    To support and promote creativity, Cedric ‘The Entertainer’ Kyles returned to Southeast Missouri State University on March 23 for an evening of comedy to benefit scholarships. With a comedy career spanning 30 years and many memorable roles, Cedric Kyles has come a long way since graduating from SEMO in 1987.
  • “I see a young man on TV, riding a horse out of a barn, hugging a little girl. Let’s face it, I’m in the market for a useful idiot, and he’s strong and has that big goofy grin. So voila, there he is, the ideal candidate. He doesn’t have the brains of a plate of spaghetti, or seems not to. A cipher even to himself. Never even voted, can you believe it. Perfect, absolutely perfect. I’ll create him. I’ll be his Henry Higgins. And he’ll repay me with votes.” L.D. chuckled. “I had no idea what I was in for.”
