The Pulse of Entertainment: Comedian Mouse Jones Hosts iOne Digital’s ‘Listen to Black Men’

*“A belief in my talent as a host and a TV anchor,” said comedian Mouse Jones when I asked during an interview about how he got the gig as the host of iOne Digital’s “Listen to Black Men” talk show.

“Listen to Black Men,” hosted by Mouse Jones, launched its second season on June 16, 2024. The show will have Jones talking to Lil Scrappy, David Banner, Tyler Chronicles, and Young Joc. To name a few. The show is aired at MadameNoire.com and CassiusLife.com (platforms of iOne Digital).

“David Banner’s conversation,” Mouse said to me when I asked which interview in the second season stands out for him. “I got to see both sides of him…like wow.”

The show was launched to provide black men, using high-profile black men in our society to set the trend, to share their stories and experiences as Black men in a place where they feel comfortable. Mouse Jones talks with his guests about lots of topics they are dealing with. The second season of “Listen to Black Men” is centered around the anguish of black men almost becoming a father – the loss of a child through their women’s miscarriage.

“We have Jeremie, Tyler,” Mouse said about his guests in the second season. “We have a talented team who know who to put on.”

Mouse is a well-known and in-demand comedian and host. His credits include shows at Funny Bone, Big Laugh Comedy, Coast Live, and California Comedy Club. He has several shows The Clubhouse with Mouse Jones Podcast and Mouse Jones and Friends Comedy Show.

About the show’s topics, he said, “We do not run away from toxic things as we grow up. It’s ok to say I say I don’t understand. Men have a fear of saying I don’t know. These men are not scared to turn the finger at ourselves.”

The “Listen to Black Men” talk show was launched in early 2023 and continues with its second season on CassiusLife.com (men’s lifestyle content) and MadameNoire.com (women’s lifestyle content). Named after Muhammad Ali this platform is an Urban lifestyle website. MadameNoire.com is a website for black women with content on entertainment education, parenting advice, celebrity news, and the opinions of black women.
