CLEVELAND - Deante Young's controversial web series has raised eyebrows and angered many national organizations during its 47 episodes. Now, his production company April Fool's Entertainment has revealed details about his upcoming 5oth episode, a spectacular homage to Michael Jackson."Mr. Young's 50th episode will debut on Friday, November 13, 2009. It is entitled, "Thriller" and will be a departure from the usual a Date with Deante episodic format," says Keith Mason of Dirty Truth Films, the film division of April Fool's Entertainment. "In the movie-style production, Young will pay a final, grand tribute to Michael Jackson, whom he has loved and admired since he was a toddler. This short film will also serve as the season finale of the show."
According to an anonymous source at Dirty Truth Films, filming of the episode is scheduled for next week and will include "many riffs" on Jackson's historic "Thriller" video, which debuted 26 years ago on MTV.
Young's talk-show, a Date with Deante is at the tail end of its second season. It aired 20 episodes in the 1st season, and planned to air another 30 for the current season. Its first 13 episodes of season 2 aired between March 1 and June 21, then unspeakable tragedy rocked Young's world. On June 25, Jackson, his lifelong idol and hero suddenly and shockingly passed away. Young was sent reeling for awhile, but regrouped and filmed a tribute episode for Jackson. After that, he dedicated the remaining 16 episodes to Michael and even named each one after a Jackson song. So far, 27 episodes have aired this season with three remaining.
Episode 50, a landmark edition of the series that America loves to hate will be a final, incredible dedication to the man whom Young calls the greatest entertainer in history.
