Starting point is 00:06:17 Come on, Skip. Come on. Tell me. You know, and I just it's it's it a it's like with a lot of impersonators right you got pharaoh you got uh uh airy spears and it's just you just it just you hear it and if it's in your range it's a natural gift it's like when musicians can just go all right let me just play you know they can play something and tune it's like when they tune it with a piano or a horn right it's the same like one of my fave my first impersonations was was uh ali okay when i was like five okay because my parent my um relatives come from nigeria okay and they would say do do muhammad ali we'll give you one dollar dude i'd be like i'm fast i'm pretty i shook up the world i'm the greatest i told you how it co-sale you too ugly. Joe Frazier's too ugly.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Ken Norton's too ugly. George Foreman's too ugly. I'm fast. I must be the greatest. I used to do that at five. Right. Right. And so I was like, OK, I could do voices. And so I would cartoons, cartoon characters. And what's up, Doc? I would do that. Right. So I was just always into imitating people and then when i started comedy actually when i started comedy it was like my first my first time i was in a comedy team for a year okay all right this is chicago i'm from chicago you know shout out to all the chicago comedians because i heard the chicago they say chicago got the best comedian that's what little
Starting point is 00:07:41 real told me but uh little real might be right on that one because chicago what about the dmv you know they got quake listen man i ain't from the dmv i said it i said chicago got the best you got me you got dion cole you got d ray davis you got little rel bernie mac shout out to bernie mac and there's other cats my man evan lionel who literally started bernie mac in his, who literally started comedy for black comics in Chicago. Evan Lionel got to give him his credit. But there's a lot of a lot of great comics from Chicago. You got Adele Gibbons. Yes. Oh, yeah. Adele Gibbons. You got. Oh, what? Oh, God. From the talk. Oh, Sheryl Underwood. Sheryl Underwood is from Chicago. We got a lot of great and a lot of younger people coming up.
Starting point is 00:08:29 But yeah, we're all... Craig Robinson. Right, okay. Craig Robinson from Chicago. So you have a lot... It's something about Chicago. We're all different. We're all different styles.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Everybody says, none of you are the same. I said, it's something about Chicago. But I started out in a comedy team. Right. And a team with another guy. It was Godfrey and alexander and and my first time on stage it was impersonations we would it was a duo thing so he played like a hypnotist and he would it was some corny shit but he would hypnotize me and shit
Starting point is 00:08:57 he's like oh i'm a hypnotist i'm gonna make you do different people so my first was bill cosby okay and i know now cosby is kind of a taboo taboo but it you know let's go for it so i'd be like you see the people and you got to understand how to do that you know what i'm saying and so i did cosby then i did johnny carson okay because i said you know nobody's seen a black dude do Johnny Carson. So I would go, wow, good stuff. I did not know that. Wow. Shannon, this is a great show. Wow.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Wow. I would do that. So it was Ali. Those were my first impersonations. But I never really, I didn't dwell on impersonations. Because if you depend on impersonations, your act gets corny. Right. So I made sure when I was doing comedy
Starting point is 00:09:47 In Chicago, I moved I finally I did it for about three years and I I went solo and you know It's so funny. The person who told me to leave my comedy team was Steve Harvey The gap so was that before but before he told were you Impersonating him before or after? Oh, I was impersonating Steve only like three, four years ago. Okay. I never impersonated him. I wasn't interested, you know.
Starting point is 00:10:12 But he told me, because one day there was a club called All Jokes Aside in Chicago. Okay. It was the number one black comedy club for seven years. Shout out to Raymond Lambert, Mary Lindsay, and James Alexander. It was the number one club in chicago because a lot of times when you would do black urban rooms yeah it would be a black night at a white establishment you know what i'm saying so but this was chicago was a black comedy club in the 90s that was open seven days a week all right and so that's from there i went solo i broke up with the guy that i was with i wanted to go solo so how difficult was that because you had got i'm sure
Starting point is 00:10:50 you guys had been together for what three four five years about two years about two strong years you know and i was like i was a little because he i don't think he was as passionate as i was in it i was writing most of the sketches and then i was like like, you know what? I think I'm going to go solo. So I started writing shit on the side, like just in case this doesn't go well, I'm going to do shit on my own. So I started writing stuff on my own, and it was kind of easy to keep it moving.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Because you know what I'm saying? I just started doing shit on my own. I didn't even really tell him. I just started going on my own. And then from there, I ran into tk kirkland okay okay now people if you know tk tk kirkland t to the above fucking k i ran into him because i would do shows with him at this club all jokes aside and then tk said god three man i need to take you to new york city he's like i like your style you kind of corny but you know what i like you and i'm gonna

Starting point is 00:12:49 I was meeting all kinds of people. And that was when, you know, I said, yeah, I'm going to start doing this on my own. You know what I mean? I drove 20 hours in a U-Haul truck. Right. 20 hours with my friend Bernadette, who was in Love Jones. We drove 20 hours. And then from there, that was when i started to you know and
Starting point is 00:13:06 my manager at the time said you can do a lot of voices but don't count on that don't make that your thing okay do build on your your comedy build on your jokes and your material and i said okay i'm gonna do that so the voice thing now people didn't even know I did all these voices until the pandemic. Wow. Nobody knew because I've auditioned for different sketch comedy shows. Live in Color didn't get that shit. SNL rejected me three times. Three times. I auditioned for SNL in, was it 98, 99?

Starting point is 00:14:11 because i saw eddie murphy in college right okay when he was doing the raw tour yes he came by our school and i was like shit i was like damn and another i have to give tommy davidson credit from the dmb he came and performed in my. He was one of the main guys that really influenced me to do comedy because in college is when I wanted to do comedy. I was like, yeah, my third year. I was like, I think I want to do comedy. I was a pre-med psych major, you know, and I was like, yeah, there's Tommy Davidson because Tommy Davidson. I showed him around the campus. He came to my campus and showed him around. Tommy Davidson. I showed him around the campus. He came to my campus. I showed him around. And then some years later, when I got to New York doing comedy in New York, I did this show called Premium Blend. Premium Blend is on Comedy Central. That was when Comedy Central was funny. Right. Oh, that's what it was like.
Starting point is 00:14:59 That was a sneak dissonance. But Comedy Central was dope, you know. And so Premium Blend is like you get up there and you do like seven minutes so this was exciting for me i've never done tv comedy on tv and what's funny as the as as as things go around and round tommy davidson was the host of that show i was on and he remembered me he said you dude that showed me around your campus i was like yo you're one of the main reasons i wanted to do comedy. Right. So it was Tommy Davidson.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Growing up, obviously, you grew up in Chicago. Did you always want to do comedy? What did you want to do before you discovered comedy? Okay. I thought I was going to be a baseball player. I was a shortstop. I played baseball from Little League up to high school. I thought I was going to be a shortstop.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Okay. And I thought I was going to be an astronaut. I wanted to be either an astronaut or a baseball player. That's what I thought I was going to a shortstop okay and i thought i was gonna be an astronaut i wanted to be either astronaut or a baseball player that's what i thought i was gonna because i was a space nerd well there's a lot of things in between that but okay no i thought i was gonna be a baseball player or yeah or a shortstop or or um work for nasa you know what i'm saying and i thought i was gonna that's what i never thought about comedy but i loved watching comedies my family and my parents we watched comedy my mother was a big uh movie watcher especially uh comedies you know with three stoogesoges, Don Knotts, Honeymooners,

Starting point is 00:16:40 Red Fox. Yes. You know what I'm saying? And that's, I never thought about comedy until college. Yes. You know what I'm saying? And I never thought about comedy until college. Right. Because people always say, oh, you were funny. Why did you start doing comedy? Because people say I was funny.
Starting point is 00:16:54 It wasn't even really like that because my friends were funny, too. But in college, I used to always hold court in the cafeteria. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:19:52 Right. You know what I'm saying? So I said, man, and this girl and I want to give her a shout out. It was a girl. It was a rebound chick because I broke up with the girl I was dating on campus. It's rebound. I'm gonna give her props. Her name is Toya Dixon.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I will never forget this. I always talked about, you know, I should do some comedy. I'm gonna give her props. Her name is Toya Dixon. I'm gonna I will never forget this I always talked about you know, I should do some comedy. She's doing the stand-up and I remember one day I was just riffing talking shit. She wrote everything down on a yellow piece of paper. Let you know this little yeah Yeah, yeah, what does it call legal the legal pad? So she's writing all these jokes and shit and I and I woke up I said yo, what is all this? She goes remember all the shit you were talking about yesterday was so funny. I wrote it all down. You should do this comedy thing.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Wow. So from there, I said, when I get back to the city, because, you know, Champaign-Urbana is a couple of, you know, it's a couple hours away from Chicago. I said, I'm going to go to the open mics. And that's when that's when that shit. That's when the bug hit. The bug hit. And I remember that's when I met with my partner to do comedy solo and a comedy team. Then, you know, the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:20:55 And it was that's how pretty much it started, man. And I said, I want to do comedy because I'm different. And I've always been very different. I'm very I'm original. I take pride in my originality. I take pride that. Well, listen, here's the thing been very different. I'm original. I take pride in my originality. I take pride that, well, listen, here's the thing about being different. When you're different, it's a longer road.
Starting point is 00:21:11 You see? Because they can't put you in a box. But all my acting teachers say, don't let anybody put you in a box. Be amorphic. I go, this shit ain't working. You know what I'm saying? But I always took pride in being different.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Did they say anything about be employed? Yeah. But I mean, I'm not. Listen, I've done things, you know. Right. But I take pride in. You can see a bunch of comedians, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:38 You go to a comedy show, you see a whole bunch of people. But a lot of times people are doing the same kind of shit. But one thing I took pride in for myself was that, bam, I said was different he was you know what i'm saying it's like i took pride in being doing really smart shit you know that was my thing because a lot of comedians that i know and i'm not cracking but a lot of comedians that i know that look like me are way more intelligent than a lot of than what you see on stage right a lot of them have degrees a lot of them are engineers and all this other and then they go up there doing this shit i go you're not even from that neighborhood why are you front be yourself i always believed in being myself one of the first
Starting point is 00:22:15 places that i did start in was it also was the cotton club in chicago real quick the cotton club which bernie mack hosted every monday okay and that was when when i first doing open mics i was doing mainstream shit mainstream just you know everybody's there mainstream but they say the white rooms but mainstream so i said you know what i want to do some i want to do black shit i need to make sure i'm legit you know what i'm saying and they said well you need to go see bernie mack and i was at this little poetry recital. I said, Bernie Mac, who's that? He said, he's on the south side. You go to his night on Mondays.
Starting point is 00:22:49 He has a band and shit. You go Jimmy Carwash Spinks. Remember Carwash? Remember the guy that played Hippo, the big fat dude? Jimmy's from Chicago, too. And it was like, you got to go to their night. So I went and I said, let me go over there and see this Bernie Mac dude. So I went on Monday just to check it out.
Starting point is 00:23:04 And I see this dark-skinned dude with glasses you know i walk when you walk in the cotton club the stage is right there so you can get talked about so you see bernie with this big towel he's i'm sick and tired of being a motherfucking sick and tired i'm telling you i'm tired of this shit you know right and i was like who the fuck is that bernie mac and so after he got off stage i said hey bernie uh he go what's your name man what's your motherfucking name i said it's god he said all right i said i'm i'm i just started doing comedy i would like to you know i heard about your night he said okay come next monday eight o'clock you got five motherfucking minutes right and if you go in if you go any
Starting point is 00:23:40 further the band go motherfucking play i said all right that's where i had my relationship with bernie mack the whole night and bernie was impressed by me because i was one of the first dudes imitating him right d ray i was the first i was one of the first dudes imitating him and he said the one thing i like about you godfrey is you do that you you're yourself and in the cotton club it was pimps hustlers bishop don juan yes he saw me when i first started bishop don juan from chicago lisa ray used to come through uh the bulls it was you see michael jordan ahmad rashad you see yeah so it was it was a whole chicago black elite and yeah so bernie was like you don't even change your you don't even you could do mainstream you stay the
Starting point is 00:24:23 same i said well that's what i think is the best about comedy is being yourself and being true to yourself. Right. You know what I'm saying? Because real gangsters know if you fake. They know. You know what? I had cattle. Obviously, you know, I had cattle. Yeah. And I see that. I ask him. And it's funny that you say that you said mainstream and then you say the black. So when you in front of a black audience, yes, you do comedy one way. But if you're in front of a black audience yes you do comedy one way but if you're in front of a mainly white audience do you change no and here's the thing you tell the same jokes man and with black audiences because there's so i travel around the country i've been a headliner for more than 15 years and when i travel around
Starting point is 00:25:00 the country there's some cities where it's all black like if i'm in cleveland yeah yeah if i'm in uh uh baltimore yeah it's black but i still do the same but the thing about talking about race because i'm a race guy i love going in even all white audiences i go in i don't go hey man it's racism we need to stop that shit i go nah let me tell you about you guys let me tell about your little microaggressions yeah you know i go in but it's a craft right if you can craft it right i do trump trump support i do i do the south trump support and i'm talking about right fucking hillbilly motherfuckers you know you're from the south right of course you've seen them southerners the mouth don't move what they's Tayshaun right now? Man, that hill. And he dying right there. Where they fucking the mouth.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Right. Yeah, they fuck with me. But it depends on how you navigate the joke. Right. You know, I never change. Black people just make you more loose. Right. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:25:57 Because you're in front of your people. You're in front of your people, but yeah. But you got to be funny because they're going to let you know you're not funny. Oh, no, no, no. Funny is funny. Yeah. And there's people who are the ghetto comics that aren't funny. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:08 And there's the intelligent ones that are funny. It depends on the person. Funny is funny. I don't give a fuck what you're doing. Right. Juggling, whatever. Right. Funny is funny.
Starting point is 00:26:16 So I never change my shit. And one thing I know about black audiences, they like it if you're keeping it real, you're from the global, but they like it when you're talking about that pro-black shit, too. Oh, yeah. They like both of that. Because whenever I'm talking about it, you can hear it real, you're from Louisville, but they like it when you're talking about that pro-black shit, too. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:30:32 It's a little ta-yah. It's a little spice on that, right? Right. And we had a debate about that. I said, well, why do you use the word? Why do you use that word in front of people when you're really not like that? I understand cats that are like that. Like, Cat Williams, when he does it, it's you don't like that all the time
Starting point is 00:30:49 yeah it's certain people that you go yeah i get that right but there's some other cats right that i go yo you're not even like that but you when you get in front of a certain audience you use it in front of them i don't know if it's irresponsible listen i'm not telling anybody how to do comedy right but i just feel weird doing it i don't even use it in front of them i don't know if it's irresponsible listen i'm not telling anybody how to do comedy right but i just feel weird doing it i don't even use it in front of black audiences okay you know yeah yeah but for me this is my style this is my style but when i do use the word the n-word i i'm i'm making a point about the n-word okay because i have a joke about the double g words right you know what i mean double g words something about the double g word like you got the n word you got the f word two g's yeah and if you know harry potter you ever know about harry potter i'm a harry potter fan where there's a muggle they call him a muggle okay that means

Starting point is 00:32:14 want to know why people use it someone told me well i don't want them to i don't i want it i feel comfortable saying it because i'm not going to let them determine you know how i say the word i'm not i'm taking the word back i said that was never your word right what do you mean you taking it back they gave it to you right you're saying so if i'm it desensitizes the word really so when they call you the name out of out of vitriol then you react to it you get mad so how is it desensitizing you i'm just saying if it if someone calls your name you shouldn't even flinch you go i say it so much it doesn't even bother me but it still stings that's all it's just a debate we're still having with the n-word get in on the action with draft king

And I read that he wasn't too enthused about it. Because like you said, he gave you some great advice early. And then you turn around years later. Let me see. Let me get some of this cognac.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Oh, boy, Shady, boy, you made it up, man. That cognac good, boy. I'll tell you right now. That cognac good, boy. I'm going to tell you right now. That cognac good. Like my grandmama said, if you ain't going to drink cognac, better get that Hennessy. So, Steve Harvey met him, like, when Cat called it a man unit. Yeah. Oh, that was fucking funny.
Starting point is 00:34:42 God. I remember when Steve Harvey had hair and it was kind of you know thinning and i was in the hallway and i was mad about something i think we opened up for steve harvey and steve goes he goes you know what's the matter with you i said ah man my partner he's not really doing the lines he's fucking up the shit and steve goes how much you getting for this gig i said um we're getting like a hundred dollars he goes so that means you splitting it i say yeah he's are you trying to split in that shit i say yeah he goes cut his ass and he left and that's when i went solo because of steve harvey right fast forward to now fast
Starting point is 00:35:22 forward to about four years ago right i'm on'm on my podcast, by the way, in Godfrey, we trust on the gas digital network. So my the guy that I was co-hosting with, he was like he said something. He answered a question real fast. He got frantic. I said, damn, this ain't the family feud. And I was like, yeah, what's your ass say? I said, yo, dumb ass. family feud and i was like yeah what's your ass say i said your dumb ass gonna answer yeah yeah so i did it on some bullshit right and then the next day everybody said your shit is going viral i said what he said that's steve harvey shit you did i said oh i didn't know so then like all the comments were calling me jay ferrell's goal yo man, man, I did not know you had a Steve Harvey. I go, don't you have a Steve Harvey?
Starting point is 00:36:07 I thought everybody does Steve Harvey. They say, no, you're the only one doing Steve Harvey. So it kept going viral. And Steve sent me a text. He goes, boy, when I see you, I'm going to beat your ass. I could just hear his voice in the text. Oh, you got me fucked up, boy. I'm going to tell you this right now. I'm from Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:36:24 I don't know you know me. Steve, boy. I'm going to tell you this right now. I'm from Cleveland. I don't know you know me. Steve, I hope you see this imitation. Because, yeah, boy. And his hand. I got the. You got the mannerism. I'm going to tell you, God has blessed me. See, I was sleeping in my car.
Starting point is 00:36:38 I had no damn money. But now I got money, boy. I'm going to fine your ass. And people say, that's Steve. You ain't trying to laugh too hard. No, no, no, no. Because when I first heard it, like I said, if it sounds like that person to your ear, that's a real good imitation. And when you're doing it, now I guarantee you, if you were to ask Steve, Steve will say to his ear, it sounds like him speaking.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Because he does with his W's. Why? Now, where am I going to find that? You're going to say I had a wig. I ain't no damn wig. Where in the world would I have a wig? And why? You got me fucked up.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Wherever I see you, I'm going to wear your ass out, boy. Have you ever done that in front of him? Hell no. Top five answers on the board. Here's the question. Name something Steve fit to do to Godfrey when he see his ass. Whoop his ass, number one answer,
Starting point is 00:37:40 boy. We got the Harvids and Godfrey. let's play the but yeah i you know and and i just kept perfecting i would watch one day i was on the road and you know how family feud sometimes the cable be trash in a hotel and it was just family feud for three hours i was like i ain't got shit to do right let me watch ste watch Steve Harvey because he's so good. He's fantastic. He's unbelievable, bro. Remember we had Richard Dawson.

Hey, what's your answer? All right. He went tough. He was a smooth mug. I don't know if people remember Richard Dawson. Richard Dawson was the white dude from Hogan's Heroes.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Hogan's Heroes. Yeah. And he would kiss. He's like, how you doing, love? Yeah. He had that long ass bite. Like the Bob Barker joint. Yeah. That long ass bite. Like the Bob Barker joint. Yeah, so Steve, like, what was I going to say?
Starting point is 00:38:50 Steve is so good at it, I was watching for hours. And I said, damn, look at what he does. And so, you know, he's always joking. Right. Steve don't let shit go. So you can be like, name an animal that, you know, you have in the house. And he's like, I'll say dog. What y'all ass say
Starting point is 00:39:05 dog he said dog yeah and he'd go to the audience go out there so i was like look at he does this right he goes he said dog i never heard i was like i said he keeps doing that. I go, okay. So I started going, yeah, yeah. Yo. Yeah. And I said, I think I got it. And in your head, you're like, I think I got it. Right. And so people are like, yo, you got that shit. You know, it's like with Trump.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Same thing with Trump. I was watching Trump. And I turned off the volume. And I just saw his mouth. It's very tiny. Big head. This is a very good show very good show shannon sharp one of my favorite shows that i've ever seen uh club shasha very good show club shasha whatever you call it i've watched millions and millions of shows and this one is perfect perfect i don't watch a lot of black shows but this one better than
Starting point is 00:40:09 jimmy kimmel better than any other joe rogan there are pieces of shit but this one is top one of the greatest i love this show i watch it all the time i think i'll get more views than cat williams so did you stumble upon, like, you like, did you, do you stumble upon them or do you just try and practice? I just stumble. I'll look at stuff and I'll go, hmm. I'll look and say, I think I could do this, dude. You know what I mean? I'll just look and go, that might be a good one.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Trump, who doesn't want to have a Trump? Right. And to do Trump, I'll do Trump in front of, like, Republican audiences. Right. It's neutralizing because I'm not hating him or I'm just saying, man, Trump makes me laugh. Right. You know, Trump, you know, Trump has a ceiling of intelligence. When he hits his ceiling, he goes high school on you.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Right. You know, if you bring up something, Donald, let me tell you something, Donald. You don't understand the oil crisis in 1978. It was prices of oil were ten dollars a barrel. And Trump would go in thereald you don't understand the oil crisis 1978 it was uh prices of oil were ten dollars a barrel and trump would go and then trump don't notice it he'd be like this guy's a piece of shit you always he's trying to be a tough guy i don't i never liked you your wife's a crisis your wife's a crisis you're a piece of shit i know oil lots of oil yeah olive oil vegetable oil so he would you know so i just started to get it and i started
Starting point is 00:41:27 getting i started watching him more and he's new york he's from new york right so when he goes i talk to him there's that accent i say i hear that i talked to him the other day so he's still got to put the new york thing in right so there's little nuances i catch how how important are the mannerisms because when you do steve harvey you do all of his mannerisms when you. How important are the mannerisms? Because when you do Steve Harvey, you do all of his mannerisms. When you do Trump, you do the mannerisms. You've really honed in on that aspect. Yeah, you have to. You have to.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Mannerisms count because it's the person you're being the person. It's like as an actor, you're being the person. Like if you prior shit, God damn. You niggas is crazy. Jack, I love your show. Shit. I'm watching that shit like a motherfucker. Jack, I bet you get a lot of white bitches. Don't you?

Starting point is 00:43:13 if you don't know how to get to Sesame Street I'm gonna show you ass so when I was there I remember to watch Cosby every to watch him every Thursday like to do the sitcom with Dougie Doug, Madeline Kahn. I was there. I was introduced. I would introduce Felicia Rashad. I was the audio coordinator. Right. But I had to tell jokes to 250 people for eight hours. Right. Eight hours. I'm just talking. I had to be clean. No singing, no nothing. You ask a question, but you keep joking. Right. had to be clean no singing no nothing you ask a question but you gotta keep joking right when the lights come on you show them talk oh man and i remember one day um i walked into cosby's office

Starting point is 00:44:40 comedians that we we tend to ignore right one of the greatest some of the greatest hbo specials simbad thank you for he's recovering he's getting better speaking well but yeah but that's how i imitated people if i'm around you long enough right i can start doing you right like one of the comic one of my comic colleagues that i started imitating was dion cole really yeah dion cole when we were in chicago like yo man you sound just like me i would do yo you have understand man how you do that shit so i started imitating my friends so i could just if i hear it and it's in my range i go i think i can do it you know what i'm saying so that's where yeah the trump. Trump is selling sneakers. You get a pair? Black people love sneakers.
Starting point is 00:45:28 And let me tell you something. I released it because I'm a genius. I released it during Black History Month. Perfect month for black people. I didn't get the sneakers. But they weren't that bad looking. I ain't gonna front. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:42 They just painted them. They were just simple. I've had shoes, sneakers like like that but they just painted them as trump pushing them i don't even think they're made i think they're pre-ordered i don't think they're even completed right you don't say i think it's bullshit did you get some no no i did not better than your sneakers shasha way better so what do you think his chances are winning i think they're he's trying to do something the only grover cleveland has ever done hold the office lose the office win it back uh sort of like michael jordan you know i'm saying but i think he might win it i think listen man he won the first time we thought hell no no chance and he he might he might win look at he has eight
Starting point is 00:46:20 thousand felonies eight thousand felonies and this motherfucker has a chance i think biden just right he just got the democratic yes nod yes i don't even know if he knows but he got i got the nod come on yeah i got the nod yeah i don't think they're gonna estimate i don't think they're i don't think people are underestimating former president trump like they did in 2016 because he's held the office. So, you know, he's capable of holding it again. And the thing about Trump is he never stays out of the public. He's always still connecting to it, whether it's some bullshit. He's always in their presence.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Trump is always present. I think about Trump. I'll say, what is Trump doing right now? I'll think about Trump. And he's just he's a businessman. He's all about being in front of people. He wants you to say his name. That's one thing about business people.
Starting point is 00:47:10 They want you, whether it's bad or good, just say my name. Right. Trump. I don't give a damn if you hate me, but the one thing Trump has a weakness of is not paying attention to him. If you're indifferent, that's his weakness. But if you go, fuck you, Trump, he's like, this is great people. Yeah. He's like Thanos.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Yeah. The more you hate him, the stronger he gets. You know what I'm saying? So he might win it. I don't know. You know how this country gets? Of course. You know when the good old boys go, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:47:39 We're going to make it great again. He's like, you got to make this goddamn good and great again. But you said Denzel. You like to see Denzel run for president. You think Denzel will make a great president? Run for president? God, I can see him. All right.

We're going to lower what? The taxes. All right. Yeah. We're going to lower the tax. What else are we going to do? Gun control. Right. Yeah. I could see Denzel running for president. the morning i think the other morning he was on a morning talk show and he was talking about potentially once his career is over steph curry steph curry he said maybe not the president but
Starting point is 00:48:28 politics because he wants to see him as an alderman what steph is alderman not a senator oh good senator curry yeah i could see him first as like an all you know just like a councilman like a city local local guy first you think he's gonna go for senate why not no no because you look at look at arnold and uh uh uh who's that arnold went for governor yeah clint eastwood jesse ventura oh that's on jesse the body that's right i was governor i remember the time i was governor see i could kind of do him yeah and arnold's like yeah of course i had i wanted to be president but i wasn't born here but i could have i could kind of do him yeah and arnold's like yeah of course i had i want to be president but i wasn't born here but i could have i could have done anything

But, yeah, I would watch a lot of those guys yeah I ask people special comedians to come in here and give me their
Starting point is 00:53:11 Mount Rushmore oh gosh and they named seven people you do understand that Mount Rushmore has four heads yeah but it's just okay go ahead and a lot of times what i've been getting yes is that current comedian says i can't name somebody from my generation because i'm with them with them right so if i said okay give me your your give me godfrey's four okay best comedian it's usually your four best or should be the people that you watch the most like you watch video on them the most. And I got Pryor, Carlin, Redd Foxx and Paul Mooney. I watched them all the time. And Paul Mooney.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Oh, my God. I think Paul Mooney doesn't get the respect that he deserves, you know, because he wrote for Richard Pryor. He wrote he wrote for Living Color. Right. Homie the Clown. That was Paul Mooney. He wrote for even the Chappelle show. Wow. I love Paul Mooney. Iown, that was Paul Mooney. He wrote for even the Chappelle show. I love Paul Mooney.
Starting point is 00:54:07 I watch a lot of Paul Mooney. And I wish Paul Mooney were alive to come on this show. He'd be like, Shannon, this is a very good show. You're brilliant. You're brilliant. You're brilliant. But niggas don't like you. Shannon Sharp, you a big motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:54:21 And you will kick a nigga's ass. You didn't put Pryor up there. I did. You put Pryor there Murphy, that's who you left no, Murphy I think Eddie Murphy, of course he's a hero of mine one of the greatest comedic actors nobody's fucking with Eddie Murphy on the comedy and movies you can match, there's a lot of funny people
Starting point is 00:54:39 but Eddie Murphy is the best I just I don't think I've seen Eddie Murphy enough as far as specials and stuff. Okay. But Eddie is up there. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You said top four.
Starting point is 00:54:52 That's bullshit. You need top five. Eddie, let's put up Eddie. Mount Rushmore. Who are your four heads you're going to put on Mount Rushmore? Well, those are presidents that should have no business up there. Well, we got comedians up there. We're going to put the comedians up there.

Starting point is 00:55:24 It's his word play it's he's it's his intelligence and how he puts words together and listen everybody has a taste and carlin was never lazy with a joke he always because he grew up his parents were advertising people his mom and dad were good with words and he was always is his joke writing it's just the word play he loved using different words and so i was like that's made me focus on words because comedy is an art form of words syntax it's about how you say it some people some i see some jokes and like even for myself i'm hard on myself if i see a joke and it's too lazy i go it could be better than that right and i watch
Starting point is 00:56:02 carl and i go damn even if the joke wasn't that funny to you, but the work he put in it, you go, God damn, that was brilliant. You know what I mean? It's like...

It's his wordplay and the things that he says about society, calling out white supremacy. A white guy saying it to white people is very important. Yes. An Irish guy from Harlem. It's important that this white guy is saying, you know, y'all ain't shit.
Starting point is 00:59:14 You feel me? Has someone have you ever heard a joke? Yeah. And you like I could have done that joke better. Yes. And then there's some jokes where I go, damn, he got that. That's the best or she got that that was the best take i've seen i've seen somewhere i could damn i could have done that better damn i wish i had that joke that was perfect yeah of course a lot of many times you do so can you do chapelle yeah see i'm gonna tell you something man this is great this is great i love being on club shea shea bitch man i love it he's like at chapelle i've known since 97 96 97 and chapelle is one of the greats but everybody does chapelle so you have to sort of talk like this right and now his voice is a little you know
Starting point is 00:59:58 i'm listen i'm not transphobic i'm not i have friends i have friends i have a lot of trans friends and you remember when he got um he got uh i guess they blocked his show in minnesota right and at theater they were like the trans community came yeah they blocked his show and then he went to another theater about 20 minutes later and sold that out right he's like i i'm trans i feel i'm trans because i transferred from one theater to another and that that was a great transaction, bitch. When I hear people talk about him. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:29 It's like there's like he was a prodigy. He started at a very, very young age. Like, but a lot of comedians don't start until they're in the later 20s, mid 20s. I started after college, 22. So here's a guy that's 14 and they're saying he's going to these clubs where adults perform. Yeah. And so you knew him. Did you know he was going to become this?
Starting point is 01:00:52 No, I didn't. I heard about him. Well, actually, when I first got to New York City, one of my first shows was with him on the show. It was with him on the show, and I heard heard his name dave chappelle dave chappelle because he did uh he had done uh star search yes um young and even ed mcmahon said that guy's gonna be a star watch and people don't remember star search and ed mcmahon before american idol yeah it was star search four stars three stars yep simbad came from there. Martin Lor- A lot of people that are stars came from there. And I heard about him.
Starting point is 01:01:28 I heard about him. Then I ended up on a show with him. I think I had to go after him. He murdered. I had to go after him. But I heard about him, and I knew, okay, this guy is something to watch. Because everybody, Chappelle, Chappelle, Chappelle. And I guess a guy, I want to give credit to Tony Woods, who Chappelle, he took Chappelle under his wing in D.C.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Tony Woods is another underrated comedian who's fantastic. Yeah, so Chappelle, I knew Chappelle was going to be. I didn't know how big until that Chappelle show. I didn't know he was going to be like, woo. I mean, he's massive. I mean, because you see him in Nutty Professor. He's reggie. Kill that shit. And then you see him in Blue Streetty professor he's reggie killed that and then you
Starting point is 01:02:05 see him in blue street yeah and you like man dude is he's amazing and his comedy he's an amazing comedian because he loves i think he loves comedy more than anything i believe so because he puts the time in he puts the hours in yeah and i'm gonna tell you this i think you had a guest on here that i disagreed with okay no and this is no i you know i you know i would love to start beef because i want this to go to 60 million i want to call somebody out i just want to fucking start some shit but i won't do that you know what i'm saying damn um but when country wayne was on here yeah first of all i don't know country wayne at all but i watched his video i give him his credit for him making all that money.
Starting point is 01:02:45 I was listening to him like, oh, how did you do this? You know, I love his hustle. Smart dude. I mean, he's making millions off of this shit. I wish I could. But he said one statement that I disagreed with, Country. I disagreed with you. What was the statement?
Starting point is 01:02:59 I think he said, and if I'm wrong, you correct me. Okay. He said something about if anybody's in a comedy club still, that means you're not doing anything. Something like that. I don't know if he was answering Faison. Right. I think it was him and Faison going at it. Because Faison's my dude.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Right. Faison. Everybody be going at Faison. I love Faison. Go say everybody else. Faison's a funny son of a bitch. But he's saying if you're still in the comedy clubs, you're not a real comedian. I think he said that.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Am I wrong? Something to that effect. But I think he was talking about him. Okay, please. Because I was like, you are wrong about that shit. I'm in the comedy clubs. DL's in the comedy clubs. Comedy clubs are still being built.
Starting point is 01:03:39 They're not fading away. If you do theaters, that's like a blessing. But theaters are multipurpose rooms. Right. Comedy clubs usually are just for comedy. Comedians of all statures. Right. Do comedy clubs.
Starting point is 01:03:52 There's the rare moments you have. You know, Chappelle still comes to comedy clubs and works on his shit. Right. Seinfeld, who's a billionaire, still comes to the comedy club. But I think what he was. I'm just saying. Yeah. I might be.
Starting point is 01:04:04 I might be misinterpreting it. No, I think what he was saying is that that's his only choice is to do those. The people that you mentioned can do arenas. They can do theaters. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:13 He's saying that he probably... The only thing he can do... Okay. I'm like, shit. So what does that make me? Because it's not easy. First of all, it's not easy to fill a comedy club. Even if it's a 300-seater, 400-seater Because it's not easy. First of all, it's not easy to fill a comedy club.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Even if it's a 300-seater, 400-seater, it's not easy. Right. Like, there's people who have been fortunate, especially with the algorithm. You get the algorithm, you got 8 million followers. Yeah, just numerically, you're going to fill the shit up. Right. But are you going to put the work in? Are you going to have the performance that keeps up with it?
Starting point is 01:04:43 To match it. To match it. Which comedy, I'm going to tell tell you this and even cat said it you gotta you can't cheat comedy man i'm telling you i when i first got to new york you know how many shows i was doing per week 40 shows a week 40 you heard what i said 40 dog give me some cognac shit let me get that cognac come on man get some cognac. Shit. Let me get that cognac. Come on, man. Get that cognac. Shit. Hold on, God. Get that shit.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Hell yeah. There's only seven. Wait a minute. God, Fred. There's only seven days. Yeah. So you doing. Isn't that how y'all.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Yeah. How are you doing 40 shows in a week? Let me show you. So when I got to New York City, i remember it was a tracy morgan and some other cats and they were like yo i said hey because in chicago we would do you give them out six or seven shows a week yeah what are they and i got i got to new york i did a show with i was in harlem i did one show they was like yo we about to go i said we all going now oh there's shows in brooklyn are you coming you got more shows hell yeah boom i hit about five
Starting point is 01:05:53 stages that same night and i said this is how y'all do it it's like hell yeah we do multiple the average comedian in new york and i don't know if this is perfect math, does about between four to seven shows a night. Stage time. We got a lot of stages. We got a lot. Shout out to the Comedy Cellar. That's my spot. Comedy Cellar in New York City.
Starting point is 01:06:16 But I was doing five shows a night. Wow. Five shows a night on the weekdays. Then on the weekends, I do eight or nine. Eight or nine shows. Yeah. It would be me patrice o'neill bill burr you know keith robinson it was all of us wanda sykes wanda sykes hall when i knew
Starting point is 01:06:33 wanda sykes hall that's my girl yeah wanda's one is the best but we were that's how you did it you just ran all over the city and and there was sometimes there'd be a club down the block so you can go on stage there you go over there hit that yeah so i would start at about 7 a.m at 7 p.m and then end at around 3 a.m so i was doing comedy and this is consistent there's no breaks this is consistent shit comedy takes that much work it's really a sport it's a sport you got to go out there and you got to put the reps in period you can't cheat it i don't give a fuck who you are you can't cheat it is that how you get good at the craft you
Starting point is 01:07:09 goddamn right and then you and you know what's funny is when you're on stage they see the difference they see the difference they see the wordplay they see the transition you get those nuances as you stay on stage a lot you have to right. I don't know. Somebody told me it was a young commentator. No. One day they're going to be able to skip steps in comedy. I said, just because you get on a TV show faster than a veteran don't mean you're good at it because I'm not trying to be an asshole. But a lot of these companies are skipping a lot of comedians that are ready. There's a lot of because people ask me, will you get your next on netflix but i said they don't really approach me they don't really approach a lot not just me but they don't approach a lot of us they they've been given specials to
Starting point is 01:07:53 people that don't even have an hour you can tell somebody ain't ready by the way they edit it you go oh that motherfucker started bombing at 15 minutes that motherfucker started bombing at 20 they're not because comedy takes yeah you have to be ready you have to put your time in and the people that are ready are like hey i'm ready for a special they're not that's why a lot of people are putting their shit up on um on i'm sorry youtube example ali sadiq if you ain't watched domino effect you're out of your damn mind domino effect one two and three he just put three he's all on it's all on youtube right it's all on youtube this guy has been ignored he had a chance he's been ignored
Starting point is 01:08:30 but he's putting it you're counting on yourself you got andrew schultz there's shane gillis there's a whole bunch of guys putting shit up on youtube that's what i'm gonna have to do oh and by the way shannon i'm starting a gofundme yeah that's right I'm starting a GoFundMe to raise money to do my own special yes you bullshitting why am I bulljiving I'm not bulljiving I'm raising money listen GoFundMe go to GoFundMe
Starting point is 01:08:56 GodFreeSpecial I'm raising money for real I'm taking donations no different than a church and a preacher I'm taking donations cause Jesus wants it but yeah i'm raising my own money i've been offered some money because listen to do a special it's a big it's budget you can go from 100 000 to 200 000 it depends right netflix pays for all that right oh amazon pays for all that but if they're not coming to me and coming to some other some of the other people i gotta i gotta raise money on my own and then it'll be mine and i can own it you know what i'm
Starting point is 01:09:29 saying i don't know but so that's what's going on there's a lot of comedians men and women that are being ignored i got you got great comedians like yamanika sanders you got marina franklin you got a lot of great people my man dante nero you got reuben paul you got a lot of great people my man Dante Nero you got Ruben Paul you got a lot of great comedians Tony Rock you got a lot of great comedians that are really putting in the work and are ready to do one two three let's go is I mean listen they're giving specials to the same people every time I see the same people which some of them do deserve it I go yeah I get why but man there's a lot of people just waiting on their first one and then they're giving it to people who have been doing comedy two years. Bullshit.
Starting point is 01:10:07 It's bullshit. How has social media helped or hurt comedy? Listen. There's, okay, I think it's 50-50. It's hurt comedy as far as, I believe this is my, I believe there's a lot of bums in comedy. A lot of mediocre bums in comedy because of social media. Because they're seeing, okay, I had a friend call me the other day. I haven't seen him since college.
Starting point is 01:10:36 He was like more of a business guy, corporate. You got the same number since college? No, not called me, sorry. Facebook me, that shit. Okay. No, he actually called me because I had given him my number since college? No. Not called me. Sorry. Facebook me. Okay. That shit. Okay. Right? No, he actually called me because I had given him my number a few years ago. Then he goes, yo, I need to call you.
Starting point is 01:10:51 I need to talk to you. I was like, oh, talking to me about what? You know? And I know what he does. He's a corporate guy. So when I was doing my comedy, being broke and shit, he goes, how's that little comedy thing you're doing? Oh, little.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Yes. Little. They would say that. How's that little comedy thing? I say, man, I'm comedy thing i say man i'm just doing it man come to a show they would never come right boom those are the kind of guys that go see the more famous guys yes but won't come to your shit yes i said cool so now years later he goes yo you know i've been writing like comedy this dot dot dot dot you know i was thinking about and i
Starting point is 01:11:21 said why what are you for what why why are you a corporate guy i mean ain't you a jp morgan word yeah we're older now why are you thinking about comedy i said in my head he's been watching social media he goes well i've been watching a lot of video so now you think it's easy ah that's the only thing i think social media has done is they make it look like it's fucking easy. The YouTube tutorials. That's like this. Hi, welcome. How to be a tight end.
Starting point is 01:11:52 It's so easy. How to be the tight end. It's the same. You know. You got to show up to practice and you got to put the fucking reps in. I'm promising you because when I first started doing comedy, was funny i was fun it was me it was cory hokum who's another funny crazy bastard cory hokum yeah cory hokum who i brought into the game by the way you guys can thank me for cory hokum because i brought him to amateur night i brought him to amateur night made
Starting point is 01:12:21 him do comedy because i've known him since i was teenager and he's always been a very very very funny man um yeah it's you gotta put in the reps and we were all funny at the beginning right d ray davis was all funny we didn't have the jokes yet you know we didn't have nothing to say but we had funny quips here and there right it you well it takes years to get your voice in comedy it's 10 years years. 10 years. I'm going to fuck. Here's an example. I was sitting with Seinfeld. Yes, I said it. I was sitting with Seinfeld.
Starting point is 01:12:50 He was doing a documentary called Comedian. I'm in that documentary. This is when he was making his comeback after Seinfeld. He was coming back to comedy. So he would come to the comedy cellar and hang out with me and hang out with all of us. And one day he asked me, how long you been doing comedy? I said, and I stuck my chest. I said i said nah about nine years now going on 10 he's like okay you're a nine-year-old in comedy then that's your comedy age always remember that that's your age in comedy i never
Starting point is 01:13:15 forgot that my age in comedy is about 27 years now yeah i've been doing it almost 30 years you know what i mean and then and i And I see why it takes so long. Because it's effortless for me now. But I still see the difficulty in it. Because I can do one hour. Now I got to do a whole different hour. When you see Chris Rock, Chris Rock is a technician. He'll go in, come in, in the comedy club, work on his shit, work on his shit.
Starting point is 01:13:41 Seinfeld does the same shit. Ray Romano still comes in. These guys are multimillionaires. But because it's a craft, because the comedy is always better than you. I always, comedy is always better than you because you always got to redo something. You always got a story to tell. You never, if you get too conceited, and that's another thing about social media. It's making these motherfuckers cocky.
Starting point is 01:14:00 They come around thinking because, hey, man, I got 10 million followers. I go, bro but you got to follow me tonight wow shit we'll see what that shit does to you okay buddy you know i know i'm glad that you have 10 million i'm glad you got your little sock puppet thing good for you but we're about to do the real shit and uh good luck following me but you know it takes and listen you know these these younger cats that come in they can't help when they were born. They were born in the social media phase. But I try to tell them, dog, doing a sketch is different than stand up. Please, Lord, I'm telling you, be careful because you're in a time continuum when you're on stage and people don't pay their money.
Starting point is 01:14:40 They don't send their kids a babysitter. And motherfuckers are sitting there like this. All right, motherfucker. She's hundred hundred dollars the goddamn ticket man it better be i'll be some hahas in this motherfucker real shit and so you got an hour and what if the dude before you just did a hot 30 in front of you that the feature just smoked it now you gotta do your shit i'm like i'm it's a re it's it's the hardest form of entertainment, comedy, which gets no respect, barely wins awards. Comedy is the hardest. You know why? You know why people heckle?
Starting point is 01:15:14 You know why people heckle, Shannon? What? Because everybody has a sense of humor. You make somebody laugh. People over here make somebody laugh. You was funny at the barbecue. You was funny at the water cooler, right? Everybody's funny. You were even funny on the field. You used to talk shit on the field. I did. You was funny at the barbecue. You was funny at the water cooler, right? Everybody's funny.
Starting point is 01:15:25 You were even funny on the field. You used to talk shit on the field. I did. You did a commercial. I remember the commercial that you did. You'd be like, yo, what you going to do, man? It was a commercial. So that's funny.
Starting point is 01:15:36 But people go, okay, well, I make people laugh. There's a man or a woman on stage making people laugh. But I'm funny, too. So I'm not even going to show you respect. You go to the opera. Ain't nobody talking, are they'm not even gonna show you respect you go to the opera ain't nobody talking are they you go to the opera i go to the opera i'm cultured you go to the opera figaro figaro and someone's like man sing that shit and he'd be like negro negro yo no you're not gonna say that because you don't have a sense of opera right you go to the ballet i've been to the ballet shit i go to that because you don't have a sense of opera. Right. You go to the ballet. I've been to the ballet. Shit.
Starting point is 01:16:05 I go to that shit. You know, nobody says, man, that girl flexible than a motherfucker. Right. Why that dude balls out? You know, Sid, you because you have a respect because it's something you can't do. But for some reason, comedy is that one art form where everybody feels they're your equal yeah even the comedians have been doing it two years to do your equal and i don't like it i think comedy should be like the army like that's what i love about the armed forces i'm a general
Starting point is 01:16:36 you're a fucking cadet you stand at attention when i walk in when i see george wallace i just saw, I just did a show with Arsenio Hall, by the way, one of the nicest men I've ever met. I've never met Arsenio. Arsenio's a fucking legend, what people don't understand.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Arsenio, I went, he goes, and he goes, Godfrey, man, good seeing you, brother.
Starting point is 01:16:56 I've been watching you. You know how his finger, I said, Godfrey, I've been watching you. Yeah, he was way back there when he pointed that finger. he's like,
Starting point is 01:17:01 Godfrey, ah, he goes, I've been watching you when he pointed that thing. Yeah, he's like, God, for him. Yeah! Ho, ho, ho, ho. He goes, I've been watching you since the pandemic. And I said, I got to salute you. You're a general, man. Right. You're a five-star.
Starting point is 01:17:14 Right. We got to, like, rank and file has to happen. It's like in the rookie. You know, I walked on the team at Illinois. Oh, did you? I did. On a dare. I did it because I was trying to do track and field, and I wasn't really sure.
Starting point is 01:17:30 And then this dude named Marlon Primas. I'm saying his name. Marlon Primas. He came up with Henry Jones. So this dude was so talented. He was our free safety. Six foot four. Could throw the ball a mile.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Because sometimes we'd be on the field just fucking around practicing. And four could throw the ball a mile because sometimes we'd be on the field just fucking around practicing and so and he could throw the i said my god man you can throw he could punt i go how come you're not a quarterback he goes because in illinois they didn't want any black quarterbacks they kept all the white they converted all the black dudes into defensive guys right and he said and he was from la so he'd be like yo cuz it's like you should you should try out cuz i dare you try and so i tried out and i made the team didn't start i was the meat squad but hell i was you made it i made it i made the team i made the squad i was on there for like three years quick math the less your business spends on operations on multiple systems delivering your
