re: Katt Williams goes scorched earth on his peers in interview with Shannon Sharpe

Katt’s career is dead last I checked due to a number of incidents. He’s beyond giving a frick because I’m pretty sure he is done anyway.

---

He’s on tour right now and doing pretty big venues. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

the guy is either off his rocker or he knows a lot of dirt on people. It was def an interesting listen.

---

he says he could run a 4.16 forty.

I vote of his rocker.

met Katt Williams when he came into the Walgreens pharmacy in Gonzales one night.... he was high as giraffe pussy! but he was nice at least....

that's all i got

he’s just not as appealing across the board as the guys he trashes

This is his point. He makes it pretty clear in the interview. Power and influence determine appeal. How are Steve Harvey and Ced more appealing when their entire careers are due to stealing other people's work? The receipts were very quickly all over the internet immediately following the interview. Mark Curry(Mr. Cooper) just got infinitely more attention than he's had in years due to these receipts.

This is true, but there's 2 sides to every story. There's also receipts on the internet from a long time ago of comedians - including Dave Chappelle, for making fun of Kat bc he wasn't reliable. Kevin Hart is on a radio interview making the point that Katt would skip out on promotional appearances, and cancel shows and shite. It seems reasonable to me that power and influence put their money behind talent that can be depended upon to fulfill their obligations. Anyone making a payroll will tell you they pay and promote the workers who, you know, show up to work. The ones slacking off and causing problems typically don't move up.

I LOVE a conspiracy and I do believe what he says about people stealing jokes, and producers or whoever trying to get sexual favors. But this shite about the illuminati and putting black comedians in dresses... come on. White comedians have done dresses too. No one said it was the illuminati when Robin Williams wore a dress. Or Tom Hanks. Or Dana Carvey. Or John Travolta. Or Adam Sandler. Or Jim Carrey... etc etc. Drag is a comedic trope for an easy laugh. But Dave Chapelle and Katt Williams think the illuminati do it to black guys to control them. Come on.

We all glossing over the 50MM offer from Pdiddy?

I believe he said he was offered that four times!

quote:

Katt mentioned a few times that he hates doing media and having to "sell himself" on radio. He pointed out that's the reason why he finances all his tours himself. He pays for it all and gets the rewards from it.

Kind of goes against his "I'm not on their level bc I wouldn't suck a dick/wear a dress" angle

I watched some of the interview last night (about half) and thought his answers seemed slower than a quick witted comedian usually is.

ETA: no one else thought maybe pain pills or some type of thing? Maybe he was just super high?

But he seems high energy in his comedy specials and he was very sedate in that interview. And rubbed the top of his thighs with his hands constantly (maybe nerves if he was telling the truth on everyone?)

Chappelle alluded to this a lot if you listen to him in his stand up specials. He talked about how he felt like people were laughing for the wrong reasons, where he was making a mockery of black folks for white people to laugh at.

one of the many reasons he quit was he hated Hollywood, he was tired of the 20 hr work days, the impact on his stand up career, he couldn’t control his own show and they took advantage of him, but he took a break from comedy in general because he wasn’t sure if he was helping or hurting the black community through his style of humor.

On an episode of Netflix's "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman," the TV host featured Dave Chappelle as a guest and immediately jumped into the nitty-gritty — pondering why Chappelle left his famous Comedy Central series, "Chappelle's Show."

In the interview, Chappelle revealed that he was initially "terrified" by his snap decision to leave the show. Letterman soon drew attention to the specific scenario that led to Chappelle's departure.

"When you left your show, there was an episode described ... that somebody on the crew laughed at a sketch you did, and you thought the laughter was on the wrong side of humor," Letterman recalled from his research.

Chappelle then confirmed the story. He clarified that the sketch involved him dressed as "The Black Pixie," per Fader, who, as Chappelle described, would "pop up anytime a person felt the pains of racism."

The comedian maintained that "It's not a bad sketch," but he further added, "Hearing the wrong laugh while you're dressed that way, it makes you feel shame."

And while his decision to leave was "really scary," the comedian stands by his gut. "You've got to face a lot of your fears. Some I faced better than others, but I was determined."

The incident, however, was not the only reason why Chappelle decided to call it quits. Read More: LINK /

No way Katt read 3,000 books a year as a child. That’s like 10 books a day and even if he did no way he would retain that info
