Katt’s back and he’s heading your way. The comic is on the road again and hopefully without some of the issues that have led him astray in the past. If you’d rather sit on the couch and watch football, this is the weekend to do it because the AFC and the NFC Championships will decide who will go to the Super Bowl. The league showcases its top quarterbacks with the marquee matchups between the two of the young talented Black QB’s. If you missed the first episode of Being Mary Jane, BET repeats it this weekend and will probably do so again, but you can catch up before the next episode airs on Tuesday at 10 p.m. Kevin Hart and Ice Cube are the comic duo in Ride Along and the Jack Ryan franchise updates with Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. Enjoy the long weekend, and for those of you interested in participating in the Martin Luther King Day Of Service on Monday, here’s a link to a list of events nationwide.
