The beginning of every year, as far as comedy is concerned, can be celebrated with the venerable SF Sketchfest, one of the biggest, most respected, longest running comedy festivals in the world. It's three weeks of hundreds of shows and thousands of the best performers in comedy all over San Francisco making for the first big comedy event of the calendar year.Of course, that can't happen this year due to COVID-19 and SF Sketchfest co-founder Cole Stratton zooms with TCB's Jake Kroeger about what to do in place of nearly a month of live in-person shows with one big virtual comedy extravaganza (and fundraiser for SF Sketchfest itself) Festpocalypse. Cole also details how doing improv has adapted to the virtual space as well as "hot" takes on Chappelle getting COVID-19, the CA stay-at-home order being lifted, and the debacle of combining the late night and sketch variety categories with the Emmys.Oh yeah, we'll remind you once more: don't gather in person to watch the Super Bowl. Watching it alone is fine.Follow Cole @colestratton on Twitter and @strattoncole on IG. Get tickets and more info about SF Sketchfest: Festpocalypse this Sat.

There were certainly some undeniable trending moments that occurred to let ya'll know for this week's show!  It looks like rappers, Too Short and E-40 will face off in the last ‘Verzuz’ of 2020. Fans were disappointed this weekend when Ashanti and Keyshia Cole’s battle was canceled due to Ashanti contracting COVID-19. She later got on IG Live with Cole to discuss the cancellation. Verzuz then officially announced that the R&B legends would face-to-face on Jan. 9. The final Verzuz of the year will go down on Saturday, December 19, at 5PM PT / 8PM ET. In related news, the Game is yet to step into the Verzuz arena... and now he says the only rapper he would be prepared to battle would be his former label boss and rival, 50 Cent. That would be interesting! K. Michelle says she is preparing to sue Maino next month for statements he made about her a while back. Maino claimed that K. Michelle's feminine parts were smelly -- but K. Michelle says it's a lie. She says he has no basis for his remarks. They never even slept together and "he could get this lawsuit." This looks like it may get ugly, lol! Youtuber Jake Paul is offering retired fighter Conor McGregor a massive $50 million to step into the ring with him. Jake went on to call Dana White, the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship a "f*cking p*ssy" for saying the fight will never happen. "Conor, you're scared. Dana, you're scared. Sign the f*cking contract you idiots... Irish b*tch." Wow! JAY-Z’s Roc Nation and Random House are teaming up to launch a literary publishing partnership titled Roc Lit 101. The company’s first wave of releases are expected to arrive in the summer of 2021, as readers can expect Roc Lit 101 to deeply explore an array of subjects with a unique lens including in the areas of “music, sports, pop culture, activism and art.” One World books editor-in-chief Chris Jackson, who published JAYZ’s Decoded book in 2010, will oversee the Roc Lit 101 imprint’s operation. Rapper, 2 Chainz launches "Money Maker Fund" Youtube series and awards $55K to Black entrepreneurs. The Money Maker Fund consists of five episodes airing from Monday (December 14) through Friday (December 18), and features HBCU students and alumni pitching their business ideas to 2 Chainz, who put $55,000 into the best ones. This is definitely a great initiative! Giannis Antetokounmpo was already rich as hell but now he’s SUPER f***ing rich. The Milwaukee Bucks big man just signed a historic new contract according to ESPN with the biggest contract in NBA history for 5-years at $228 million! If you’re keeping score at home that means Giannis is clockin’ a tick under $46 million per season. Must be nice. Just nine months after the United States became a part of the global coronavirus pandemic, health workers across the nation have begun administering a vaccine to halt the spread of COVID-19. This morning, critical care nurse Sandra Lindsay became the first Black woman/person in the U.S. to receive the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech when she was injected at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York. For the "HOT TAKE" this week, we up and coming comedian from Philly in the building, "King Buhzzie!" Check him out everywhere for the latest and greatest @buhzztaylorcomedy.

It’s impossible to be all things to all people but where is the demarcation line between ignoring the culture and doing things your own way? Folks like Tyler Perry, Oprah (no last name, you know the one!) and more recently Lena Waithe and Kenya Barris have come under fire for not representing the totality of Black culture. But did anyone ever ask them to?  But before we get started…DIS/Honorable Mentions This week, Tre’vell has an honorable mention to Dwyane and Zaya Wade who debuted matching fuschia hair this week—much to the delight of wife Gabby Union. An honorable mention also goes out to the always-delighful Tracee Ellis Ross of Black-ish fame who stars in her first leading movie role with The High Note. You can go here to join the Twitter watch part this Friday at 5PM PT / 8PM ET. Lastly, an honorable mention to Bob the Drag Queen, Shangela and Eureka O’Hara who star in the new HBO show We are Here. You can stream it now.   Over on Team Side-Eye, Jarrett has a DIShonorable mention for Amy Cooper for weaponizing White Woman Tearz™ and calling the cops on a hot nerdy black bird watcher for having the audacity to request she follow the rules. We can’t even watch birds in peace!And because White supremacy never takes a damn day off, Jarrett has a dishonorable mention for the Minneapolis Police Dept for their complete and utter failing in the death of George Floyd.Finally, a mention goes out to Jack Dorsey and Twitter for debuting their fact-based warning labels with a certain Tangerine nightmare and his Paul Bunyunesque tweets.Go ahead and @ us Email: FANTI@maximumfun.org @FANTIpodcast@Jarrett Hill@rayzon (Tre’Vell) @FANTIpodcast@TreVellAnderson@JarrettHill@Swish (Producer Laura Swisher) FANTI is produced and distributed by MaximumFun.orgLaura Swisher is the senior producer.
