By Karu F. Daniels, BlackVoices.com

On Oct. 29, a bold new TV series of specials will hit the syndicated airwaves titled 'Shaken Not Stirred.'

Billed as an "uproarious show with "Vegas Style" flair," the MyNetworkTV show mixes up old-school style roasting with edgy nighttime talk. The combination is a full-hour of straightforward and sexy, no-holds-barred comedic fun with some today's most popular and controversial celebrities.

First up is celebrated civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton. And sharp-tongued comedic personalities Anthony Anderson, DL Hughley, Paul Rodriguez and John Salley have been tapped to do the honors.

But Sharpton has never been one to take no tea for the fever and in his true Brooklyn native form, he realizes that in order to give, you must be able to receive. No one can out-talk the man known as Rev. Al. And during the hour-long show, he talks candidly about his years as an activist, as well as, some insightful and humorous revelations about his upbringing.
