If you are unaware, the American Black Film Festival is happening this weekend in New York and while many are there for the films there are those who are there for the comedy.
While there, we heard that there was a panel for Showrunners titled The Life Of A Showrunner which featured Janine Sherman-Barrois (Criminal Minds, ER, Third Watch), Mara Brock Akil (Being Mary Jane, The Game, Girlfriends), Salim Akil (Being Mary Jane, The Game), and Chris Spencer (Executive Producer & Co Creator of Real Husbands of Hollywood).
We were able to capture some footage from the panel with our sister network America Color TV, and when asked what he thought about performing comedy and about the comedians who think they can do stand up because they are internet famous, this is what he said (and his response was hilarious);
