The BET show "What Up With That?" is back with a whole new episode.
-- Spoilers --
The big thing, for me, was the appearance of Jackie Rogers Jr. I'm sure the audience doesn't know who that is, but "Jackie Rogers Jr's $100,000 Jackpot Wad" is an overlooked classic sketch. When Martin Short appeared on Late Night this week, The Roots played the "Jackie Rogers Jr." theme as his walk-on music.
But the big thing, for everyone else, is the fact that Samuel L. Jackson cursed on network television. It's muted on the internet clip, but you can see him say the F word. Then, off-camera he says "Some bull----!" causing Keenan Thompson to reply, "Come on now. That costs money". And, yes, in the live broadcast those words definitely did go out.
I gotta wonder what he's thinking. There's a script and he only would have one line so it's obviously blatant (as opposed to just a flub). And he has to know it's being broadcast live because that's right there IN the title of the show... I'd be surprised if he's not banned from the show because... well... that's going to cost money.
