Sheryl Underwood
BET - Dodge Platinum Mic Award Winner September 2005
Black Entertainment Television’s
ComicView kicked off its 14th hilarious season on
this week with new host Sheryl Underwood Sheryl’s
down-to-earth approach, likable style, and ability
to use humor to drive home her sometimes controversial
point-of-view is what makes her one of the funniest
and topical standup comics today. Underwood makes
her mark as ComicView’s first-ever sole female
host. Recently, BET viewers voiced their preference
for Sheryl as their favorite comic by logging onto
BET.com and voting her into the winner’s circle
as the BET Comedy Awards Dodge Platinum Mic Stand-Up.
Underwood’s prize for nabbing the award was
a new Dodge Charger, and her acceptance speech was
one of the most memorable of the evening.
Like so many Americans,
Sheryl was deeply touched by the devastation of Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita in the Gulf Coast region Underwood,
who spent several weeks in New Orleans earlier this
summer taping Comicview, immediately lent her support
to national relief efforts appearing on BET’s
S.O.S. (Saving OurSelves) Hurricane Relief Telethon
and in Steve Harvey’s Saving Lives With Laughter
All-Star Comedy event at The Great Western Forum in
Los Angeles.
NPR's Tavis Smiley speaks with Republican comedienne
Sheryl Underwood. We also hear from Ron Thomas, a law
school student at the University of South Carolina and
vice chair of the South Carolina Republican Party and
delegation.

a casual setting. "Hollah!" on BET, Tuesday
and Thursday evenings at 9:30. Not only that Sheryl
