RACIAL SATIRE AND CHAPPELLE’S SHOW by KATHARINE P. ZAKOS Under the Direction of Mary Stuckey ABSTRACT This thesis examines Chappelle's Show’s use of racial satire to challenge dominant stereotypes and the effectiveness of that satire as a tool to achieve perspective by incongruity. I use a variation of D’Acci’s circuit of media study model to examine the institutional challenges and limitations on the show due to the context in which it was created, produced, and distributed; to interrogate the strategies employed by the show’s writers/creators to overcome these challenges through the performance of race; and to analyze the audience’s understanding of the use of racial satire through a reception study of the show’s audience. I argue that using satire often has the unintended consequence of crossing the line between “sending up” a behavior and supporting it, essentially becoming that which it is trying to discount, though this is not to say that its intrinsic value is therefore completely negated.

PJ Lifestyle « Sistine Chapel 3D Virtual Tour – A Must Click ‘Long Story Short’: Colin Quinn’s 75-Minute History of the World Comedian Colin Quinn has been around a long time. How long? This long: Yikes. Quinn has come a long way since 1990, but unlike some of the comedians he came up with, like Jon Stewart and Ben Stiller, his career has been a series of, shall we say, lateral moves. Sure, he was the “Weekend Update” guy on Saturday Night Live for five years, but his movie career never quite took off ( A Night at the Roxbury , anyone?). He took up stand-up comedy after he quit drinking and needed something to take up his sudden surfeit of sober free time.

Madison & Vine
Advance Praise for Madison & Vine “A superb analysis of the intersection of Madison and Vine. Donaton thoroughly explores it in a concise, well-documented style. This convergence is the future financial model of the entertainment and advertising industries.” —Mark Burnett, Creator/Executive Producer of “The Apprentice” and “Survivor” “Scott Donaton does more than lay out a road map of the future. He makes you smell the sweat on the upper lip of every advertising executive trying to save his bacon in the scary, dangerous intersection of our great- est cultural forces—advertising and the entertainment media that helps this nation sell itself to itself. This book explicates the inexplicable, sure, but it also fills your imagination with the metallic taste of fear that grips the buyer, the agent, the programming executive whose next car could be a used Kia if they don’t figure out what the hell is going on. A word to those who want some action in this crazily converging techno- centric world: read this book or be left behind.” —Stanley Bing, bestselling author of What Would Machiavelli Do? and FORTUNE magazine columnist “Scott Donaton was one of the first to call attention to this space and now he’s written the definitive book about the mutual benefit that happens when filmmak- ers and marketers collaborate.” —Harvey Weinstein, President, Miramax Film Corp. “Unique and insightful, Scott provides an insider’s look into the evolving business models of entertainment and advertising. Madison & Vine has forced execs to reconsider the power of branded entertainment and serves as a guide for all involved to wake up and create strategically streamlined marketing programs that make sure dollars deliver on ROl.
