Oscar nominee and talk show host MoNique will emcee a celebrity-filled comedy special.
The "Precious" star will host "Shaquille ONeal Presents: All-Star Comedy Jam" from Codeblack Entertainment, Shaq Entertainment and AEG Live.
The event will be taped in Dallas on the eve of the Feb. 14 NBA All-Star Game and is set to air on Showtime. Performers include comedians George Willborn, Mike Epps, Paul Mooney, Michael Blackson and Corey Holcomb.
"Its a testament to the strength of the All-Star Comedy Jam franchise that Codeblack and AEG Live locked in a comedienne as talented as MoNique," Codeblack Entertainment CEO Jeff Clanagan said. "We are looking to make comedy history because of the chemistry between her and Shaq and all the other talented comics in the lineup."
