CNTNEWSWIRE.Com COMEDIAN MICHAEL JR. BRINGS ‘THE FUNNY’ TO HOLLYWOOD ’S 16TH ANNUAL ‘FAITH & VALUES’ MOVIEGUIDE® AWARDS
CNTNewswire.com - Beverly Hills - The
power and the glory of Tuesday evenings 16th
annual Faith & Values Movieguide Awards held
at the Beverly Hilton Hotel went to comedy
great Michael Jr., who opened the show like
Oscar hosts Billy Crystal and Whoopie
Goldberg all rolled into one.
 Hailed
as the next ‘break-out’ star in family
comedy for 2008 and often compared to a
‘young’ Bill Cosby, Michael Jr. is funny for
a reason! “When I saw Michael Jr.
perform on the ‘Tonight Show’ I knew he just
had to host the ‘Movieguide®
Awards!’” says executive producer Susan
Wales. “His comedy is genuine, it’s
intelligent and speaks to every generation –
he really took the show to a new level --
comparable to the Oscars!” Photo:
