Is Saturday Night Live about to hire a Negro -- specifically this guy? Even if they mess up and don't this impressionist's profile has been raised over the past couple days.

Guess who segregates their books by race? That ain't part of no Dewey Decimal system.

The immensely unpopular New York Gov. David Patterson plans on running to keep  his job.  The White House doesn't want him to.  Patterson vs. Obama.  However it shakes out, it's all good for Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen.

First D.L. and now D.A.G.  After the cancelation of "Chocolate News" it's safe to say it's the worst of times for black fake news show hosts.

Analysts here believe the problem lied not in the concepts, but rather the execution.  Maybe Hughley and Grier weren't quite ready to take up where Chappelle left off.  We just hope that this doesn't signal the moving of black themed shows back to television ghettos.

Maybe it would have succeeded at 4:40 in the morning.

As markets around the world get pummeled on this Black... er, "African-American" Monday, the Index takes a hit behind news that Saturday Night Live, desperate to find a black comedienne to play Michelle Obama, was hoping to lure back Maya Rudolph.  Analysts here don't believe the venerable, yet long in the tooth series looked all that hard.

Saturday Night Live... the only thing that ignores black women more than black men.  What?  Okay, I couldn't help myself.
