  • Walter Latham Biography
    Walter Latham Often referred to as "The King of Comedy,” Walter Latham is grateful for the humble upbringing and everyday challenges that shaped his early life, and instilled in him a fierce passion that led to his success as a business mogul and humanitarian. Born to a single mother in East New York, Brooklyn, Latham soon found himself in a similar situation, becoming a father at the young age of 18, and struggling to get by with odd jobs and a brief stint in the United States Air Force. At 20, he caught a break with a permanent position at the American Express Call Center in Greensboro, NC and was thrilled to finally provide healthcare for his son, even though he knew he was bound for something greater. Inspiration soon struck Latham, after attending a performance by his childhood friend, MC Lyte, when he realized his calling was to produce concerts. He borrowed money from his mother and produced his first concert in a nightclub. The headline act didn’t show and Latham had to refund the patrons their money but what he learned from this unfortunate experience would change his path forever. Latham decided to produce more concerts but mitigate his losses by soliciting sponsorships. He wrote and mailed 50 letters to various corporations about promoting a southeast tour with the hottest comedians. When Coors Brewing Company expressed interest, Latham soon found himself, at age 21, standing in a boardroom of top executives pitching his comedy idea. His first comedy tour featured Chris Tucker and Bill Bellamy and Coors was so impressed they asked Latham to do another.

  • LATINO COMEDY, GEORGE LOPEZ WEEK 11 PART 2.Pptx
    11/10/13 Part 2 J November something… Dr. Gilbert Estrada Keep These Questions in Mind as you go through this presentation Is the following Comedy “Latino “? Why or why not? Why was it funny or not? Was it racist and/or did it perpetuate certain Latino stereotypes? GIVE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES FROM THE VIDEOS IN THIS PRESENTATION. Was it accurate? Why is the Latino Comedy you’ve seen important? What are the positive and negative attributes given to Latinos in the following comedy skits? 1 11/10/13 Student Learning Objectives for Today You should know… 1. Chicano y Latino Comedy - During presentation: ask yourself. - Who has the power? - Who is racializing who? - Is it accurate or is it still racist? - What are the comedians trying to teach you? - What are the positive and/or negative stereotypes - Why is it funny? Disclaimer… Your Professors and Long Beach City College do not necessarily agree with the following comedy….. 2 11/10/13 Relax….. it’s comedy….. ??????????????????????????? How are you suppose to interpret the comedy we examine? 3 11/10/13 When examining race and/or ethnicity, ask yourselves… Who has the power? How are Latinos racialized? What are the subject matters? Why is this important? 4 11/10/13 What other Chicanos/ Latinos are found on mainstream T.V. / media, especially in the 1970s? Answer Almost none. In fact, Cheech might be considered the first “Mexican- American” movie star that actually portrays/manifests some Mexican American Elements. That is, there were only a few Mexican-American actors (esp. up to the 1980s), and most American audiences didn’t know they were Mexican-American.
