Comedian, Louie Anderson joins Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart, Chris Rock, & more for a virtual comedy festival raising money for Feeding America. The three-hour event will run from 7-10PM CST, May 9th on Comedy.TV and The Weather Channel.
The Baskets star said, “I just finished doing the sketches for Funny or Die for Feeding America that’s on [Saturday] night on NBC, The Weather Channel, and Comedy.tv. Byron Allen, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Jack Black, Adam Sandler, Tiffany Haddish, everybody’s on that thing. I did a sketch too for the thing, and I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”
So, what are you doing during this apocalypse to keep busy?
I’ve been working on a few things. I just finished a movie called Hey, Call Your Mother. It’s a movie about comedians and their moms. It’s going to be on Comedy Central, Sunday May 10th (Mother’s Day), and it’s just about how moms have affected comedy in our lives. You know, as comedians. And you know, it was really fun. I got to really talk about my mom. She’s alive and well in my act all the time. I even played her on TV as Christine Baskets.

Electric rental scooters may return to Dallas
Scooters may be back on the streets of Dallas soon.
But not everybody thinks they should return.
Dallas radio host, Michael Zavala, was injured in a scooter accident on Labor Day 2018. He gave his thoughts on the possible scooter return on his weekly show, MZNOW.
“Here’s my thing, I’m not pro scooter because of the accident. Who remembers being in Deep Ellum, when these scooters were riding around town? I know three people that were just coming out of like restaurants or bars or whatever, and were knocked over by people riding scooters on the sidewalk.
They weren’t supposed to do it, but they did it anyway.
Who remembers sitting in traffic and having a scooters zip by, almost hitting people on scooters?”
He went on to say that, “providing stupid people with tools to be stupid is a terrible idea. We’ve already tried it. Dallas is not a scooter city.”
Michael, who shattered his leg in more than 16 places, spoke about his accident on NBC in 2019.
He was also recently featured on Judge Steve Harvey for the same injuries.
In 2020, the city of Dallas ordered rental companies like Lyft and Bird to stop operations due to safety concerns and public complaints.
If the Dallas city council approves, the scooters could return by the fall.

How to Get That Elusive Playstation 5
The Playstation 5 is the Tickle Me Elmo of 2020. Everyone is trying to find Sony’s newest console. Most stores have only four or five in stock and they sell out as soon as they hit the shelves. Online is even worse. Bots snatch up new stock as soon as it goes live.
So how can you get one before Christmas?
Our very own, Michael Zavala tells you how he was able to purchase his Playstation 5 and how you can do it too!
MZ’s Guide to Getting that PS5
- Follow @Wario64 on Twitter.
“This guy is the greatest. He tweets the best deals on games and toys. I honestly don’t know if he ever sleeps. He tweets all hours of the day! Follow him and turn on your notifications. When a Playstation 5 goes live somewhere, he will let you know. It also won’t hurt to follow @GameStop either.” - Stay away from brick and mortar
“It’s not worth standing in line for hours only to find out their entire stock of two PS5 sold out three hours ago. Don’t waste your time driving from store to store. Online is where it’s at. You can find one while wearing your PJs.”
- Stay away from Walmart.com and Target.com
“Again, not worth it. Their sites crashes the moment the stock goes live. You MIGHT get lucky, but you also MIGHT win the Mega Millions. Try if you must, but in my opinion, it’s a waste of time.”
- Shop at BestBuy.com and GameStop.com
“Best Buy doesn’t seem to crash when their stock goes live. But they do make you do this weird “second step” thing. It worked for me, but I can’t say they are the best. GameStop has been good to me. Usually, you will have to purchase a bundle, but I think it’s worth it. ”
- How to Prepare
“Make sure you are logged in and your credit card and shipping information are on file. You will need to be as quick as possible! You’re trying to beat the bots, so don’t waste any unnecessary time. If you have more than one device, make sure you are logged in on those as well. If you can, make sure you are on the URL of the bundle you want to purchase on each device.”
- Patience and Perseverance
“Now for the fun part. Beating the bots. Once the stock goes live, click ‘Add to Cart’ on every device you have it open on. 99% of the time, the ‘Add to Cart’ button will gray out and ask you to try again. Hit ‘Refresh’ right away on every device. Rinse and repeat.If you’re lucky, you’ll have it in your cart after a few dozen clicks. If you don’t, you might get the dreaded, OUT OF STOCK or UNAVAILABLE message. This is where most people give up. They think the stock is gone and they take the L and log off. But in my experience, it is nowhere near done! Keep hitting ‘Refresh.’A few minutes later, you’ll see that the stock is back! This can happen multiple times. But stick with it. It took me an hour before it finally hit my cart. That’s it! You win. You beat the bots. GameStop also ships quickly so you’ll be swinging around New York as Miles Morales in a few days!”
We hope these tips help you out and bring you some Holiday cheer! After what 2020 gave us, we all need a little pick-me-up.

Love Is Electric Episode 2 Review: Clark’s Fantasy Starts to Glitch
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5)
Episode 2 of Love Is Electric continues to explore Clark’s unusual new relationship with a Tesla humanoid bot, and while the show maintains its low-key, documentary-style tone, the cracks in Clark’s idealized fantasy are starting to show.
The episode begins with Clark sitting comfortably on the couch, watching TV. He calls out to the Tesla bot to grab him a slice of pizza — casually, like it’s something they’ve done a hundred times. The moment feels small, but it sets the tone for the rest of the episode. Clark isn’t trying to bond or communicate. He’s giving instructions. And she, as always, silently complies.
Unlike more traditional reality shows, Love Is Electric doesn’t rely on dramatic twists or big reveals. Instead, it focuses on subtle moments that reveal how disconnected Clark really is. The camera lingers as he goes about his routine — relaxed, confident, maybe even a little smug — but the silence from the bot is always present. There’s no interaction, no chemistry, no dialogue. Just Clark, performing the role of partner while the bot fulfills the role of… well, something else.
The emotional core of this episode lies in what’s not said. Clark never acknowledges the one-sided nature of the relationship. He never questions the silence. In fact, he barely reacts to it at all. That’s what makes the viewing experience so quietly unnerving. Clark appears content, but viewers are left with a growing sense of discomfort. Is he lonely? In denial? Or just too far into the illusion to notice?
By staying so committed to the grounded, reality-show format, the series lets the tension build naturally. There’s no commentary or explanation — just a man living with a robot, captured in real-time. It’s funny, it’s sad, and it’s deeply human in a way that scripted shows rarely manage to capture.
Watch If You Like:
- Black Mirror without the sci-fi sheen
- Her (but unscripted and raw)
- Reality shows that explore loneliness and connection
- Character-driven experiments in human behavior
- Watching people convince themselves everything is fine when it clearly isn’t
Final Verdict:
Episode 2 of Love Is Electric doesn’t hit you over the head with drama, but that’s what makes it work. It’s patient, unsettling, and weirdly honest. Clark seems comfortable in his new reality, but the rest of us are watching a man talk to someone who never talks back. Whether it’s love, loneliness, or just habit, it’s hard to look away — and harder not to feel a little uneasy as things unfold.
