BlindGossip – This nighttime television show has received a lot of flack because its cast has so few people of color that white cast members sometimes pretend to be Hispanic or black characters. To remedy this, they will be bringing aboard two African American cast members, both of whom really need the work. And, although the show is known for bringing aboard fresh young talent, both of these performers are nudging the half-century mark. The female will be coming directly from a shuttered former competitor. The male is being hired primarily for name recognition, although his career has paled in comparison to that of his sibling. Name 1. The Show 2. The Female 3. The Male
Charlie Murphy for the male.
that’s what I thought as well.
1. Charlie Murphy, older brother of Eddie Murphy – Charlie was on The Howard Stern Show last week discussing SNL.
2. Debra Wilson from MAD TV.
Saturday Night Live
Damon Wayans, Debra Wilson (MadTV)
Damon Wayans was fired from SNL years back. I doubt very much that Lorne Michaels would welcome back someone who doesn’t toe Michaels’ line.
If it is SNL the other show that the woman would be from would be MadTv…
Debra Wilson?
Yep Debra Wilson for the female. It’s about time – I’m tired of watching Keenan Thompson play every. single. black character.
yes! SNL, Charlie Murphy not Damon because he’s pretty much up there with his brother. & Debra from Madtv
Wesley Snipes
SNL for the show. Wouldn’t it be great if they were referring to Garret Morris and Eddie Murphy.
Charlie Murphy and Debra Wilson FTW. Howard Stern asked Charlie Murphy whether he would ever do SNL because of the fact that his brother was on 30 years ago. He said he definitely would.
SNL, MadTV and Chris Rock’s brother?
SNL
let’s guess Charley Murphy & hope for Mo Collins
Mo Collins isn’t a “person of color.”
On the Charlie Murphy/Debra Wilson bandwagon.
Love her Whitney Houston impression.
YES! That woman can play Whitney better than Whitney!
btw: dig the new layout!
wait. can’t get HOME from here!
ignore me. figured it out. like it!
Tony Rock is a good guess…
I could see Tony Rock doing SNL more than Charlie Murphy, Charlie has some desent things to his credit. Tony Rock is just a two-bit “comic” who only gets things by using his last name.
Omar Gooding for the male, read it on… TVGuide?
Oops, sorry, my bad, not Omar Gooding, he’s on a new show, and also is not pushing 50. Mi scusi.
I hope the show is Grey Anatomy, cant think of the actors.
I like the new look, blog template perhaps..
Glee!
Anyway, I’ll say it again. SNL is the show. Debra Wilson is the female. And I like Charlie Murphy for the male. Couldn’t be one of the Wayans… it specifically says “in comparison to that of his sibling”… singular. There’s no Wayans brother that’s particularly more successful that any other.
The guy is either Charlie Murphy or Omar Gooding.
I’m thinking it is one of the CSI or Law & Order shows and the male is Eric Roberts. He’s older and used to be pretty famous but is totally overshadowed by his sister Julia.
Dur….
Eric roberts is african-american?
show: SNL
female: some female from MADtv, i never watched it so i couldn’t give a name
male: Charlie Murphy
Exactly my thought. Charlie Murphy!
[...] bringing aboard fresh young talent, both of these performers are nudging the half-century mark. (Blind Gossip) MadTV’s Debra Wilson? And Chris Rock’s brother Tony? Or Eddie Murphy’s brother [...]
I wish the woman is Debra, but the blind item said “directly from” a shuttered competitor. The last black woman on MadTV was Erica Ash from the Big Gay Sketch Show… so, she’s another possibility.
I think that the new woman on SNL is Erica Ash, even though I’m hoping it’s Debra Wilson. Ash was the last Black woman on MadTV, and the blind item says that the new person is coming “directly from” a shuttered competitor. Wilson is too funny for SNL, but should be more famous than she is.

If this is charlie murphy and debra wilson I may actually start watching SNL again.
30 Rock?
I dont understand how SNL was described the same way before and I couldnt believe it because SNL has always had a lot of black actors(I also heard they were unfair to women,but they seemed to always have their share..)..I thought before they had to be referring to MADTV as being racist;because they did have actors pretending to be Obama that wasnt black and Japanese etc..but MAD TV is no longer on?!
Nighttime television? Hmmmm everybody names funny shows here but I go for SOUTHLAND with Ben McKenzie b/c this one got a lot of flack for only having white cops.
I really lived up to my name with this one, for some reason I thought of a show like Grey’s Anatomy or something, LOL.
