Don't know. Let's check a review. by Fussbett 02/20/2007, 1:22pm PST

This guy starts off by calling it "The 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour", but I'm sure we can trust him with the rest of the facts.

...it's too bad that the producers didn't make a point of innoculating themselves against such charges [of racism] by using some "people of color" to deliver the jokes, the satiric barbs that fuel the entertainment. The only darker skin shades on the show turn up among targets of the humor, not from those who administer the teasing. Unfortunately, the engaging male-female hosts and the various "experts" featured in skits, remain lilly white. The only "minority" is a curvaceous starlet who appears briefly in a mildly funny make-believe ad mocking entertainment industry earnestess and called, "Hollywood Helping Humanity." One of the slogans used for these mock-public service messages is particularly apt: "Remember, there is no 'I' in Hollywood."
