lawrence Entertainment Effect

The Martin Lawrence effect is larger than comedy. Martin Lawrence transformed entertainment via television, movies, and popular culture. The great comedian is the best of his generation. Furthermore, Martin is one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
Martin remembers where he started and knows how to finish. He entertains the masses as if they’re one person. Everyone enjoys Martin’s sitcom reruns and standup specials.
1st Amendment Standup showcased upcoming comics. Because Lawrence cultivated talent, the comedian indirectly influences the entertainment world. Regardless of your preferences, Martin Lawrence proves he is the man! Starring in movies ranging from Rated G to Rated R, Martin makes everybody laugh.

Comedy needed a message and a higher power made Martin Lawrence a messenger. Over the years I’ve watched Martin mature into a living legend. His comedy special Run Tell Dat rivals Eddie Murphy’s Delirious and Katt William’s Kattpacalypse.
Initially, I wanted to write a comparison article but after seeing Lawrence’s Inside the Actors Studio, I decided against it realizing his unique character. Truly, Martin Lawrence is one of a kind. How does the Joker throw out an Ace of Spades every hand? Channeling his creativity, craziness is Martin’s strong suit. 
Through the years Martin managed to keep busy. Even Kevin Hart can’t challenge Martin’s depth of work and countless contributions. The original Def Comedy Jam host steps out on stage like Floyd Mayweather, Jr. moves in the boxing ring.
Moreover, Martin Lawrence seems larger than life because of his unmistakable charisma. Like Richard Pryor, the comedic actor appears affable. The Martin sitcom opened doors for Wayans Brothers, Jamie Foxx, and Steve Harvey.
The best Martin Lawrence movies include: Life, Big Mommas, Bad Boys, Blue Streak, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, Death at a Funeral, National Security, and Wild Hogs. Name your favorites in the comments section. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

ABC Celebrity comedy Conan O'Brien David Letterman Funny Guru Jay Hollywood Jay Leno Jimmy Fallon Jimmy Kimmel late show NBC SNL Stephen Colbert tonight show TV TV and Showbiz

Who’s Watching? Jimmy Kimmel Vs. Jimmy Fallon

BY: GURU JAY

Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t go on live, though they call his show Jimmy Kimmel Live. Imagine Saturday Night Live prerecording episodes. Despite this misleading title, I shamefully watch Kimmel more often than the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Overall, Kimmel built a better platform because the offbeat comedian surrounds himself with terrific talents from Cousin Sal to Guillermo to Matt Damon. Fallon works harder and relies on himself more than others. Sometimes, Fallon seems exhausted as if he’s burning out like birthday candles in Antarctica.
Kimmel’s sense of humor is more sustaining, although Fallon is the most entertaining  What will happen when Stephen Colbert takes over after David Letterman? Can Colbert compete with awaken forces Fat Jimmy and Slim Jim? Who’s ratings will nosedive?

From this point forward I’ll occasionally address Kimmel as Big Jimmy and Fallon as Slim Jim. Big Jimmy built his show from scratch, while Slim Jim took part of a hostile takeover. Conan O’Brien should have been bigger than Johnny Carson. Is that the real reason why Jay Leno stalled Conan’s initiation ruining the Tonight show’s ratings and standing? 

I understand Conan has a huge ego, but Colbert’s ego isn’t any larger. O’Brien was simply the best. In fact, Conan was ABC’s worst nightmare.
Slim Jim is highly creative and wildly talented. But Fallon took a shortcut on the roads to riches- road blocking Conan O’Brien. NBC’s executives have made disgusting decisions. Although Fallon serves as a wonderful host, look at how this network treated past hosts and tell me if Slim Jim won’t get eaten alive.
In the end, Big Jimmy is victorious because he’s well established in Hollywood. The real debate is whether the new CBS Late Show with Stephen Colbert can put the Tonight Show to bed. While I’m a Jimmy Fallon fan, I won’t watch NBC until they act right.

Actors Adam Sandler Ben Stiller Celebrity comedians comedy David Spade Eddie Murphy Funny Funny or Die Hollywood Jerry Seinfeld Larry David Movies Tim Allen TV TV and Showbiz Will Ferrell Will Smith

Who’s Better? Jerry Seinfeld Vs. Adam Sandler

BY: GURU JAY

Is Jerry Seinfeld or Adam Sandler funnier? Or should I ask who is luckier? They’re both talented comedians. But, take away Seinfeld’s TV show and he’s average.
Sandler is funnier because his funny bone extends 3 extra inches. Seinfeld is luckier since his sitcom guarantees cash. Some say Sandler is overpaid.
Let’s distinguish between comedic actors and comedians. There’s a difference between scripted sitcoms and live standup routines. Other great comedians constantly get overlooked in this area.
The media doesn’t publicize Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, and Tim Allen enough. That’s why Ferrell created Funny or Die. That’s also why Allen does Chevrolet commercials. For what it’s worth, Seinfeld signed on for Microsoft advertisements.
The comedy business isn’t for the faint of heart. Though Seinfeld and Sandler receive more attention, they pushed their brands hard. Jerry promoted the Bee movie nonstop. And Adam kept on pushing despite a few box office blunders.
Jerry Seinfeld and Adam Sandler are two of the best comedic actors in cinematic history alongside the likes of Eddie Murphy and Will Smith. As a side note, no one really views Smith as a comedic actor.
Do you consider Adam and Jerry great comedians?
What if I threw Ben Stiller into the mix? Would you rather see Ben and Jerry do standup or eat their ice cream? David Spade is another underrated comedian Hollywood doesn’t fully support and appreciate.

What are your favorite Adam Sandler movies? I recommend Grown Ups, Funny People, Happy Gilmore, and Mr. Deeds. Looking back on their careers, not many celebrities are luckier than Sandler and Seinfeld.
Credit Adam’s agent for negotiating lucrative contracts. Thank Larry David for creating Jerry Seinfeld’s sitcom. Do you like Seinfeld better than Everybody Loves Raymond?
I respect TV legends; and, Jerry Seinfeld certainly fits the bill. Also, I admire great comedians; and, Adam Sandler is exceptional. So, who’s better? Well, isn’t Adam always first?
