The Penultimate Brilliance


CLEVELAND - Shocking and hilarious. Naughty and audacious. Call it what you want, but Deante Young's obscene web series, a Date with Deante has given America something to talk about, laugh about and complain about.

And the fun is just about to end.

The 49th episode of the series debuted last night and became an instant hit. The clip, entitled "Unbreakable" features a decidedly vitriolic Deante as he defiantly taunts his critics and enemies by reaffirming his scathing brand of humor and its intent to exploit. He insists that he's unbreakable and immune from naysayers, doubters and anyone who opposes his unadulterated humor.

There's also an eclectic mix of interviews which predictably showcase Young as the master of irreverence and wit. All in all, a strong effort in a series of strong efforts for the man, who will release the landmark 50th episode on November 13, which will be the season finale.

It'll be breathtaking.

Double Returns From Jail


CLEVELAND - In a sprawling, yet riveting edition of a Date with Deante, the raunchy and hilarious host converses with iconic bum Tony Train Wreck, and freak nasty Alicia; both of whom make memorable returns from the big house.

And it's great theater.

Deante Young's racy and controversial web series debuts its 46th episode today, and at nearly 28 minutes in length, it is more than twice the duration of the average season 2 episode. Even still, he delivers an amazing installment of comedy, racism, tension and sex.

As usual, he knows no boundaries.

The last time Tony Train Wreck had been seen was in the 41st episode when he, in a drunken stupor was soaked with a hose by a group of guys then later arrested by cops. Alicia hadn't been seen since a very brief appearance in the 43rd episode, during the filming she was arrested on a warrant. Both she and Tony Train Wreck have been pivotal cornerstones of season 2 and with their performances in this clip, they are destined to go down as two of the most indelible personalities in the show's history.

Check out "Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough" and appreciate the brilliance of its personality.

Public Indecency In Private


CLEVELAND - Deante Young has seen it all while interviewing folks for his outrageous web series. Gays, lesbians, homeless drunks, strange tattoos in odd places, face-to-face racism, drug addicts, bad mothers and girls happy to have a disease.

But episode 44 takes the cake.

One of the biggest nut jobs in the history of a Date with Deante makes a return with a wild and stunning display of um...indecency in his own home when he starts off by showing off his "shortcomings" and ends with a predatory molestation act. Everything in between is actually worse!

Check out the brand new installment entitled, "Blame It On the Boogie" and summon every brave bone and nerve in your body to witness this stunning debacle.

Young's Racy Show Near Its Return

CLEVELAND - Deante Young was consistently criticized in the court of public opinion when his landmark series, a Date with Deante hit the Internet with a bang last Spring.

It didn't faze him one bit.

Young was embroiled in a firestorm of controversy during the show's 20-episode first season, which was heavily scrutinized by media watchdogs and the conservative general public. On the same day the entertainer released the season finale (last October 31), he was threatened by a young girl's brother and her mother with a lawsuit. The girl had been featured in an episode and supposedly portrayed in an unfavorable light.

Young subsequently pulled the episode from the airwaves. 

Due to its misogynistic and sometimes sexist portrayal of its female guests, a Date with Deante is often vilified and panned as "exploitation." Young himself disagrees. "If it is exploitation, then it is of the fair variety because these are coherent and consenting adults," he said during last week's inauguration of President Barack Obama. " The public is just blinded to the harsh realities of how people live. It ain't always pretty."

The show is scheduled to begin airing season 2 in the coming days.
