Weekly Video Review Here:
After much success and disappointment from hosting live talk shows in his hometown Tampa, FL, this seeker relocated to Los Angeles, CA on September 19, 2010 to begin an epic journey that does not consist of a plan B. Virtually unknown in the entertainment industry, this brave man is in pursuit of one goal & purpose; to become a nationally syndicated late night talk show host. This is the quest of Motown Maurice. Remember his name, for he is The Future of Late Night Television.

Indiegogo Fund Raising Final Results
Post Represents: Wednesday, May 23, 2012
On this date, my fund raising efforts for my new late night pilot came to an end. The amount received is no where close to the initial goal ($10,000.00) but its exactly what we need to accomplish the new focused pilot. The following names are the angels who are not only responsible for bring life to this project but they also brought hope.

Donations Through Post Mail:
Gwendolyn Duncan: $40.00
Reginald J. Nickson Sr: $200.00
W.G. $20:00 (Updated: Monday, June, 4, 2012)
Final Thoughts
Subtract about $100 from the amount earned online for Indiegogo fees and the difference will go to the project. Yes, I initially desired $10,000.00 and the amount raised is no where close to that amount but believe me when I tell you I have exactly what is needed. Add some recent work I booked and my ma's sincere support and the vision will come to life. It will also be better than the first plan. This project has been through some changes but all the for best. Upon planning this project I did say I would evaluate things and tone it down if necessary. Everything worked out for the best.
Most of all, I am so blessed to have all those people support me they way they did. There are people on this list I haven't communicated with in years yet they reached out and planted a seed. Its a humbling to know there are people out there that sincerely want me to succeed. I will not only do my best to make you all proud but I will also want you to know that I consider your donation and investment. An investment I will somehow, someway return to you in the form of a blessing for blessing me.
Thank you so much. In the new few days I will call each person personally and respectfully thank you.

Life in L.A. 1st Table Read
Post Represents: Saturday, May 26, 2012
If your looking to break the Hollywood's code, look no further. I've got Hollywood all figured out. Okay, not really... but I'll share this much. Be good to be people and when your not expecting it, the goodness will return back to you in ways you never imagined. I met Cassandra on Thursday, November 11, 2010. My 53rd day and 8th week in L.A. We've maintained a good friendship ever since. There was a little "Falling Out" as Cassandra calls it, but obviously it was insignificant and the genuineness of our friendship prevailed.
We have since supported each others endeavors in multiple ways. Most recently she invited me to play a role in her up and coming web series. Today was the first table read and it was indeed an honor to be apart of her wonderful new project.

Final Thoughts
When I was walking distance from the Cassandra's house I call to verify where she lived and I also asked if she wanted me to pick up some rice or so from panda express. She declined the rice and told me she had "a little something something" at her house. I figured all I needed was some crackers and water to fulfill my hungry. Can you believe this girl feed me a full coarse meal. I'm started to feed bad for not leaving a tip. This had to be one of my favorite moments of the day. "A little something." Too funny.
Besides being feed well, I got a chance to finally meet all of her wonderful friends I've heard so much about. We've heard much about each other but never officially met. We've crossed each other on the same bus, train and event but never officially spoke until now.
I had a marvelous time working with wonderful people and I received a few compliments from table read performance. I was told I had a great "Asshole." Little do they know...lol.
When asked why I was so reserved/shy I told them I was boring. When asked when is my birth date, the question remained unanswered, as usual. Boston won and I have an awesome web series to look forward to. Thank you Cassandra. Until next time. Great meeting you Nimi and friends.

Potentially a 3rd Time Charm?
Post Represents: Tuesday, May 22, 2012
I always wondered if they were going to bring back the Excused All-Stars. Well the opportunity came today. Not as a All-Star but more as an opportunity of possible redemption. Or to be Excused a 3rd time and forever be labeled as the guy women don't want.

Food Stamps Don't Go...
Post Represents: Monday, May 21, 2012
On this date I left to fight for my food stamps. I received some letters in the mail stating they will be terminated by the end of May or June if action isn't taken. The reality of me losing my food stamp privileges are inevitable but I'm going to do my best to hold on to it as long as I can. Moreover, I left with ease and after being patient they were renewed and extended.
