Katt Williams' uncensored 'Hustle'
Posted at midnight, Jan. 11.
Are you ready for a wild and crazy road trip?
If you’re easily offended, don't turn to Comedy Central's "Katt Williams: American Hustle" at 9 p.m. Sunday.
It'll make your ears burn.
Comedian Williams and his comic pals--Luenell, Red Grant and Melanie Comarcho--take a no-holds-barred, cross-country drive to Chicago in the concert film.
Luenell’s inappropriate performance at an old folks’ home is pure gross-out genius. I just can't share any of it with you here.
When they reach Chicago, Williams delivers a sharp show about celebrity, sex and drugs.
The only downside to the film is all the comedians’ overuse of a certain word I won't repeat. Other than that, it’s an over-the-top, offending but hilarious ride.

Hughley not working as host of HBO's 'Def Comedy Jam'
Posted at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 4.
D.L. Hughley (left), who I loved on NBC's ill-fated "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," doesn't do anythign for me as the new host of "Russell Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam."
Like many of the comics on the new season’s first show, which airs at 9 p.m. Sunday on HBO, Hughley's material is flat. Most of the comics go on and on about porn, which doesn’t offend me. I watch a little ... well, nevermind.
Their bits just don’t make me laugh.
The episode should have been devoted to its stand-out, Gina Yashere. The British comic questions why rappers are into the mafia, with “Scarface” and “The Godfather” posters in their homes.
“The mafia don’t like black people,” she tells rappers. “Have you ever seen a black Soprano?”
TiVo it and watch for Yashere.
