Bill Bellamy Returns to TV One with Jokes Competition

Bill Bellamy’s “Who’s got Jokes?” returns to TV One this fall, marking its fourth season on cable Saturday, October 10th. The veteran comedian/actor is joined by cohorts Tommy Mikal Ford and Rodney Perry to serve up fresh jokes from Las Vegas’ Luxor Hotel. Perry assumes the “Man on the Street” role, performing hilarious sketches and interviewing contestants and Las Vegas visitors. As the newly dubbed “Croupier of Comedy,” Ford decides whether contestants should lose points if their comedy routine veers into raunchy territory or exceeds the time limit.

The fourth season’s production design evokes a classic Vegas vibe, perfect for Bellamy and company to mine the famous strip’s iconic history for unforgettable laughs. Bellamy keeps the show on track and the comics on their toes with his hilarious brand of in-your-face comedy, while Perry keeps the audience in stitches with skits tied to Vegas entertainment and legends. His impressions include hysterical twists on everyone from boxing titan Don King, to illusionist Criss Angel, Siegfried and Roy, the Blue Man Group, Elvis Presley, and many others. Even the controversial, self-proclaimed “King of R&B” Bobby Brown and celebrated UNLV basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian stop by to join in the fun.

“Season 4 is by far our best effort,” says Bellamy, who serves as executive producer in addition to his hosting duties. “Amazing impromptu moments, celebrity judges, and Vegas baby! It’s going to be crazy funny! The best crop of talent mixed with the best host in the game! Let the laughs begin,” he adds.

“We finally got it right,” continues executive producer Ralph Farquhar. “Season 4 is our biggest, baddest, classiest yet. If you’re a comedy fan, you don’t want to miss hanging out with the ‘laugh pack,’ Tommy, Rodney, and the leader, Bill Bellamy in fabulous Las Vegas.”

“Who’s Got Jokes” returns to TV One on Saturday, October 10, 2009 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The ten-episode, one-hour series is produced for TV One by Farcor Productions, LLC. Executive producers are Ralph Farquhar, Dwayne Corbitt and Bill Bellamy. Co-executive producers are Carl Craig and Rikki Hughes, and the series is directed by Brian Campbell. The show was created by Ralph Farquhar.
