/Sarc warning:
Was the hospital receiving all the wounded playing Van McCoy’s “Do the Hustle” on its Musak system?
How about the real Nipsey Russell saying his famed “Oh Yeah”?
I guess Jussie “ The Hustler” Smollet’s favorite movie is “The Hustle” but he ain’t no Robert Redford.
Maybe he thinks he can get a role in any remake of “American Hustle” but I can only see him in “American Psycho”.
Or he can become “famous” again by doing the shower scene in “Psycho” where the killer is really a woman who hates bad acting.
Talking about bad jokes, here’s one I just made up. Big Pat McCormick (the Irish comedian) and his (Japanese-American) co-comedian Pat Morita (best later known as Mr. Miyagi) ) are walking down the stairs when Morita slips and goes flying through the air. McCormick looks up at him and says, “There’s a little nip in the air tonight”.
That’s what the patrons at the Butte, Montana strip joint said when Stormy Daniels put on her act in mid-winter.
Bata-bing, bata-shoes
To self. Russell didn’t say “Oh yeah” during his act. It was another black comedian (in the same time period as Russell and Slappy White, who did. Don’t remember his name but he looked a little like actor Ernie Hudson).
These were some of the first major black comedians to make primetime TV and they were funny, not nasty, crude, or playing the race-card. They were playing their “talent” and we loved it.
