If you are an '80's baby, you grew up watching our guest on one of the most popular teen comedies of the '90s', alongside his friends Zach, Screech, Kelly, Jessie, and Lisa, on the hit show Saved By The Bell. And even as he hosts one of the country's most popular and longest running entertainment TV news programs - Extra - if you are that '80's baby, you will always see him as that jheri curl dude from Saved By The Bell, A.C. Slater. That's right, A.C. .. ahem ... Mario Lopez is in the house...

Some cats just have that grind mentality built-in. In the case of our guest, he came up in an era where - if you wanted to get noticed and be successful - you had no choice but to put in serious work. His beginnings in journalism in the early '90's as a beat reporter bred him, and now he's one of the most recognizable faces (and voices!) in sports television. Stephen A. Smith is in the house! Nemo Hoes and Stephen A. chop it up about how his hustle brought him through the ranks, eventually...

From coast to coast, LA to Chicago, the GGN News desk brings together two major OG's of their respective worlds. Actor Wood Harris joins Nemo Hoes at the desk this week! While he was still enrolled at NYU, he auditioned and ended up getting his first part in a major film, acting alongside 2pac, in Above The Rim - aided in part by some serious ball skills. Many of us still hold the HBO series, The Wire, as the best series to ever be on television, which our guest starred in, playing the...

Continuing on with this West Coast theme we've got going on lately - Nemo Hoes welcomes a fellow LBC-native to the GGN News desk, a young homie on the rise. He entered all of our musical consciousness a couple years back, with his monster hit singles "CoCo", then followed up with "Cut It" featuring Young Dolph. You know what it is - O.T. Genasis is in the house! These men are connected through their origins, and when our guest brought out our host (and Tha Eastsidaz) at a special performance...

This week at the GGN News desk, Nemo Hoes welcomes yet another one of his up and coming West Coast neffews to the show - Compton-representative, AD, is in the house!

He's been bubbling for quite some time now, with a plethora of mixtapes and albums featuring a who's who of your favorite artists. Him and Snoop talk about his collab's with producer Sorry Jaynari for the By The Way...

This week we are joined by a double-threat talent - singer and actor (and who knows what else he's got up his sleeve), Algee Smith. In 2017, he starred in the three-part BET special, The New Edition Story, portraying Ralph Tresvant, as well as performing at The BET Awards, singing a rendition of Ralph's hit, "Sensitivity". Also in the year, he starred in the critically acclaimed movie, Detroit, and the world got introduced to his music when his debut EP, Listen, dropped. Yeah.. your boy's got...

This week at the GGN News desk, we welcome back, once again, the originator of the now classic Smoker's Studio answer to the question, "If you could have any super power, what would it be?". Do you remember the answer he gave? If you don't, just go back and peep his first appearance on the GGN. For now, let us proceed with today's show... Both K Camp and our host, Nemo Hoes, share an affinity for strip clubs, as can be seen and appreciated in Snoop's video for the song, "Trash Bags", that...

Our guest's career spans across generations, but his break came when director Spike Lee came to see his standup act.

We've had some of LA's finest artists on the GGN in the past, and this week we are bringing you a West Coast rapper that's been on the rise - G Perico. In 2016, his album S**t Don't Stop dropped, and when sources like Pitchfork and Fader showed it a lot of love, it just put a stamp on his name that G Perico was going to be a force in the game. Now, two years later, he slides thru the GGN and joins Nemo Hoes to talk about music, and much more. When he realized the streets weren't for him, he...

In 2017, Hip Hop film-heads knew that the 25th anniversary of one of their favorite flicks of all time, Juice, crept up on us, and we were treated to Tupac nostalgia one more time. This week on the GGN, Nemo Hoes sits down and chops it up with the man responsible for directing Juice and many other classic films - Ernest Dickerson joins us at the desk! He gives us an insider's look into the making of Juice, including a priceless story of a lady's number Tupac was actually thankful he didn't...

This week, the GGN News desk welcomes actress, writer, and producer Lena Waithe to the set.

Nemo Hoes chats it up with her about...
