Clint Black, Living Proof That Dying Is Easier Than Comedy

If you were to conduct a poll of the 276 million people living in these here United States asking what they’d REALLY like to know about their favourite celebrities, we’re pretty sure you’d be hard pressed to find even one person who’s wondering whether or not country music star Clint Black is any good at stand-up comedy. Still, that didn’t stop CBS from devoting close to 6 minutes of airtime last night to answering that very question as part of their brand new show, Secret Talents Of The Stars. Sandwiched between segments of other equally perplexing talents of Z-listers (Can George Takei sing country music? Can Mya dance? Does a bear shit in the woods?), Clint Black spent some time prepping his stand-up routine with old friend Garry Shandling at the preeminent comedy hotspot for people born in the 1950s, The Comedy Store. Unfortunately for all of us, when a clearly concerned Shandling asked the yukless Black if “he had any OTHER secret talents” besides comedy, Black’s answer was no. Shandling’s advice and Black’s so-bad-it’s-bad performance follow after the jump.

The worst part? Clint Black won last night’s competition!
