the scariest moment
0:03
in a comedian's life is when you bomb no
0:05

0:06
hell no the scariest moment is when
0:08
you're doing an hour
0:10
and the person you brought doing 20 is
0:11
up there murdering
0:13
murdering to the point where it's like
0:15
what kind of does great it's like i
0:17
always wanna be great
0:19
but i don't mind when you don't
0:23
he's gonna be easier on me not it's not
0:25
anything to do like it's just
0:27
i don't know first of all i just like
0:28
laughing so i find
0:30
laughter and like the uncomfortability
0:32
of seeing somebody
0:34
go up there going through it and jumping
0:35
away
0:37
[Music]
0:40
again boy what because it's like you
0:42
start
0:43
with yourself you start that click ah
0:46
that was funnier
0:47
okay give it up for the lady when he
0:49
said they go give it up for the ladies
0:52
yeah you know you don't know why that
0:54
joke don't work we don't know either man
0:55
i just can't
0:56
you know i wouldn't my
1:08
one time i want to do somebody else's
1:09
dress you know what i'm gonna do for
1:10
classes
1:15
that's the difference between like
1:16
rappers they can play other people's
1:18
songs to get the crowd
1:19
yeah i couldn't come out and be like you
1:21
know i'm gonna do a little bit of day
1:22
before
1:22
i start you can't do that you can't do
1:24
that i don't want to
1:26
i don't want to do it but this is like
1:27
that's the advantage people don't
1:28
understand and then people be like
1:30
man you need to put out more stand-ups
1:31
like jokes are not like songs you can
1:34
hear a song
1:34
10 times you heard joe maybe two or
1:36
three times and it got to be spread out
1:38
when you heard
1:39
yeah yeah i'm saying you can watch this
1:40
you can't watch the special every day
1:42
and laugh the same
1:43
and you feel the same type of joy listen
1:44
to it's like i gotta run that [ __ ] back
1:46
i i i take ever i can't agree with that
1:49
i can watch elephant in the room every
1:50
day and laugh the same
1:51
but patrice was so special like that's a
1:54
different level you say it all the time
1:55
yeah
1:56
it's only really how many people still
1:57
be going through this is my theory on a
1:59
lot of stuff
2:00
it's like uh say look at the aba right
2:03
you got the all-stars
2:05
those are who are supposed to be playing
2:06
but the team is just built around them
2:08
so they can have
2:09
you know make more money off of it's
2:10
like all be making a team sport it's
2:11
really like but it's only ten guys
2:13
that's why lebron is so dominant for so
2:15
long he's like he's generational
2:17
and then you got other guys like a.d kds
2:19
like but other people everybody else
2:20
is like you know they gonna come through
2:22
they gonna do their job but only a
2:23
certain amount of people are supposed to
2:25
be doing something at a time you feel
2:26
that way about comedy yes it's only
2:28
about
2:28
five to ten committees that are really
2:30
because then you see you got the trees
2:32
and we got five of them on this tour oh
2:34
the monster
2:49
vincent bryant right here vince what up
2:51
what's going on okay so
2:52
if you believe that there's really five
2:56
central characters in comedy who are
2:59
they
3:00
oh they don't they on the show what's up
3:02
just nice teammates
3:05
they're all right here wrapped up in
3:06
this tour that's what i'll say if it's
3:08
only ten
3:09
if you go every generation there's only
3:11
10 to 15 committees supposed to be there
3:12
yes
3:13
we've got five of some of that 15. i can
3:15
name other communities that could be
3:16
tony baker hilarious hilarious um um
3:18
black ron hilarious yeah
3:20
um um um todd davis out of baltimore she
3:23
won the abff
3:24
from detroit hilarious like it's we're
3:26
not saying these are only funny
3:28
communities we're just saying
3:28
these are the first we're the first five
3:30
who's willing to step out there and say
3:32
hey we got next
3:33
yeah that's what that's what this whole
3:34
production is about we got next
3:37
okay that's what i i get the sense and i
3:39
ain't knocking nobody is like
3:41
you know but you look at the time you
3:43
look at what we see
3:44
we just replace one another like kobe
3:46
took over from jordan
3:47
we just some of us carbon copies some of
3:49
us are unique individuals but
3:51
it's somebody got to move out of the way
3:54
yeah
3:54
yeah i'm saying i'm for the move you for
3:56
the movement yeah i'm for the movie you
3:57

6:50
well the biggest crowd i've been in
6:52
front of and i was like oh that's how i
6:54
was starting out i was just like
6:55
oh so anything else i do now is like bro

mic shout out to leon rogers
7:22
my big bro in the game i was coming out
7:24

he'd be running late sometimes so he
7:27
would let me host so
7:29
it's and i love the instagram comedians
7:31
but it's also some of those guys that
7:32
never perform and then they get these
7:34
road dates and they got this audience
7:35
but they don't have no material so they
7:36
would come and sit in this mic
7:38
so i'm sitting on stage one day and i
7:39
see them come in i was like oh yeah
7:40
that's my time where i'm wrapping it up
7:42

8:07
went on it like bro he told me he's been
8:08
knocked me out
8:09
i had to get my leg first
8:12
so i'm willing to fight about a joke
8:14
because look at bernie mac
8:16

8:18
this premise of this tv show was based
8:20
around one joke
8:20
so if [ __ ] steal parts of my life from

8:24
i got to get points for you so what do
8:26

8:27
because i know um
8:29

8:38
joke which said has denied
8:40
man i don't know what that dude talking
8:41

8:44
you know what i mean like if
8:47
a bigger comedian beat you to your joke
8:49
has that ever happened to you
8:53
this the only time i've had when
8:54
somebody did one of my jokes was when i
8:56
was in college when i first started
8:58
um that was when social media first
9:00
popped that was when you first started
9:01
seeing your
9:02
uh black girls act like this videos and
9:05
and um
9:05
um um it was one video that went viral
9:07

9:25
but how are you going to call it shane
9:26
man okay
9:30
but i'm just i need to finish i'm going
9:33
back though
9:34
to do
9:46
when i finally left high school and was
9:48
on my own i was like okay now i can
9:50
start thinking for myself i want to do
9:52
comedy
9:53
so i'm in school and i got one joke i
9:56
might just tell this one joke
9:58
and um i just it was it was horrible i
10:01
wanted to come on you got it
10:02
come on bro oh
10:14
my kickball was my favorite sport and
10:15
i'm talking about how i had this friend
10:17
who had a
10:17
uh a prosthetic leg and nobody ever
10:20
wanted to pick him
10:21
so i put him on my team one day and then
10:23
like it was like the last inning we was
10:25
down by one
10:26
they rolled the ball he kicked it and he
10:28
kicked the whole run but his leg was an
10:30
outfield
10:36
[Music]
10:47
we all had an evil joke in the beginning
10:49

you can can you i can
10:55
i'm not famous i have no repercussions

11:03
at juggies
11:04
what would you consider like an evil
11:06
joke now unfunny one
11:08
uh unfunny one um that that that that's
11:11
the difference
11:11
if it's only 10 people so i'll be doing
11:13
comedy and if not these 10 people
11:16
tote in that line of what's acceptable
11:18
sign everything else doesn't matter
11:20
like if i go get a janitor and make him
11:22
shoot 10 free throws
11:23
and he only makes two of them i can't
11:25
call that the standard
11:26
he's not a basketball player mm-hmm you

11:32
[Applause]

11:58
round thirty minimum all right all right

12:20
broke during quarantine you can't tour
12:22
and i would only a match for comedians
12:24

13:08

13:09
independent contractor it wasn't illegal
13:10
but
13:11
yeah you got it

i feel like comedians could have been
13:16
classified as essential workers
13:19
if you're good yeah yeah yeah
13:22
forcing us to work you know i like the
13:24
way that i like the way it broke man you

13:26
way
13:27
they just dropped them off yesterday
13:29
yeah you know hey
13:30
i got lucky i got lucky doing a
13:33
quarantine so i was uh
13:35
i got my first writing job and then i
13:37
was and then that kind of it took from
13:39
the writer's room to actually going on
13:41
set and
13:41
punching up so there's like a six month
13:43

13:55

i don't know what's going on i don't
14:10

14:12
your mustache
14:22
i've been dealing with that my whole
14:23
life yeah you know when [ __ ] bring a
14:25
whole life
14:32
let me ask you this because you put
14:33
together this congratulations
14:36
absolutely one of the reasons why i
14:38
looked at it and was like oh this would
14:39
be great because i'm familiar with
14:41
everybody that you selected
14:43
this isn't easy though people think you
14:45
could just call a few comedians maybe
14:47
call a sponsor
14:48
and then boom you could create this tour
14:50
man but how what was the process like
14:52
for you and how did you select these
14:53
people
14:54
uh honestly purely uh
14:57
isolated all these people because
14:58
they're my friends me and vince
14:59
mentoring since the first day i met
15:01
vince and we
15:02
i thought i was like are you funny
15:04
non-stop we've been on the road like
15:05
four or five years together
15:06
uh t murph when we did comic view
15:09
together back when he brought it back
15:10
with some more when i was like 19. uh
15:13
brought him to virginia he killed it
15:15
we've been tight since 2015
15:17
2012 really that's when we did it 2013.
15:20
uh cp again i did worldstar tv with him
15:24
um just i mean this is just my they're
15:25
my friends and then
15:27
we just happen to be those
15:30
[ __ ] like you ain't talking
15:31
about my dogs what are you talking about
15:34
and i feel like there's no community
15:35
that can watch the interview oh your
15:36
niece and nick's just funny
15:38
and he's just
15:45
a lot like me like when i first started

15:48
buzz
15:49

15:50
same thing from a female in chicago
15:52
and she's killing it and then i've never
15:54

15:58
trying to tell you is this the funniest
16:00
collective of comedians out right now on
16:04

every time you post something on youtube
16:28
like that's what i like we i look up to
16:30
you i love the freedom
16:31
that they created if they got it just
16:33
like it's so unique they ain't got to
16:35
ask nobody they just go out
16:36
and give them content they got direct
16:38
access to who they want so it's just
16:39
like
16:40
bro that's what we aspire to be that's
16:42
what we've been chasing
16:43
and to see them create on their own this
16:45
is like yeah we got to figure that out
16:47
i feel like they're the the new standard
16:50
were you know or
16:51
you know a new standard not the new
16:54
standard
16:54
a new standard of where comedy is and
16:57
where it could go moving in this age
16:59
right i loved it yeah to see to see uh
17:03
i mean it's really just i mean we did an
17:05
episode in my house when i lived in
17:07
harlem i mean
17:08
carlos so it's like to see it go from
17:09
that too they're selling out the macon
17:11
theater
17:12
you know what i mean two shows 1500
17:14
people and then gonna go make another
17:16
bag off youtube from three million
17:18
people watching it
17:19
and then go go make another million
17:21
dollars that they got on the people
17:23
like you go out there and touch them
17:25

17:35
that's part the goal then yeah all right
17:38
we're gonna get that reach we want to go
17:39
out there touch people and now it's just
17:40
like getting the people to the clubs and
17:42
getting y'all to buy tickets and coming
17:44
out and enjoying it and coming back and
17:45
building that relationship because
17:46
that's what i really want my friends is
17:47
like
17:48
i want to grow with them just as much
17:49
they grow me so it's like they get to
17:51
see me report on my life and
17:53
how i'm feeling about certain situations
17:54
that's what i want for people just like
17:55
when something happened
17:56
i wanted to like damn what vincent think
18:05
yeah i mean because that's that's really
18:06
what we do like we got some scripts and
18:08

18:24
she said she had a dollar budget and
18:26
took it all the way
18:27
to what we see now she got hbo and other
18:29
shows that she's spending off
18:30

19:38
like we got to get away you got to get a
19:40
level you got to get a little bit hey
19:41
let me ask you this you you mentioned
19:43
country wayne who i think is incredible
19:45
i think that dude is funny i think
19:46
pretty v's funny you know all these
19:48
different um
19:49
instagram i met country wayne through
19:51
instagram
19:52
and we actually had him do he actually
19:54
came and blessed us with a show before
19:56
but early on instagram mcs
19:59
mc's instagram comedians were getting a
20:01
lot of backlash
20:03
it's always whenever something new
20:05
that's just everything though
20:07
that was something new it's popular it's
20:08
not this old tried and true method and
20:10
people break through a different way
20:12
it's gonna be some resistance it's gonna
20:13
be some backlash you know there's gonna
20:15
be some some outcry
20:16
i don't feel like it was just it wasn't
20:18
just that this is what it was
20:21
they was taking people that had a
20:23
hundred thousand followers
20:24
and giving them the money on shows that
20:27
they were supposed to give to somebody
20:28
who put the hundred thousand hours in
20:30
um that's the only backlash like i mean
20:33
and then everything stemmed from that
20:35
you're giving opportunities to people
20:37
that
20:37
just literally are not ready but also
20:40
here's the thing i guess what i notice
20:42
and just after sitting back
20:44
i thank those instagram comedians
20:46
because they keeping the clubs over
20:48
they gonna sell out 10 shows so next
20:50
weekend when it's a funny [ __ ]
20:52
who can't really sell out but that the
20:54
previous week they kept the lights on so
20:56
it's just like
20:56
it's a give-and-take situation it's like
20:58
i thank y'all because y'all really
21:00
keeping the doors open for us but that's
21:02
now though that's now because
21:04
if any instagram person is this
21:05
something else shows us they've gotten
21:07
better than that if you see somebody
21:08
from social media
21:09
doing torn out they're at least good
21:11
enough to keep the people that want to
21:12
come see them
21:13
happy we're talking about when it first
21:15
first started people was just
21:17
going oh just because i want to see that
21:19
chair but that's the age of the picture
21:20
though
21:21
i want my picture they don't give a [ __ ]
21:22
about the performance i want my picture
21:23
with this person that makes me happy
21:25
because you know oh we in your living
21:27
room but now these people are watching
21:28
the phone on the toilet
21:29
that's how personal they build the
21:30
relationship with these people that's on
21:31
instagram that's close
21:33
so they want that picture man
21:38
i had a question
21:43
hey you went on tour who you went on
21:45
tour with cavs kevin hart
21:46
no we did uh he has this thing kevin
21:48
hart's presents part of the city so he
21:50
goes around
21:51
uh different cities and he gives
21:53
predominantly black acts
21:54
the first tv critic if you ain't been on
21:56
tv before he's gonna give you a shot so
21:58
that's
21:58
yeah and he gave you a shot yeah he went
21:59
up he came answered that wrong ask me
22:01
that
22:02
did you do something with kevin hart cam
22:04
don't want this smoke you gotta go fire
22:06
damn don't want this no i'm just playing
22:10
now
22:13
he broke the new blueprint you know what
22:15
i mean like i think every generation
22:17
richard pryor took it somewhere
22:19
you know what i mean um eddie murphy
22:21
took it somewhere higher
22:22
you know um you got the dave chappelles
22:25
the wayne brothers
22:26
martin you know they took her somewhere
22:28
but kev took it in terms of how to
22:30
monetize
22:31
comedy to places no one else took keep
22:34
going
22:34
and still he gets critique him coming
22:38
out
22:38
talking about people who said he wasn't
22:40
funny
22:41
i didn't even know if he needed to
22:43
address that yeah
22:45
but that still hurt though what it does
22:48
hurt
22:48
no matter who you are that's gonna hurt
22:50
because we can have this
22:51
everybody here could be laughing but if
22:53
he's not laughing i'm gonna be like wow
22:54
what yeah
22:56
yeah but at the same time bro it's like
22:59
kev's not
23:00
a comedian just for us anymore he's not
23:03
he's not just telling jokes
23:04
to this comedy club in new york city
23:06
he's telling jokes to the entire world
23:08
he's not just going on tour he's not
23:10
going to test attention so he's going on
23:12
a world tour a hundred city tour and
23:14
then
23:15
anybody that could take stuff out of
23:17
their act and still be funny he takes
23:19
he don't i don't talk about politics i
23:21
don't talk about religion
23:23
i don't talk about race real i'll heal
23:25
him at it but he don't really go into it
23:27
and i've seen interviews where he's like
23:29
oh he could if he wanted to but he don't
23:31
so it's like you taking stuff away and
23:32
you still able to be globally funny
23:35
you're a beast you're a different animal
23:36
and then his mindset is just
23:38
me and uh shout out to terrence j who's
23:40
also you know uh a part of this tour
23:42
we're shooting a special friend so you

25:18
anybody saying kevin hart ain't funny
25:19
kids no yo kiss my ass cause that
25:22

25:23
beings uh him and jamie foxx one of the
25:25
funniest human beings i've ever been
25:26
around yeah
25:27
jamie's multi-talented you know who else
25:29
i think is jamie
25:30
is one of the kings if you ask me yeah
25:33
but
25:34
in in terms of the present newer
25:35
generation
25:37
i i don't think trevor noah gets enough
25:39
props
25:40
that's the
25:43
trevor trevor gave me opportunity uh
25:45
when i uh first
25:47
was up here when he first took over the
25:48
daily show trevor was trying to help me
25:51
get on the day like be a correspondent
25:52
like my stuff but i said no i didn't
25:55
have no jokes for them i didn't know
25:56
how to do political and you know that
26:00
that type of stuff is you have to learn
26:01
how to do that you have to be prepared
26:03
to do stuff like that which is why they
26:04
ain't got a dog like roy wood junior
26:06
you know i'm somebody that could do that
26:07
for years and then from that
26:09
get his own thing going so try i mean
26:12
i've seen trevor killed travis one of
26:13
the finest comic series yeah i met i
26:16
met trevor doing stand-up before i even
26:18
before he even came to do the daily show
26:20
i've been watching for years thinking he
26:22
was incredible being from south
26:24
africa incredible i mean some people are
26:26
so like i say to my friends all the time
26:28
some people are so
26:29
themselves that it can neglect them from
26:32
being
26:32
as big as they could be like trevor's
26:35
such a cool
26:37
let's work type guy that he's not that
26:39
some people might not see him because
26:40
he's not loud
26:41
because he doesn't you know some people
26:43
don't always
26:45
snatch your your your the vision of
26:47
people immediately
26:48
sometimes you got to sit down and focus
26:50
if he's one of them if you stand in
26:51
focus
26:52
you'll be his fan forever you gotta
26:53
