I Guess This Means Giuliani’s Civility Campaign Is Officially Over

The wildly successful Wilmer Valderrama-hosted “Yo Mamma” MTV show is scouting Queens talent:

When 18-year-old Ozone Park native Travis Moyer told his friend Brandon Jacobson that his mother was so dumb “she thought a quarterback was a refund,” he took a step back, glared at Moyer and ran his fingers across the brim of his hat. He processed the insult and planned his next move. To an onlooker the atmosphere would seem tense, but instead he cracked a smile and simply said “nice.”

Moyer and Jacobson aren’t trading barbs, they’re practicing. Outside of the South Queens Boys and Girls Club in Richmond Hill, 19-year-old Jacobson, also from Ozone Park, and Moyer are practicing before they audition for the open casting call for the popular MTV show “Yo Mamma.”

. . .

On Sunday, MTV staked out the club in what was the second New York casting call for the show, which pits trash-talkers from different neighborhoods against one another. MTV plans on holding several more casting calls around the five boroughs before shooting its New York area shows on June 20.

Though occasional laughter could be heard coming from outside as Moyer and Jacobson continued to practice, the atmosphere inside the club’s gym was a bit more tense. In the trash can outside of the gym, lists of jokes were visible on discarded computer printouts. As some potential contestants filled out their application forms, others could be seen mouthing one-liners to themselves as they waited their turn.

For MTV’s New York shows, the network plans on pitting the five boroughs against each other to compete for the crown of best trash-talker in the city. Terrell Davis, 21, of Richmond Hill, was confident that even if he didn’t get on the show, someone from Queens would bring the trash-talking crown back to the borough.

“In Queens, you grow up trash-talking, everyone else got nothing on us,” he said. “We got the sharpest tongues. Brooklyn? More like Brokelyn. Manhattan? Please. Queens is the most rugged, we’re taking this thing.”
