8.7

Def Comedy Jam played host to some of the greatest comedians of the 1990s, many of whom went on to greater fame, due in part to the exposure they received on the program. Here, Mark Curry and Steve Harvey both show off some comic chops that that could never air on their respective network TV shows, though Harvey has shown this side of himself in Spike Lee's excellent THE ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY. Rounding out the performers are Don "D.C." Curry (NEXT FRIDAY) and Arnez J. Contains two episodes.

After years of dead end auditions and exploitation in music videos, she finally gets the break of a lifetime. But can she maintain the balance between the greedy Hollywood demands of being a rising young star with the indebtedness she feels to her often-unscrupulous family and the seedy Atlanta strip club where she was discovered?
