Pick-ups, 1 re-shoot and interviews. Comedian/Social Critic Paul Mooney in the works!

This piece of news was so exciting, I almost sent it out last night-

Paul Mooney will be sitting down with us for a brief interview mid-September for DMW.

Comedian Paul Mooney

I don't need to give this man an introduction...but let's just say he wrote for Richard Pryor, and gave a lot of new comedians at the time a shot, like oh, I don't know, Robin Williams, John Witherspoon and Sandra Bernhard to name a few.

He wrote for "In Living Color." He more recently wrote and guest starred on the Chapelle Show, you know, Dave Chapelle...

I  had my people (me...) contact his people and was happy to hear he enjoyed the idea.  I've been a fan of Mooney's comedy and writing, before I even knew he wrote it; my father was a huge fan of Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor and he introduced me to Paul Mooney's name after I had seen the work.


What do I like about his work, well I like that it doesn't even seem like he's tries to write, it just flows out of his mouth, his critique is more observational and right on the nose at times, it's scary and altogether funny.

I'm very much looking forward to hearing his commentary.  Stay tuned for more news!
