Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer. His hilarious new comedy special “Racially Motivated” is now available on Netflix.

Arnez admits of himself “I’ve always expressed my things through mannerisms and facial expressions rather than speaking.”
Earthquake
June 28-July 1
If the key to success in Hollywood is longevity and all the Hollywood players get their ever so anticipated 15 minutes of fame, then Comedian Earthquake has to have somehow lucked up on an hour. Not only does he have the staying power, his evolution seems to make him funnier, more relevant, and in higher demand with every Twitter entry, Facebook status and stand-up performance he makes. He’s as hot as he’s always been and his fans are simmering and waiting for him to blow. “When this guy finally gets his break, I don’t want to be around to see it!” exclaims Comedian DL Hughley when referencing Comedian Earthquake’s highly anticipated career bang. One wonders if the bang is even necessary. His presence on the comedy circuit has propelled him to be one of the most beloved and adored comedians of all time… many of whom liken him to the gone too soon and never forgotten, Robin Harris.
