(August 12th 2009)- Keep the comedy going! And it doesn’t stop. Members of BET's season one of “Hell Date” made sure that their audience continues to laugh, regardless of the situation.
“Where’s the Remote” is a hilarious sketch comedy that spoofs some of your favorite people and ideas on television. Rising in popularity in both Los Angeles and London, the show is growing to eventually be the next Mad TV. Simone Shepherd, executive producer, decided to bring the show to the campus of N.C.

“We’ve been doing this show all over L.A. and London,” said Shepherd. "I just wanted to take it to NCCU because my [theatrical] roots are there.”
Performing line-up includes Simone Shepherd, Pierre Antonio, Zaianb Johnson and Keedar Whittle, all most known for their unexpectedly wild blind date roles on “Hell Date”, which premiered on BET in July 2007. Also joining the crew is up and coming DJ Printz Paul who is gaining familiarity across the LA club circuit.
Created by Ghetto Girl Productions along with Bull City Productions and NCCU’s TOP-CAT Program, the show is catered to suit all audiences.
