Tom Joyner Buys Out Theatre On The Tom Joyner Morning Show

Tom Joyner confirmed today that while Kevin Hart was co-hosting for 3 hours on the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show leading into the release of his latest movie ‘Think Like a Man Too’, Hart offered to donate $50,000 to send the Texas Southern University’s band to see Michael Strahan inducted into the Football Hall of Fame. After Kevin heard that the Tom Joyner Foundation was raising funds for the band he offered to help them get there. The Tom Joyner Foundation supports HBCUs.

In appreciation, while broadcasting live with Radio One's KMJQ-Majic 102.1 FM from the Breakfast Klub in Houston TX for the Texas Black Expo, Tom Joyner purchased 100 tickets to support Kevin’s film ‘Think Like a Man Too.’

“Since Kevin did the $50K donation I thought it would be a great idea to support his movie. So I've bought 100 tickets to the 10am show,” Joyner stated. Tickets were giving out during this morning’s live broadcast.

In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white.
