Mo'tel Williams: "It's the showdown round of Negro-Rigged Jeopardy! Contestants are anxious to answer questions in the category 'African Americans: Love or Hate.' First question:

"These phenomenal sisters, who won a combined 14 grand-slam tennis titles, captured the attention of the world with their flamboyance, athleticism and eccentric daddy."

Contestant number 1: (presses buzzer) "Who are the Williams sisters?"

Mo'tel Williams: "Correct!

"This 'world's greatest' athlete would always fuss and fight with that sports announcer on ABC's 'Wide World of Sports.'"

Contestant number 1: (presses buzzer) "Who is Muhammad Ali?"

Mo'tel Williams: "Correct! Alright now, contestants number 2 and 3, you're a little slow on the buzzer today!

"This former rental-car spokesperson, sports announcer and acquitted murder suspect is back in the news, accused of armed robbery."

Contestant number 1: (aggressively slams buzzer) "Who is O.J. Simpson!"

Mo'tel Williams: "Correct!

"This Pin Point, Ga., native and affirmative-action benefactor was involved in a controversial Senate hearing—labeled a 'high-tech lynching'—that almost prevented his confirmation as associate justice of the Supreme Court. And to this day, he is still against affirmative action."

All: (angrily slam their buzzers) "Who is Clarence Thomas!"

Mo'tel Williams: Correct! You all win!

Congrats on your move to the ATL. After sitting in heavy traffic and breathing bad air all day, you'll be back. So, who's gonna take your spot, Ray Carter?

Ken, I'm shocked you're leaving us! What does Alanta (not Atlanta) have we don't? First, Jerry Springer loses his prime time spot. Then they tell me Pro Wrestling ain't real. The Spice Girls breaks up. Michael Jackson almost goes to jail then loses his will to perform. R. Kelly may still go to jail. Though I admit he's doing an excellent job of delaying the final conclusion. Now you're leaving. Living is just too painful. Now we know what Sam Cooke was talking about when he said "I'm tired of living but afraid to die."

Ken will still write his JFP column, though! But we will miss him in Jackson dearly.

And I thought I was about to get his gig. Don't fret Golden Eagle. I'll wait him out. Something good is likely to happen in Gorga sooner or later and I'll still get the gig someday.
