Hughley an d Cedric the Entertainer. His hilarious new comedy special “\\;Racia lly Motivated”\\; is now available on Netflix .Arnez J.’\\;s ch arisma and physical agility are unforgettable. “\\;J is a whirling d ervish on stage–\\;he runs\\, jumps\\, spins\\, slides\\, slips\\, a nd mugs through a performance\\, acting out many of his bits while descri bing them\\,”\\; wrote Doug Kaufman in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Arnez admits of himself “\\;I’\\;ve always expressed my things through mannerisms and facial expressions rather than speaking.”\\;O n his own at age 14\\, Arnez lied about his age to get a job at a gas sta tion to work his way through school. With dreams to become a professional baseball player\\, Arnez began working as a flight attendant when those baseball plans fell through. It was while working as a flight attendant t hat Arnez discovered his comedic talent. He realized that he had the abil ity to keep the passengers and crew laughing and\\, upon encouragement fr om friends\\, he made his first attempt at stand-up comedy. After that fi rst night on stage\\, he knew what he wanted to do. He left his job with the airlines and made the decision to devote all of his time to a career in comedy. Arnez got a chance to combine his ambitions as both an athlete and performer when he was recruited by scouts for the famed Harlem Globe trotters basketball team who saw his very physical comedy routine at a lo cal basketball game. However\\, after several months\\, a knee injury end ed his Globetrotters career\\, finally clearing the way for him to devote himself full time to standup comedy. An Atlanta native\\, Arnez began wo rking the comedy circuit in Georgia and quickly became one of “\\;Ho tlanta’\\;s”\\; funniest newcomers. A finalist in the “\\; Bay Area Black Comedy Competition\\,”\\; he was immediately noticed by the entertainment industry and was asked to make his first television appearance on Showtime’\\;s “\\;Comedy Club Network. “\\;N umerous television appearances soon followed including appearances on  220\\;The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show\\,”\\; “\\;Louie Anderson 217\\;s Comedy Showcase\\,”\\; Comedy Central’\\;s “\\;Mak e Me Laugh\\,”\\; NBC’\\;s “\\;Friday Night Videos\\,̶ 1\\; “\\;The Mo’\\;Nique Show”\\;\\, Russell Simmons’ \\; “\\;Def Comedy Jam\\,”\\; his own BET “\\;Comic View G randstand Hour Special\\,”\\; and “\\;Comedy Central Presents: Arnez J.”\\; He was most recently seen headlining Showtime’\\;s “\\;Shaquille O’\\;Neal Presents: All Star Comedy Jam. “\ \;Today\\, Arnez is widely considered one of the best working artists\\, with a polished and highly entertaining standup routine that keeps his au diences entertained without having to use profanity.
