Shawn is a not only a friend, but he’s one talented mofo who deserves the support of every single Comic Timing listener. And he has presented the show with some of its greatest rants, such as the Superman Returns rant, Bill Cosby and watermello Jello, and more! So support Shawn Pryor, and support further rants! And did I mention the appearance of Dr. Levenstein? He’s my favorite character EVAR.
