ABOUT SOUTH
SIDE ON COMEDY CENTRAL
South
Side is an aspirational, scripted comedy set in and around
the working class neighborhood of Englewood on the South Side of
Chicago. The show follows two friends who just graduated community
college ... so now they're ready to take over the world! But until
they do they're stuck at Rent-T-Own, a retail-rental crossroads where
the South Side's vast ensemble of characters come together. Despite
the obstacles of inner-city life, these friends and their co-workers
all strive to achieve their entrepreneurial dreams. Brought to life
by local Chicagoans, both in front of and behind the camera, this
show gives viewers an authentic portrayal of what life on the South
Side is all about. It's evidence that what you see on the news is
only a small piece of the city. It's written by Bashir Salahuddin
(Glow) and Diallo Riddle (Marlon).
Salahuddin, Riddle, and Michael Blieden - all Late Night
with Jimmy Fallon alumni - are executive producers.
ABOUT DIALLO'S
OTHER SHOW, SHERMAN'S SHOWCASE ON IFC

While
handcuffed behind her back in the rear of a Kentucky squad car, a
suspect removed a bag of narcotics from her private parts and snorted
the white powder inside, according to police who arrested the woman
on drug possession and other charges. Responding to a report about an
intoxicated couple preparing to drive a car, cops in Winchester
encountered 28-year-old Kathryn Ahlers and her boyfriend outside a
vehicle on Main Street around 11:30 p.m. Friday. According to a court
citation, Ahlers was attempting to remove her toddler from a car
seat, but was unsteady on her feet. Ahlers, whose speech was slurred,
told police that she and her companion became lost en route to
Cincinnati from Lexington. Ahlers was handcuffed behind her back when
she somehow “pulled a clear plastic baggie from her vagina cavity”
and “dumped some white substance on the seat.” Ahlers then “began
to inhale it through her nose.” Ahlers was charged with endangering
the welfare of a minor, public intoxication, tampering with physical
evidence, and possession of a controlled substance.

A
49-year-old Ohio man who pleaded guilty last Thursday to throwing an
iguana in a Perkins Restaurant was ordered to not go and brag about
the incident, Painesville Municipal Clerk of Court Nick Cindric told
cleveland.com. Judge Michael A. Cicconetti sentenced Arnold Teeter
Thursday to 90 days in jail and suspended 77 of those days. The judge
also gave him 13 days credit for the time he already served in jail.
In the end, he will not serve any jail time, unless he breaks the law
sometime during his five-years of probation. The judge also entered a
handful of other stipulations. Tetters is not allowed to publicize
about what he did or why he did it. He’s not allowed to seek media
attention about the case and he can’t brag about what happened.
He’s also required to pay restitution to the Lake Humane Society
which cared for the injured lizard after the incident.
