Chris Fleming Does His Own Take on the Urban Farmers on Forbes’ 30 Under 30
Where Chris Fleming’s mind goes off of just seeing a top 30 Under 30 list on Forbes is magical.
Watch his version of what an ‘urban farmer’ is here.
Amy Schumer Is First Woman to Make Forbes’ Top 10 Highest Earning Comedians List, Kevin Hart Scores Top Spot
Score two for diversity.
Kevin Hart was far and away the top earning comedian by pulling in $87.5 million and Schumer cracks into what is pretty much exclusively a boys club (no mention of Joan Rivers through the years seems odd) with $17 million.
Also, it’s nice to see Dave Chappelle and Jim Gaffigan on the list as that would suggest that this top 10 list isn’t getting more balanced with comedians that are oft-appreciated for their craft.
