Shots fired!
When asked by a TMZ photographer if Al Sharpton thought late night TV needed more Black hosts he said yes with no hesitation. (As if we thought for a second that the civil rights activist turned radio/ TV personality would say no) Al was asked who he thought was worthy of the coveted television slot and he had several names in mind but one candidate didn’t fit Al’s mold, in more ways than 1!

Oh Al Sharpton… It wouldn’t be a true Q & A with Al without his brutal honesty. TMZ caught up with him briefly in NYC and asked him his opinion on having more Black personalities on late night Television. Among the list that Al approved was Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Kenan Thompson. A little while back Kenen did an Al Sharpton impersonation and it appears Al Sharpton is still a little salty about it.

He says for Kenan to really nail the impersonation he has to drop some weight and to be a success on late night TV dropping 50 pounds is non negotiable! He says Kenans appearance would encourage late night viewers to “eat cake”. This comes as a bit of a shock since not to long ago the reverend was weighting in at 305 pounds. How quick we are to forget…
