David Alan Grier's "Chocolate News": Ain't that a bitch

Dag_mayaangelouDavid Alan Grier is the fake news anchor for this at-times hilarious hodgepodge of "The Daily Show," "Colbert Report" and "Chappelle's Show." He also appears in fake news bits as other characters. In particular, his impersonation of Maya Angelou saying "Ain't that a bitch!" is not to be missed. However, Comedy Central didn't supply a clip of that. This rant from the opening monologue is pretty good, too, though be warned that the hit-to-miss ratio of "Chocolate News" doesn't approach that of "Chappelle."

"Chocolate News" premieres Wednesday night on Comedy Central, just before "The Daily Show."
