Oakwoodite actor, comedian and live event host Jonathan B. Slocumb is set to receive his first Stellar Awards Honor during a taped broadcast later this month. Slocumb's clean, wholesome comedy has landed him on many stages from hosting the Essence Music Festival for eight years, serving as MC for the UNCF Gala in Huntsville, to most recently touring with Aretha Franklin. His easy-going attitude, exceptional work ethic and sharp style have help solidify a solid reputation as the go-to class act for corporations and celebrities alike.
"The Stellar Awards Executive Committee unanimously agreed to bestow 'Stellar Honors' to Jonathan Slocumb. The honor exemplifies his remarkable achievements as a faith-based comedy pioneer and dedicated supporter of our Stellar Awards," noted Don Jackson, Stellar Awards Founder, Chairman and Executive Producer.
"I'm honored to join the elite list of Stellar Honors recipients. The Stellar Awards, as well as Bobby Jones Gospel, helped launch my career and ultimately brought to the forefront the genre of comedy that I initiated called 'gospel comedy.' It is significant to receive this honor from the institution that birthed it all," said Slocumb.
The 2016 Stellar Awards will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 20, and will air in broadcast syndication on 150 stations in over 125 markets around the country from April 5-10, 2016, on the TV One network, and May 12th and 16th on Bounce TV.
