2019 has been a big year for Donnell Rawlings so far, as he is currently on his Funny Moves Tour. He just shot a role in The Jay and Silent Bob Reboot film, and was also a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast. He can be seen starring in Kevin Smith’s Hollyweed, The New Negroes on Comedy Central, Historical Roasts with Jeff Ross on Netflix, and TBS’s The Last OG with Tracy Morgan.

Previously, Donnell hosted his own show as Judge Rawlings on MTV2’s Guy Court, and was a cast member on MTV2’s Guy Code. He has also appeared in a number of TV shows, including TLC’s Project Dad starring Donnell and his son, The Shaq Comedy All-Stars on Showtime, host of Staann' Dup on Starz in Black, and the hit animation Black Dynamite where he lends his voice in a recurring role as “Another Cat Named Rally”. As an actor, Donnell has also appeared in the Law & Order series, Special Victims Unit (SVU) and Criminal Intent (CI) as well as NBC’s Third Watch, the Emmy-Award winning HBO Mini-Series: The Corner and as Day-Day Price on HBO’s Emmy-Award winning series The Wire.

His rise to stardom may not have been “overnight”, but the journey itself has kept him edgy and relevant. Comedy's heavy hitters have noticed his talent with Neal Brennan, co- executive producer and co-head writer of Chappelle’s Show exclaiming “whenever we put Donnell in the game he’s going to hit a home run.” Jamie Foxx says, “That guy is a beast!” Wayne Brady commented that Donnell provides “amazing work on the show” and Dave Chappelle feels that “Donnell brings so much to the table...this very funny guy makes it look natural and easy”. Donnell continues to tour heavily, performing his intelligently bold stand-up throughout the US, Europe, and the Caribbean.

Currently, his wildly popular live show Bumping Mics with Jeff Ross and Dave Attell is streaming on Netflix as a three-part comedy special event. The show, which was shot over three nights at the iconic Village Underground in New York, showcases the kinship that exists between these two veteran comics and highlights special guests including Amy Schumer, Bob Saget, Paul Rudd, and Michael Che.

As a regular on the Comedy Central Roasts, Jeff has roasted many stars including Justin Bieber, Roseanne Barr, Joan Rivers, Charlie Sheen, and The President of The United States, Donald Trump. Jeff's most recent Comedy Central Roast victim was none other than Bruce Willis.

These celebrity roasts have become a mainstay in popular culture and propelled roasting into the public eye. Building on their success, Jeff launched Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battlein 2016, a competition show in which comics go mic to mic in a battle of wits. Judged by some of the best comedy minds of our generation including Jimmy Kimmel, Kevin Hart, and Seth Rogen, Roast Battle, has introduced new stars and started a movement. Comedy Central has since taken the format international, producing versions of the show in Britain, Mexico and South Africa, with more international markets to come.

This past fall, Jeff took roasting back in time with the forthcoming Netflix show Historical Roasts where Abe Lincoln, Cleopatra, Freddie Mercury and many others took their turns being roasted. The series premiered in the spring of 2019.

Black Thought Presents: Delirious is the exciting new comedy series created and curated by the MC of the legendary Roots crew. Featuring the hottest new comedians, the series will look at popular culture and society through a humorous, yet poignant lens.

Tariq Trotter, better known as Black Thought, is an American rap artist and the lead singer/MC for the Philadelphia-originating hip-hop group, The Roots. A co-founder of The Roots alongside drummer Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson, Trotter is widely lauded for his rhythmically complex and reference-driven lyrical content, his sharply honed live performances, and the fluidity of his creative abilities.

The Roots’ 1999 album Things Fall Apart catapulted the group and Trotter’s poignant lyrics into the mainstream. Winning a Grammy Award for its lead single, “You Got Me” featuring Erykah Badu, Things Fall Apart garnered Trotter critical acclaim as an MC, heralded by press like Rolling Stone as the “lyricist’s lyricist”. The project also produced one of the most iconic covers in Hip Hop, solidifying The Roots as a revolutionary, deeply artistic band.

As The Roots continued to expand professionally, Trotter’s range of creative abilities became even more apparent. Under the leadership of Trotter and Thompson, The Roots began their over 10 year relationship with Jimmy Fallon as his NBC house band in 2009, starting at Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and transitioning in 2014 to the house band for the new Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Their careers would see a creative explosion throughout the decade, with a slew of releases and a foray into acting by Trotter in Get On Up, a blockbuster biopic about the life of soul legend James Brown. In 2015, Trotter and Thompson took their talents to Broadway. Together they executive produced the cast album for the critically acclaimed Broadway musical Hamilton, adding to their Grammy shelf when Hamilton won “Best Musical Theater Album” in February 2016.

Trotter’s artistic evolution continues to expand and shift. In early 2017, it was announced that The Roots were partnering with Amazon for the development of an animated children’s series, while also executive producing The Rap Year Book docuseries with AMC. In the fall of 2017, Trotter also starred in HBO’s hit series The Deuce as the braggadocious pimp, Reggie Love. He would simultaneously unveil a sneaker collaboration with independent brand, Clear Weather, sold exclusively at Barneys New York.
