With so much drama on the screens it’s kind of hard picking just what to watch. Or listen to it. Or read it, there is no God but God forbid. Jess Hilarious outlined the numbers for The Breakfast Club and its move to Netflix. She stated that a forty-five to fifty percent jump in viewership arose from the deal.

This is monumental for a pretty damn good show. It took the city by storm, then the country, then the world. While it has earned the name Breakfast “Slop” over the years, it remains an interesting and culturally significant part of the worlds of entertainment, sports, and politics. They’ve had legendary guests and monumental moments that still reverberate through the landscape.

Jess explained that while it was rough going to cement the deal and ease into a comfortable spot in the sphere, she thanked Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee for laying the groundwork on which she now treads. She seemed excited to know that people have increased their attention and made the show all the more special to people of various demographics and locations.

For the team to assemble, Jess had to ensure that she would take care of herself and her co-hosts by giving everyone the same amount of space and time as before Netflix came calling.

She mentioned her respect for the streaming platform which wants to get into music and comedy among other forms of media. Her excitement seems genuine and she is ready to get to the essence of hip hop and R&B radio. While other shows like Steve Harvey had trounced the Club for years in ratings wars, this new venture ought to prove to be advantageous for the trio.

If Jess is correct, she will have the weight of the world on her back but laughing all the while making deposits in the bank.

Netflix started out before Google even was thought of by many. Their deals with the likes of comics including Dave Chappelle have become staples to the streamer. For Breakfast to be part of the fabric of the platform, there’s definitely a specific way of seeing why the executives at Netflix chose them.

Because of their ability to chop up serious content with outlandish, funny stories and a heavy emphasis on special guests, they have risen to the levels of greatness on that front.

While unverified, Jess still claims the jump in viewership/listenership through this service. What they will have to do is keep that same energy in order to properly serve the people of earth. Jess has displayed that this is a significant step in furthering the success of the storied morning show. It has played out well for the threesome and they seem to gel together well. As Jess delivers the jokes and cracks on her male co-hosts, it feels like a dysfunctional family trying to work out their problems in therapy with each episode.

For all the yuck yucks, there have been serious times on the show like conversations with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Even then, the tone seemed lighter. But over the years, the program has gained wide acclaim for handling police shootings of young black teens and even natural disasters.

The team is strong because of Jess. Her female perspectives keep the males in check and also in stitches. That’s a good thing. If The Breakfast Club is to have a vibrant future, it ought to make a powerful statement as not just another rap and soul station, but one that brings about even more change in an ever expanding world. That's a fact.
