Clint Black has a comedy special coming to TV in October. He tells Nashville's WKRN-TV that an official announcement will come soon. You might recall he was on the very short-lived CBS show Secret Talents of the Stars this year. Turns out Clint did several stand-up gigs, including two at Nashville's comedy club Zanies, to get ready for that show. That's when he caught the comedy bug. The CBS show may not have lasted long, but Black says it prompted several calls from TV execs and others who were interested in exploring his comedic style. Clint likes the idea and quips, "Ya know, people have been laughing at me my entire life, and it's time I got paid for it."
