Back in the day BET’s Comic View launched quite a few comedic careers and while it was not as popular when it was revived previously, I for one hope it can return to the hey days of the show. You know back when DL Hughley was hosting it and he would throw out a, “You need Jesus!” or “You’re messing it up for everybody!”

Sommore is back again – which personally disappoints me – sorry I am down for equal opportunity (and equal pay Dear GOP!), but I do not enjoy it when female comedians feel they have to get as nasty as the boys. I know it ain’t fair, but it’s just my .02. Besides BET is not HBO so there will be some boundaries.

Check out the clip to see the faces on BET’s Comic View Part 3 or 5 I am not sure …. will you be watching?
