Untitled[edit]

I removed "On the April 10, 2007 episode of the Daily Show, Wilmore made a racist and derogatory joke about the white players on the Rutgers basketball team, referring to them as "smooth-headed". The joke was made in response to the Don Imus controversy, but some considered Wilmore's joke to be equally offensive." The entire passage isn't noteworthy in regards to Larry Wilmore, is unsourced, and a perfect example of weasel words.

I have never heard the expression "smooth-headed" before. If it is not too derisive could someone please explain its meaning? Thanks.--74.229.102.208 (talk) 19:12, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Has he been active in the industry since he was thirteen? That seems unlikely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.46.115.79 (talk) 21:10, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
