Bomani Jones: 

Charlie and Donnell Are Sellouts

Last week, I asked whether Charlie Murhpy and Donnell Rawlings were selling out by hosting the show in Dave's stead. They gotta eat, so I'd never be too critical. Plus, I don't know if they're Dave's boys or were just his co-workers (employees).

After the last show, I'm comfortable saying it's the latter.

Here's the story--Comedy Central decided to televise a sketch where Dave plays mistrel-like pixies that pop in people's heads when they're in situations where their races make things uncomfortable. For example, a sambo pops up when Dave is trying to decide whether to order chicken on an airplane.

I think it's a pretty good premise. I actually wrote something about it a few years ago. Anyway, the sketch wasn't bad.

But see, the sketch is also infamous. This is the sketch that Dave says made him reconsider what he was doing on the show. He said he saw someone laughing in a way that made him uncomfortable, so it was time to jet.
