A Tribute to D’Angelo and Diane Keaton

6 minutes

In this segment of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into a whirlwind of celebrity news and personal reflections, kicking things off with a somber yet heartfelt tribute to R&B icon D’Angelo, whose untimely passing at 51 from pancreatic cancer left fans reeling. Skin shares a deeply personal story about his connection to D’Angelo’s music, including seeing him live in Dallas three times since 1995. But it’s not all heavy. The gang lightens the mood with a hilarious breakdown of D’Angelo’s infamous “Untitled” music video — yes, the one with the V. KT confesses it inspired him to start doing sit-ups at age 11, while Ben and Skin riff on the absurdity of being a reluctant sex symbol. Cue the panty-throwing concert stories and a perfectly timed jab: “No one wants to be R. Kelly. Hindsight.”The segment also touches on the passing of Diane Keaton (no, she’s not related to Michael Keaton — we Googled it too), and the surprising hospitalization of Home Alone star Daniel Stern, prompting KT to jokingly predict he might be next in the celebrity “comes-in-threes” curse.From gut-punching grief to gut-busting laughs, this episode is a rollercoaster of emotion, nostalgia, and classic Ben and Skin banter.
