David Letterman Anyone that has met, seen, heard of, or listened to David Letterman can immediately tell he has a likable and humorous personality. Anyone studying him can see that his “clowning,” as he called it, is more than simple clowning in its accepted sense. In inventing weird disasters and making up places that did not exist, which he did quite often as a weather man for channel 13, he was indulging himself in another facet of his complicated humor. It was “nonsense”-nothing more

She herself is a mixed-blood, and her experience has evidently given her access not only to a variety of problems, but also to a variety of styles of clowning and joking.. ..

As I initially began reading Hendricks’ critique of contemporary gospel music, I found myself in agreement. I thought, yes, gospel music has transitioned and no longer is as strongly rooted in liberation, freedom, and justice. My thoughts immediately took me to the works of Kirk Franklin and Yolanda Adams whose gospel songs could be heard during primetime on hip hop radio stations. But then I asked myself, is this so bad and I continued to read further. Gospel “music today…is unmindful and uninvolved
old genius named Harrison Bergeron escapes from prison and proceeds to break into the local or national television studio. Harrison is hoping to accomplish by this is to rekindle the ability to connect with other people as he stomps in “clanking, clowning, and huge in [to] the center of the studio” (201).

Sherry was the queen, festooned with costume jewelry. "Sharon would have this exuberant clowning expression all the time, while Sherry was always more serious-looking, even as a baby," says Tina.
