You know, as a fun family activity. Deadline reports that Wanda Sykes has signed on to host Ring Nation, a new America’s Funniest Home Videos-style clip show from MGM Television, Ring, and Big Fish Entertainment, the production company behind Live…

Rappers don’t get enough credit for being genuinely hilarious—whether they mean to be or not. Some of the funniest rappers in the game right now are the ones who ignore the status quo, unafraid of what other people think of them. That’s the true essence of hip-hop, anyway: being yourself without any concessions. Being able to engage with an audience through funny Instagram Lives, memes, and tweets not only shows artists’ sense of humor, it also brings them closer to their fans.
