For All the Black Nerds Out There – Check Out Danny Glover
Have no idea where I have been but Danny Glover is the next hottest comedian. He is currently on NBC’s Community (never watch) and was a writer for 30 Rock. This is one of the funniest bits I have seen in a long time. And thank god it’s safe to be a nerd and black. […]
