If there’s one thing Shaq knows besides the basketball court, it’s comedy. Take one listen to Shaq Fu: Da Return. Dude is a comedic genius.

So the funny baller has decided to take his comedic instincts, money, and clout to partner with Codeblack Entertainment to produce a series called “All-Star Comedy Jam” for Showtime.

The first episode of the series featured Cedric the Entertainer and debuted on Wednesday. The second installment, hosted by D.L. Hughley, will be filmed later this month and will run in January.

Like any kid who benefitted from their parents being knocked out way too early, I remember staying up late and watching Comic View. The next day I would go to school, repeat the jokes then curse out the person who snitched on me to the teacher.

Just kidding, ya’ll. I was an angel in school.

In any event, it’s been a while since we’ve had a comedy series breakthrough and make a name for itself the way Comic View and Def Comedy Jam have.

Could Shaq’s new show make the cut?

P.S. I meant no disrespect to MC Shaquille. In fact, I had my mama buy me that album on tape for Christmas. “Biological Didn’t Bother” was my song.
