Starting point is 00:03:19 Trying to make it happen. This ain't supposed to happen for you now. You know they like to say in Hollywood, oh, you're too old push him out he's gone yeah you you on right now i know man i've been i've been around i've been in the business for 20 years i'm doing this show survivors of morse with this young brother jesse yeah usher right here it's all about the young coming up right now you're lebron jesse on the show uh we i mean i'm not gonna say i'm lebron just say you're lebron come on cam calloway lebron i can't say I'm LeBron. You're LeBron. I'm a guy. Just say you're LeBron. Come on, Cam Calloway, LeBron.
Starting point is 00:03:46 No, I can't say I'm LeBron. I'm somebody like LeBron. I know there's some similarities there, but nah. I don't really see you play ball on the show at all. I've watched it. I know the new season's coming up soon. And obviously I know Mike Epps is the crazy uncle, but where's the, you know, on the court?
Starting point is 00:04:00 You know what? There was like a lot of talk about that in the first season, and I think what came about was the showrunners and the producers was like, okay, if we start doing
Starting point is 00:04:08 the basketball thing then we gotta feed that animal a little more than we want to. You gotta be LeBron. Exactly. You know what I mean? They're like, nah,
Starting point is 00:04:15 I feel like if we go there then we gotta stay there. So they just wanna stay away and focus on what makes the show. But ain't the show a reflection of LeBron's life? No, not really.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Oh, okay, okay. It seems like it because the dynamic between my character and the Reggie character is a lot like Maverick of LeBron's life? No, not really. Oh, okay, okay. It seems like it because the dynamic between my character and the Reggie character is a lot like Maverick
Starting point is 00:04:28 and LeBron's relationship, but it's not about LeBron's life. Is there anybody on there dating your mom like a young man dating your mom? Shut up. We can't say too much
Starting point is 00:04:38 but she did. She did a boyfriend. Shut up, man. Bang, man. Come on the show. Now, you used to work with Miley Cyrus too, right? I did an episode of Hannah Montana, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Oh, you did an episode? Okay, okay. Did you know she was a n***a then? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Nah, none of that was going on at the time. Wild as hell. She was a lot more innocent back then. At least I thought so.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I don't know. Right. Now, how did you end up getting cast on the show? Because I remember first hearing LeBron talk about it. He was executive producing on it. I thought it was supposed to be like Entourage was
Starting point is 00:05:11 for Mark Wahlberg. This was like LeBron's kind of reflection of his life and the people around him. In a sense, yes, but not really because he doesn't want it to be about him,
Starting point is 00:05:22 more so just about, you know, professional athletes. Right, because it is kind of funny. You don't want to think that these, professional acting. Right, because it is kind of funny. You don't want to think that these things really happen. Right, right, right. There was a part where the kid had the dying wish. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I saw that. Yeah, LeBron wouldn't want those kind of things to be, you know, looked upon him. But this casting process was, like, out of this world. I mean, it was, like, four months long. I did, like, five, six camera tests with, you know, everybody. And then, I don't know, it was just drawn out for no reason, you know everybody and then I don't know It was just drawn out for no reason, you know, it finally came to an end
Starting point is 00:05:48 Mike Epps did they just tell you we want you? I did a show on Cartoon Network a few years ago, that was like my first big one Do you ever have to audition anymore Mike Epps? Or do they just say we have a role for you? No, Mike ain't about to audition no more No, not no more, I really don't audition no more. But I will for the right role. Yeah, right. The right role is Pryor.
Starting point is 00:06:08 That's the one that you supposed to do. That's it right there. I had to audition for that, though. I had to. Man, every time I thought I had that movie, I'm walking out the building, I see Marlon Wayans going in. I'm like, what? Hey.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I see Nick Cannon going in. I'm like, man. I had to work for it. That was a battle because everybody wanted that role. How did it finally come back to you? You know what? I think Lee Daniels is the type of director. He make everybody audition.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I mean, it goes down in the audition room. If you put it down in the audition room, you know, that's where you really earn it at. I seen him make Oprah Winfrey audition. Lee Daniels? Oh, man. Get outta here. I walk up, I walk up. Put all the money up.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Look, I come up in the audition place, and I see, and you know, you got the door right there, Lee's inside the room, and Oprah's sitting out there reading the thing. I'm like, is that Oprah sitting there reading the science? Did you know it was her? Yeah. Did she get the role?
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah. So I seen Lee Daniels bring her in and make her audition. I'm like, man. So he really like to see if people can make it happen before he hire him. And, you know, I really worked hard for it. Is it a strong script? Man, it is. It's a real strong script.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And I just hope that I represent him as well as I can because a lot of people betting on this dude. It's, you know, a highly anticipated movie. Have you started shooting yet? No, we start prepping in January, start shooting in March. Answer me one question. Yes, sir. Is the second scene in there?
Starting point is 00:07:45 Oh, I don't know about that one. The one that was in his book that he talks about? No, I don't know. That is a Lee Daniels production. I just want to know. I just want to know. Lee, I'm slipping in there on you now. Hey, you're going to slip nothing on me.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I know how to say no. But for your craft and for the story. Yeah, well, you know, I done walked off some sets before. Survivor's Remorse being one of them. You walked off a Survivor's Remorse? Come on, Justin. Young boys, let the tongue slip one time. Wow, what did you walk out for?
Starting point is 00:08:22 How did Mike walk off the set? I wasn't even there, man. I just got about ten phone calls before I get to set. They're like, yo, man, Mike left. I'm like, what you mean Mike left? They was like, man, some stuff went down over by the lunch truck. Mike left. They had us shooting at a
Starting point is 00:08:37 real slave plantation. You know what I mean? And they had, the scene was me getting in the bed with a white girl and playing like, you know, a coon type dude. So I told him I was going to do it. But when I got to the set, man, it was it was so eerie. It was like, yeah, and it just I just felt it.
Starting point is 00:08:59 It was it wasn't right. Right. And I'm sitting there looking at all the woods and stuff like that. I said, I just ain't right. My ancestors wouldn't like this. No, I said, I got at all the woods and stuff like that. I said, this ain't right, man. My ancestors wouldn't like this. No. I said, I got to go. I got to get up.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Man, I'm like a real. God damn it. So they just end up cutting it from the. I took call of my grandmother. She said, get on with it, baby. You don't need that money. Did you run like a slave when you ran away? No.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I couldn't get there. I saw you tell Brooke Hogan to keep dating black guys. Yeah. I guess you just wanted to piss her daddy off, huh? Yeah, well, he said some stuff he ain't had no business saying, so I might as well rub it in his face, you know what I mean? But this is a good television show, and I'm really excited for Jesse Usher, man. He's a young brother coming up in the game.
Starting point is 00:09:48 He's doing Independence Day. Tell him about your new Independence Day. You hear that professionalism of Mike Epps. He's like, man, we here to talk about survival. Right back to Jesse. So you're doing a sequel to Independence Day? Yeah, I am. I'm doing a, it's called Independence Day Resurgence.
Starting point is 00:10:01 It's going to come out next summer. Is Will Smith in it? He's not in it. Oh, okay. Will Smith's not in it. I'm playing his son, though, or his stepson, if you remember the first film. Yeah, they're doing an exact 20-year turnaround from when the first one came out to now. Why the hell Will ain't in it?
Starting point is 00:10:14 I wish I could tell you, man. I'm trying to get in touch with him so I can find out myself, honestly. Is it coming out in theaters? Yeah, it's going to come out in theaters worldwide. Okay, now, Jesse, you got to watch yourself, too. I saw you tell a girl, a girl said something to you about she wanted some money for implants, and you was like, I'll pay the girl not to get implants. I'll pay you not to get them.
Starting point is 00:10:31 You know what? That was like a conversation that was going around on Twitter for a while, you know what I mean, about girls doing plastic surgery and all that kind of stuff. And then she was saying, you know, she like made a comment like a day later, and she was like, yo, I need a sugar daddy. Somebody's going to pay for implants. And then me, you know, taking a stand, I was like, nah, you know, I would, I would pay, I would rather pay for you not to get implants.
Starting point is 00:10:50 How much would you? Yeah, no, I know her. How much would you pay her to not get them? But I know her. She lives in Atlanta. How much would you pay her not to get them? I would, I don't know, man. It depends on how much there's nothing.
Starting point is 00:11:00 You already offered. She's going to take the money and go get a booty job with it. Especially living in Atlanta, man. You know how it goes. Yeah, you told her not to get breast implants. You didn't say nothing but the booty. You're right. You're right.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I should have been more specific. Now, have you been watching this whole Meek Mill versus Drake go down? You know, I just heard back-to-back when y'all played it a second ago. So let me ask you, Jesse, as a young man growing up in this, what do you think that Meek Mill should do next? What's the next step? You know what? you think that Meek Mill should do next? What's the next step? You know what? I don't know what he should do next.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I just wish he didn't say nothing in the first place. That was a mistake on my – I think personally that wasn't a good idea. It's starting to look like that, right? Yeah, it's starting to look like it was a bad move, honestly. You know what I would love to do? And I want to host and fight in it. I want to do right over there at Madison Square Garden, I want to get all these rappers and actors and everybody over there
Starting point is 00:11:47 and put some boxing gloves on them and see if they can really fight. Wow. I would love to do it. Drake losing. You said Drake's losing. I want to see the last one of them get in that ring. And if you get beat up, don't do another diss song again. But it is supposed to be about lyrics, not being able to necessarily fight.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Yeah, but that's fun. They did one years ago. They had Willie D knock Melly Mel out. For real? Yeah. You better look on the internet. Willie D from the Gatoboyz knocked Melly Mel out? Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Dieselized Melly Mel. They did a celebrity boxing match at the Madison Square Garden in the 80s. I don't know why these dudes won't do that now. It'll be hilarious. You think social media is saving people from getting killed? Because I feel like it's a buffer. Because if I got a problem with somebody, you can go tweet it out. You got time to think about it.
Starting point is 00:12:44 You know what I'm saying? But it also makes people get into unnecessary arguments Because if I got a problem with somebody, you can go tweet it out. Then you got time to think about it. You know what I'm saying? But it also makes people get into unnecessary arguments because people go on social media and start saying something they would never say in person. But it's better than seeing each other in person and fighting and shooting each other. That's what I'm saying. A nice little boxing match. Just put some little gloves on. It ain't nothing but a fight.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Would you get in there with Kevin? No. You and Kevin Hart? You said some things about him, Mike. Man, I'm not fighting no. Would you get in there with Kevin? No. You and Kevin Hart? You said some things about him, Mike. Man, I'm not fighting no Kevin Hart, man. Kevin in the gym now. Kevin Diesel, Mike. Man, please.
Starting point is 00:13:14 You called the brother a Kardashian, now. Oh, man. See, we had to go there. Kevin Hart, I love you, brother. I know they trying to get us out. I love you, little brother. Jesse, who would you fight? I ain't fighting nobody, brother. I know they trying to get us out. I love you, little brother. Jesse, who would you fight? I ain't fighting nobody, man.
Starting point is 00:13:28 I only make friends. You look like you might have to knock out Brandon T. Jackson. Brandon T. Jackson. Because I look like your lane if you got to get rid of him. No, no, no, no, no. I ain't fighting nobody, man. All that ain't necessary. There's more than enough roles for all of us out here.
Starting point is 00:13:40 It's just fun. It's just fun. It's just fun. All these little brothers out here, we all out here trying to make it, man. The police is killing us. We don't have time to kill each other right now. You know what I mean? We need to lock up or hook up together
Starting point is 00:13:52 to make this money together. You know what I mean? It's all about blackness right now. We got to stick together, man, because the police is our enemies for real. Yes, sir. You know what I mean? We supposed to be protected when they,
Starting point is 00:14:05 even when we go into jail, we supposed to still be protected, but you can die on the way to the jail. And the bad part, you don't know who the good police are or the bad police. No, I know the bad ones because they my friends. And then you'd be scared to call the police if you need something for real.
Starting point is 00:14:19 You never know what's going to happen. Now, the stand-up special on Netflix. Yeah, stand-up special on Netflix. Yeah, stand-up special on Netflix. It's called Don't Take It Personal. Uh-oh. You know, because I'm on there saying some stuff. You know, that's what comics do, man. That's what I get paid for.
Starting point is 00:14:35 People's always shocked when we say something we ain't got no business saying. But I'm like, come on, man. I'm a comedian. That's what I'm supposed to say. You know? Everybody, they talking about Bill Cosby. They talking about all these people And the way they doing Bill Cosby
Starting point is 00:14:47 I'm not hiding nothing now I'm putting it all on the table I think Bill Cosby should just die at this point You think so? Yeah man He should just pass away You know why? Because the slander will turn to sympathy
Starting point is 00:15:01 The way everybody getting at him now As soon as he passed They be like Oh Bill We missed you. You did so much. Right now, they trying to discredit
Starting point is 00:15:07 all his work, discredit everything he's done. That's true. Yes, the brother made some mistakes, but don't take his art off the table. That art helped
Starting point is 00:15:13 a lot of people. Well, I think Bill should have did his dirt on the top of the table. What do you mean? That's what I'm saying. Don't do no dirt under the table.
Starting point is 00:15:21 I put all my dirt on the table right here, so you can't expose something that's already been exposed. True. You know what I mean? How you going to make me look bad if I'm putting it on the table? But don't you think it's kind of his fault, too, though, because he was out there like, I'm going to pull your pants up
Starting point is 00:15:35 and you should live like this and you should live like that. That's what hurt him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what hurt him right there is that it looked hypocritical. You know what I'm saying? But, I mean, like you said, man, ain't none of us perfect out here. And if they put all the ugly women that I've been with in my life on the front of a newspaper, it's going to be bad, man.
Starting point is 00:15:55 It's going to look like the state fair on there. But you'll be fine as long as you didn't drug them. And then, you know. Well, come on. A little marijuana is the same thing. Here, hit this joint right here. My grandmother met Bill Cosby years ago. No, man, what happened?
Starting point is 00:16:14 What happened, Mike? It sounded like something crazy happened. She don't remember. Shut up. Oh, no. He put that jello button pop up in there. You think that was just a thing back then, though? You know, the Quaaludes and all that? Man, you know my thing is, guess what?
Starting point is 00:16:33 I would like to get all them women. If I was Bill Cosby, I'd do an interview with Oprah and have all them women sit up there and I would say to them, what was your interest in me? What was you doing up in the room with me? That's what I don't understand. You notice the two black women that's on there, they straight up said, we know Bill like that. We left. I said, Bill, put me in the cab.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I got to go. Yeah, one was Beverly Johnson. I forgot the other one. That's what I'm saying. But them other little fire marshal Bill looking ass Women in there One lady had a little wig hanging on the side That he was offering to mentor her And you know Her family died from cancer
Starting point is 00:17:13 He was sympathetic toward her And she believed him And you being hard on the elderly now They 90 something years old now They're not 90 something years old How you gonna come out later on like that? I mean, like, somebody should have said something then, am I right? Some people
Starting point is 00:17:29 did say stuff then, though, and there was a lot of settlements that happened. Okay, well, there you go, then. There were settlements. And that's what I would do. I would take all of them chairs that them women is sitting on, and I would make my own magazine, and I would put all them checks on the chair
Starting point is 00:17:45 that I wrote. But, you know, some people feel like it's hard to go up against a celebrity. No one's going to believe me. They're going to vilify me. That is not true. Especially in the 60s. A black man? Oh, yeah, maybe then, but now, boy, if somebody say something about you now, that's a wrap. Everybody believes it, even if it's not true automatically.
Starting point is 00:18:01 That's right. I mean, I do believe Bill Cosby did something, but it's hard for me to believe that you got away with raping a white woman in the 60s. That's right. White woman would have spoke out about that immediately. Because if you wake up, if you get drunk with a white girl and you wake up in the morning and she crying, you going to prison. Straight up.
Starting point is 00:18:18 But I think for some women, they feel like it's their fault. Like, how did I put myself in this position? And you kind of blame yourself. Like, I shouldn't have been here. Now people are going to look at me like, well, what's she doing in here anyway how did I put myself in this position? And you kind of blame yourself like, I shouldn't have been here. Now people are going to look at me like, well, what's she doing in here anyway? And you put yourself in a position. People feel like that. So I'm sure it's difficult. I can't speak for it.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I feel sorry for the women that got violated. And I can't say that I feel sorry for Bill Cosby because the man got $80 million. He's had a great life. He had a great life. And he pointed the finger at a lot of people. Yeah, and he tried to talk about young black urban kids
Starting point is 00:18:50 that didn't have the same opportunities that he had when he should have been helping them and coming down to the neighborhood, setting up some programs for them. If he had did that, the whole black race would have been behind him. We'd have rolled for Bill. Yeah, we'd have rolled for him.
Starting point is 00:19:06 You learning from this, Jesse? I'm learning right now. You got to get you some non-disclosure forms when you bring these girls back. Yeah, man. I see you retweet a lot of ladies. You be in some DMs now. You got to be careful out there. I'm definitely not being nobody's DM. Don't mess with Jesse.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Jesse's mama and his grandmother standing right there. Oh, I'm so sorry. She giving you the screw face too? He going to do what he do now. Now, Jesse'm so sorry. She giving you the screw face too? He gonna do what he do now. Now, Jesse, let me ask you this. What's up?
Starting point is 00:19:30 Doing a show like Survivor's Remorse, do you learn a lot from what happens on the show and the plot and people trying to take advantage of you
Starting point is 00:19:36 and things like that? Do you apply any of that to your real life? Oh, yeah. Sometimes I feel like the stuff that Michael Malley be putting on that page is like, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:43 speaking directly to me. You know what I mean? And I mean, maybe because a lot of it is so relatable anyways. No, you ain't lying. Yeah. Like we be reading stuff and then, you know, we sit back and go, well, dang, maybe, you know, I should watch. I should watch out for that kind of stuff because Mike be writing some some like real things in there. And then, of course, being on a show such as such a profile like Survivors or more.
Starting point is 00:20:03 So, of course, you're going to get that kind of attention, the same attention that the characters are getting. Has anything happened to you in real life that being on a show in such high profile like Survivors or more, of course you're going to get that kind of attention, the same attention that the characters are getting. Has anything happened to you in real life that was on the show? Sort of. You know, like Kim get ambushed, all that kind of stuff. I got pulled out of VIP section one time at the club. What? With my back turned, no lie, by two little short girls.
Starting point is 00:20:20 All three of us almost died because it was up high and they reached up and was like, oh, and pulled me down. It was tipsy and you know how that goes. That was me. Go ahead. Two dwarves grabbed him up out there at Compound in Atlanta. That's a fantasy. I always wanted to have sex with a dwarf.
Starting point is 00:20:42 At least one. He wants at least one. He said at least one. He said at least one. I always had one woman that got the face of Toya Wright. Remember Toya Wright? Little way-made mama? Imagine a little with that face and a little fat ass. They got two little. Sorry, Grandma.
Starting point is 00:20:53 They got two little on Instagram. And I called them Tater Thoughts. Tater Thoughts. I seen that. And boy, they hear you up and reply back and say, if we ever catch you, we're bringing you down. We're pulling you right off that stage. Your kneecaps is done. Hey, man, I'm going to try to pick one of them up.
Starting point is 00:21:12 You know, it's going to be heavy. Now, Jesse, you're soaking up game from the OGs now. Because, you know, there's nothing new out here. There ain't no ideas original, nothing new under the sun. All you got to do is talk to the people that came before you, and you can avoid a lot of mistakes. Oh, yeah, man. I sit back and watch Mike 24-7. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:21:26 Mostly by what I was saying yesterday. I ain't all the way right. I was telling him yesterday, you know, I watch him and, like, how he just deals with people for the most part. You know what I mean? I'm learning a lot from that. Well, see, Mike is a little different because Mike done earned his stripes, though.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Right, of course. Mike can walk off set. You can't walk off set. I was his age, though, at one time, and it was, you know, I know how the pressure is of being young and having things coming towards you. You know, you're living a good
Starting point is 00:21:53 life, you're getting money, and you're a target, you know what I mean? And it's a blessing, and I say this to him all the time, it's a blessing that he got his family with him. You know what I mean? Because I ain't had no family. I moved out here to New York with nobody. I had $1,500.
Starting point is 00:22:09 I ain't know nobody. And I wish my mother and people would have been with me, you know? So it is like survivor's remorse for you. You got your mom and two. It is like survivor's remorse for you. So what about Uncle Buck, man? That's the show with Nia Long.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Will Packer's producing that, right? Yeah, Uncle Buck, ABC. Make sure y'all check it out. This is my first opportunity of being on a television show, on a national television show. Survivor's Remorse was my first TV show. That's why I went and did it. I said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:22:41 This is a good cast, and this is the first time that I've been on television. I'ma go do this show. I don't have to be the lead. Jesse Usher is the lead. He's a good lead. I'll play the uncle. Thank you. And then I turned around and got blessed
Starting point is 00:22:55 and got the uncle buck. Another uncle. Yeah, I'm uncle-ed out. Now, Starz is poppin' right now. Did you even know Starz was gonna end up poppin' like it? Because at first, you know, before Survivors of Morse and Power came. Because of black people, baby. Yeah, basically.
Starting point is 00:23:11 We got power, man. We made it happen. Yeah, this is a beautiful time to be black in Hollywood because in Hollywood, that door closes. They only get, you know, they punish us. If one black movie do bad, the whole black Hollywood do bad. They blame all of us. When you walk
Starting point is 00:23:30 in a room after a black movie bombed in a weekend, go have a meeting on Monday. They're going to say, you guys didn't do too well this weekend. You guys. I wasn't in that movie. Well, your cousin was. So Empire's opened up a lot of doors then
Starting point is 00:23:45 yeah Empire man is incredible man that every time I talk to Lee Daniels I tell him I say man
Starting point is 00:23:52 that was a blessing that was incredible and the reason why it's touching people so much is because they bringing reality to TV
Starting point is 00:24:01 they bringing the real stories that they been hiding from us all this time. They bringing it to television. Everybody want to be in music. Everybody want to rap.
Starting point is 00:24:11 You got all these, all the gay people. Everybody need a voice. Everybody need a platform to see they self and see what they want to do through these TV shows. And that's one reason
Starting point is 00:24:24 I like the fact that Lee Daniels is the director because he can get to do stuff like that. Stuff Lee Daniels can do, especially with the gay community, that a straight director probably couldn't do. People are like, oh, he homophobic. Exactly. He making us look bad. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:24:37 So, you know, it is what it is. What can we expect from season two of Survivors of Morris? I've been seeing the ads all the time, so give us a couple of them. Man, I think Uncle Jay goes ham in season two, man. We kind of let him off his leash quite a bit out there, you know, because in the first season, it was like a lot about the family being together and making the move and trying to figure out
Starting point is 00:24:56 what's going to happen. Now it's like, okay, we settled in the new city and everybody got to find their own thing. You know what I mean? Like Cam is in the middle of a season, so he's like practicing, playing basketball, that kind of thing. He's always doing
Starting point is 00:25:06 post-game interviews and stuff. Got your endorsement deal. Right, right, right. The endorsement deal is set. You know, we looking for other ways to get some money now, but other than that, you know, everybody else
