Episode description

Every single one of us has some kind of sense of humor, but only a precious few can make all of us laugh. Cedric The Entertainer is one of those rare people with near-universal appeal who has put together a hugely successful career as a beloved stand-up comedy legend, a Tony Award-winning Broadway star, a popular game show host, a sitcom star, an iconic movie star, and just for good measure he’s been awarded an honorary doctorate. For the last thirty years, he’s been one of our most important and influential public voices. The comedy legend, who stars in and executive produces The Neighborhood and appears in the hit TV comedy The Last O.G., opens up about his life before comedy, including working as an undercover security guard at Sears, his philosophy with hecklers, the Kings of Comedy Tour, and more.
