2. A Missouri native, Kent moved to New York in 1986 and held a variety of journalism jobs working at InStyle and People and contributing freelance humor articles to various publications. In 1996, he discovered the 'far more legitimate field of fake news' at The Daily Show on Comedy Central, where he was a writer for five years. In 2000, Kent and his fellow writers won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy, Variety or Special, as well as the Peabody Award for Excellence in Broadcasting. Kent then moved to Los Angeles and worked as a producer on shows at Oxygen and ABC.
In 2004 Kent moved back to New York to become part of the launch of Air America Radio. He wrote for Unfiltered with Lizz Winstead, Chuck D and Rachel Maddow where he delivered the "Unfiltered News." He also wrote extensively for Morning Sedition where he performed several characters including Foreign Correspondent Angus McFarquhar, Bill from Harlem and, most frequently, Planet Bush Bureau Chief Lawton Smalls. After the cancellation of Morning Sedition in December 2005, Kent continued to write and perform on The Marc Maron Show until its cancellation in July 2006. He most recently appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show, with daily Sports and "Kent Jones Now" segments and additional co-hosting, especially during her "Ask Dr. Maddow" and "Pet Story" segments. The Lawton Smalls character still makes "calls" to The Sam Seder Show and was on the Nov 7th 2006 live webcam election coverage with Rachel Maddow.
Kent left Air America on Friday, December 14th, 2007, as a result of a "business decision" by the management.
He is now a regular contributor to "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC. His segment "Just Enough" airs during the last two minutes of the show and focuses on pop culture news.

Kent Jones
Must feel good to have a worldwide hit, huh papito?
Welcome to the club

She telling me this
You said once you take me with you, Iβll never go back (Moolah baby)
Now I got a lesson that I want to teach ya (And this is)
I'mma show you that where you from donβt matter to me (This is the remix baby, yeah)
She said "Hola, ΒΏCΓ³mo estΓ‘s?, she said "Konnichiwa" (This is the remix baby)
She said "Pardon my French", I said "Bonjour Madame" (This is the remix baby, yeah)
Then she said "Sak pase" and I said "N'ap boule" (This is the remix baby, yeah)
No matter where I go, you know I love 'em all
I'm surrounded by Caribbean queens
I'm talkin' Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Dominican things
I got Jamaicans and them Haitians, no un poco santi
I got them Trini's and them Beijing's and they all for me
Let's not talk about the woman down in Mexico
Yeah they pretty but they could be cartel on the low
So ten cuidado, down in Brazil, they got booties for real
Those Colombians are stunners, they got looks that could kill
She told me, βAy papacito, ay mi rey"
She said "De dΓ³nde tu eres? I wanna stay"
I got my money for sure, got my passport for sure
As soon as she hit the bathroom, I hit the door
I'm gone
She said "Hola, ΒΏCΓ³mo estΓ‘s?, she said "Konnichiwa"
She said "Pardon my French", I said "Bonjour Madame"
Then she said "Sak pase" and I said "N'ap boule"
No matter where I go, you know I love 'em all
She said "Hola, ΒΏCΓ³mo estΓ‘s?, she said "Konnichiwa"
She said "Pardon my French", I said "Bonjour Madame"
Then she said "Sak pase" and I said "N'ap boule"
No matter where I go, you know I love 'em all
Bonjour mademoiselle, je m'appelle Lil Tunechi
Might want cover your ears, 'cause Young Moolah, we boomin'
I'm a savage, I'm a beast, I have sex on the beach
And my ho speak foreign, and my plug speak foreign
I pull up in something foreign, my bitch light orange
I'm rockin' Ralph Lauren and some Chucks like Norris
And these other ducks boring, and my bucks foreign
Codeine in my urine so I'm snoring and ignoring
When she telling me this
And telling me that (Yes Lord)
You said once you take me with you, Iβll never go back (Moolah baby)
Now I got a lesson that I want to teach ya (And this is)
I'mma show you that where you from donβt matter to me (This is the remix baby, yeah)

She said "Pardon my French", I said "Bonjour Madame"
Then she said "Sak pase" and I said "N'ap boule"
No matter where I go
Lord have mercy, I can't help but keep it G
Grab your girls if you with them
If you ain't take the keys and go and get them
While you at it get your mom so I can thank her for your courage
'Cause you got them family genes and I love the way you fit 'em
She don't wanna leave, why? 'Cause I'm a true religion
Tell your friend to be my guest, and if she smart she know the rest
I had way too much Belaire, and I'm quiet sure you can tell it
To be real I forgot your name, so I'm askin' how you spell it
You keep
Felicidades
This the remix
And this is the remix baby
It's We The Best epidemic, epic!

The song "Don" by Kent Jones is a celebration of women from different parts of the world. The song is essentially an ode to women from various countries and cultures. The lyrics reveal that no matter where Kent Jones goes, he loves all women equally, regardless of their background or language. The song opens up with a reference to his record label βWe The Best Musicβ and a shoutout to Mr. 305, aka Pitbull.
In the first verse, the object of his affection is telling him different things in different languages β Spanish (Hola, ΒΏCΓ³mo estΓ‘s?), Japanese (Konnichiwa), French (Pardon my French) β and he responds in kind, showing off his multilingual skills. His love for women from different cultures is demonstrated as he mentions Caribbean women (Cubans, Dominicans, Jamaicans, Haitians), Trinis, Beijing Women, Mexicans, Brazilians, Colombians, and more.
The second verse features a guest verse from Lil Wayne where he boasts about his sexual prowess and money. The third verse features Kent Jones again, and he speaks on the beauty of the woman heβs with and her courage. The song is catchy, upbeat, and an affirmation of universal love for women regardless of race or country.
