Host Frank Caliendo (Fox Pre-Game, MadTV) the show with a host of impressions and then turns it over to Rob Ca (Last Comic Standing), Alonzo Bodden, Bonnie McFarlane, and Gary G This album is pretty hit and miss. While Frank Caliendo is easily the star included, he just doesn’t translate well to audio. Without seeing the impressions it falls short of the expectation he brings. Rob Cantr delivers a solid set as does Gary Gulman, who has a laugh out loud a extremely logical bit about the technologically advanced state of the cookie empire. Bonnie McFarlane’s set is the weakest by far but I’m l wondering she might translate better with video as well. Her delivery draw and comes off as uninspired BUT if her body language may mak difference. Alonzo Bodden on the other hand absolutely steals the show offering non-stop hilarity with bits on single men and Bed, Bath, and Beyond, stereotyping, and his love for psychotic women. Every minute of his is laugh out loud funny, partly because of its exaggerated nature and because you know that most of it is true!

12Th National A&E Journalism Awards
Ben Mankiewicz Tarana Burke Danny Trejo Quentin Tarantino The Luminary The Impact Award The Visionary The Distinguished Award Award Storyteller Award 2019 TWELFTH ANNUAL Ann-Margret The Legend Award NATIONAL ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALISM AWARDS LOS ANGELES PRESS CLUB 12TH ANNUAL National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards A Letter From the Press Club President Good evening and welcome to the 12th annual National Arts & Entertain- ment Journalism Awards. Think about how much the entertainment industry has changed since the Press Club introduced these awards in 2008. Arnold Schwarzenegger was our governor, not a Terminator. Netflix sent you DVDs in the mail. The iPhone was one year old. Fast forward to today and the explosion of technology and content that is changing our lives and keeping journalists busy across the globe. Entertainment journalism has changed as well, with all of us taking a much harder look at how societal issues influence Hollywood, from workplace equality and diversity to coverage of political events, the impact of social media and U.S.-China rela- tions. Your Press Club has thrived amid all this. Participation is way up, with more Chris Palmeri than 600 dues-paying members. The National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards have grown and changed as well. Tonight we’re in a ballroom in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, but in 2008 the awards took place in the Steve Allen Theater, the Press Club’s old home in East Hollywood. That building has since been torn down. Our first event in 2008 featured a cocktail party with no host and only 111 entries in the competition.

Stand-up comedy is among the least socially proscribed forms of public expression in contemporary US, and comedians often talk about “sensitive” topics (including race and gender) in direct and humorous ways. Some offer a social critique of hegemonic discourses; they “push the edge.” I argue that by looking at “edges” of hegemonic discourses of race and gender, and how comedians push them, we can deepen our understanding of how racism-white supremacy, sexism, and heteronormativity presently operate in the US, and how to challenge them. I focus on comedians who challenge racism and sexism through joke material and in their affective and performative work on stage. Key ways they do so include: performing slavery as ii anti-racist critique; targeting genocide and colonialism; challenging the “terrorist label” and racialized masculinities, and through female embodiment.
