Grier: Gay guys get to tell f** jokes; I can't lecture you about your uterus because I don't have one. If it comes from me, a black man, I think it lands differently. There are certain cultural things that we, black comedians, have a different take on. I remember when O.J. Simpson got off, I had a white friend ask me if we were even now. I said, "No, what are you smoking, crack?"

ABCNews.com: Tell us about some of your upcoming "Chocolate News" skits.

Grier: We have a couple things in the can. One -- Condi Rice, what does she need to do? Perhaps she may need a vigorous handling by someone, perhaps lovemaking by someone. I'm not going to tell you who that someone is right now.

Another -- we want to know how this inauguration will be different. So we sit down with this black party planner, and it's all based on [the MTV reality show] "My Super Sweet 16." I hope to go to the inauguration; I would love to do a special.

ABCNews.com: How did you react to Obama's victory?

Grier: Let me tell you something. I was at an event, and this white woman next to me fell down on the ground weeping. ... At that point I was like, holy f**king s**t. It was amazing.

For me, the only mass emotion I've ever experienced in this country was grief. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., that was grief. 9/11, that was mass grief. And to turn on the TV and see these spontaneous celebrations around the country, around the world ... the thing that comes closest to that feeling was the night that Denzel Washington and Halle Berry won the Oscar. It was all about joy.

But don't get me wrong. I will give Barack Obama his a**. Look for those jokes.
