What In the Weekend With Nikki Woods: Make a Joyful Noise

Taraji P. Henson makes her debut as the host of the 2014 BET Celebration of Gospel. Performances by Tye Tribbett and Donnie McClurkin, Erica Campbell, Tamela Mann and more are expected to have everyone making a joyful noise come Sunday, April 6 at 8 p.m. If you want to DVR instead and get out of the house, there’s plenty to do.

Katt Williams is criss-crossing the country on the Growth Spurt tour and he’ll be hanging out with the Tom Joyner Morning Show crew on the show’s Favorite Comedians Week April 7-11.

If you’re wondering where Jay-Z got that “Eat the cake, Anna Mae” line, well, watch What’s Love Got to Do With It on BET this weekend. Most of you, especially if you have a basketball lover in the house, will be checking out The Final Four which starts at 6:09 on Saturday on TBS. Here’s more of what’s happening this weekend.
