Headline: Mo’Nique Speaks Out on Her Friend, Fellow Comedian Being Shot Dead in Mississippi

The article says that Mo'Nique is an "actress and comedian" but she doesn't look like she has the slightest sense of humor. But I bet she will be very interested in any free buffet following the funeral service.

Also says that the late Reggie Carroll was “The Knockout King of Comedy,”

WJM is sending Mary Richards to cover the funeral. Could be another Chuckles the Clown incident. We sure hope so. video, 2 min 36 sec

Dear Abolish Tenure:

I'm sorry to correct you,but W-O-K-E,our new call letters--after nbc bought WJM out a couple years ago--does not acknowledge black crime since the takeover. There is no need to send Miss Richards to Baltimore--or any city that's worse off than Minneapolis.

(Hi,this is Ted Baxter. That's right--if Mary's going to get raped and killed,it will be right here in good old Minneapolis.)

Thank you for your suggestion.

Sincerely,
Lou Grant
Executive Producer,W-O-K-E news
