ATLANTA — Comedian, activist and CNN host W. Kamau Bell admits he's no athlete and proved it multiple times this upcoming season on his Emmy-winning magazine series "United Shades of America," courtesy of taping an episode focused on sports.
In one hour in Boston, he gets aggressively wrestled to the ground, is exceedingly outpaced by a track star, drops many balls thrown at him and awkwardly rows down a river.
"If you're going to try to dismantle racism, you may as well do some pratfalls," mused Bell in a recent interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I did the wrestling and rowing on the same day. It took me a week to recover from that episode. I had some feelings. But my kids did find it funny seeing me get flipped."
