50 Cent on Carson Daly - the Perfect Show

Carson Daly. What a character. I went to his show last night in Burbank. Oh don’t worry. I got in for free. There are these ads on the internet about going to shows for free the day of the show which is absolutely fantastic. I sit in the car for two and a half hours on the 405 freeway to show up at NBC Studios in Burbank to sit through two and a half hours of Carson Daly making “jokes” as the audience manager like to call them, and looking awkward on stage . . .for free. But it was soooo worth it.

First up was Marlon Wayans. Now I think he is really funny in person even thoug some of the ideas for his recent films have been, well not up to par. But who’s is? Either way he was a trip on the show. He talked about his new Christmas special airing on Nicktoons on December 16th, 2006 called “Thugaboo”. What a surprise. A black Christmas cartoon special made by black people with “thug” in the title. Another way of making fun of the ghetto life style at black people’s expense. At least only 400 of Marlon’s brothers and sisters helped him come up with this idea. The other 300 were out buying Playstation 3’s for Marlon’s son. But to each his own. The Christmas Special looks pretty funny actually, at least from the clip, but that’s what they said about “Saving Christmas”.

Now this was for the 1st show airing on next Thursday, the 14th. They said some band called Firstleaf or something was going to play but they didn’t! Though thoroughly disappointed that this band I’d never heard of was not playing, I enjoyed listento the house band which was amazing good. Way to go house band!
