    You know, you turn on the TV sometimes, and there he is, Bernie Mac. Big grin, that gravelly voice, talking straight to the camera, giving you the business. You almost forget. He's right there, full of life, full of… attitude.

    And then you remember. He's gone.

    Funny thing is, he was just hitting his stride, wasn’t he? He did it all. Janitor, bus driver, Wonder Bread man – you name it. Paid his dues, that's for sure. You gotta admire a guy who works that hard just to get to tell jokes on a stage. And he wasn't scared to tell the jokes. Def Comedy Jam, that was something else. Who else could walk out on that stage and tell a crowd he ain't scared of 'em?

    Then the "Bernie Mac Show." Smart show. It wasn't just another sitcom. It was real. It was funny, but it was real. Guy raising his sister’s kids, talking to the camera like we were all in on the joke. And it won awards. An Emmy, a Peabody. That's not just for making people laugh.
    And then, just like that, he's talking about retiring. Enjoying life. Said he wanted to spend time with his family, missed a lot on the road. You think, "Good for him. He deserves it."

    Sarcoidosis, they said. That's a nasty word, sarcoidosis. Another reminder that life ain't fair. You think a guy who worked that hard, made people laugh that much, would get a little more time.

    And he was only 50! Fifty! You know how old 50 is? It's just getting started!
    That's the thing about life, isn't it? You can have all the plans in the world, be right at the peak of your game, and then… *poof*. It's gone.

    Makes you think. Makes you wonder. Makes you want to appreciate every single day. Especially the ones you get to spend laughing. And Bernie Mac, well, he gave a lot of people a lot of laughs. You can't take that away. Even if he's gone.

    I'm Gail Nobles, and welcome to Ebonliner. Today, let’s dive into a topic that stirs fond memories and perhaps a little sentimentality: the beloved soap opera.

    For many, soap operas have been a staple of daytime television—an escape into worlds filled with drama, romance, and the perpetual question: Who will betray whom this week? Yet, in recent years, we witnessed a curious phenomenon: a lot of our cherished soaps were simply taken away, leaving fans to wonder if we were witnessing the final curtain on the golden age of the soap opera.

    But fear not, for hope springs eternal in the form of ‘Beyond the Gates,’ a new series poised to breathe life back into the genre. Premiering on CBS on February 24, 2025, this upcoming American soap opera promises to capture both hearts and imaginations once again.

    Set in a picturesque Maryland suburb just outside our nation's capital, ‘Beyond the Gates’ will follow the Dupree family—an affluent, multi-generational African-American clan living in the exclusive Fairmont Estates. This series is poised to make history as the first daytime soap to feature a predominantly African-American cast since ‘Generations’ graced our screens in the early ’90s. In a television landscape that often sidelines diverse narratives, it represents an exciting shift toward inclusivity in daytime programming.

    The arrival of ‘Beyond the Gates’ is a revival of the art form for a new generation. With production already underway in Atlanta, Georgia, anticipation is building around this project created by Michele Val Jean. It’s the first new daytime soap opera to premiere on a major American network in nearly three decades—a remarkable milestone in itself.

    As we look forward to its debut, it’s clear the world of soap operas is not ready to bow out just yet. And just like our favorite characters navigating scandals and secrets, we too shall rekindle the love for these heartfelt dramas. So, mark your calendars and prepare for a new chapter filled with intrigue, joy, and, undoubtedly, plenty of plot twists.

    The heart warming return of a classic American tradition. Until next time, have a good night.

    Story & Cover Art by: Gail Nobles

    In today's news, we're highlighting Khalilah Ali, the ex-wife of the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. Khalilah is not only known for her connection to the famous boxer but also for her impressive background in martial arts. She was actually taught by the iconic martial artist Bruce Lee.

    Khalilah has shared that she kept her martial arts training quiet because Muhammad Ali was such a well-known challenger in the boxing world. Throughout her life, she has had the unique opportunity to be around many influential people, including activists, political leaders, and even royalty. From a young age, she's learned valuable lessons from these remarkable figures.

    It's fascinating to think about the strong connections between Khalilah, Bruce Lee, and Muhammad Ali. While it's clear that Khalilah had a close relationship with Bruce Lee, it makes us wonder if Muhammad Ali ever had the chance to meet him. There’s no definitive public record of a documented meeting between them. Khalilah's journey, filled with encounters with so many important people, truly highlights her interesting and accomplished life.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Today's topic Khalilah Ali. Thank you for listening to Ebonliner.
