I met Tommy Davidson at a comedy club I waited tables at. He was SO SWEET and he cooked all the waitresses lemon pepper wings and it was really good 😩 I have a ton of respect for him
Tommy wasn’t about to fall for the okey doke that Vlad tried to set. He turned that questioning on its head. He could see what Vlad was trying to do from a mile away…
@@abdulclutch4509 Don’t laugh at your own comments, it’s unbecoming. What Tommy DID was highlight the fact that cherry picking quotes in order to stoke beef for clicks is not something he’s about…He pointed out there were multiple pages praising Foxx. Tommy’s intent was not to start beef with Jamie but rather explain the totality of his experience. He rejected in total Vlad’s framing & turned the whole question on its head. It was deft, smart & a master stroke.

Tommy is unsung comedic genius. He was pure and funny without having to over act or express himself. Living Color was a classic comedy that brought out a lot of superstars. This brand of comedy wouldn’t last now because people are just WAY TOO SENSITIVE now.
Exactly... and I still think IN LIVING COLOR & MAD TV is way funnier than SNL ( don't get me wrong SNL was real good but way back in the day when they had the legends on it it's no where what it once was ) so many major stars were made from ILC & they are all so talented that's for sure... anyways hope u enjoying u sunday 🌞 & HAPPY EASTER 🐰🐇!!
Truthfully Tommy held that all-star in loving color cast down just from being funny…everybody had a specific character on that show they was known for but Tommy was just pure energy and hilarious…salute to Tommy and the cast you truly had to be alive during those times to understand this man’s genius 💪🏾‼️
Much respect to Tommy for making it abundantly clear that he is not a victim or burning with envy at someone's success. I always liked his work on in living colors and Martin.
Honestly I go through that at work with somebody like he did with Jamie. I brush it off, but that kind of stuff still affects me, and I don't want to lose my job by reacting crazy. The biggest thing I can control is how I treat other people and that's with dignity and respect, and then also do the best job I can. Great lesson to be learned.
I know what your saying stay strong never react , I like to think of it this way the crazier they act , the more embarrassing the story is going to be for them for the rest of there life , a pen or pencil or written words can cause a whole lotta damage when done right
I had to walk away from these Hispanic chics everyday,so what I did is stop coming through the Office way,and come in another entryway, cause I was about to go off on these Women at Work and so I kepted my distance,but I understand completely what you are saying,and going through,I will keep you in my Prayers♥️👍🏾
Tommy Davidson's a legend. Sad that it wasn't a family atmosphere. It seemed like it. Specially when the fly girls would come out and everyone would all dance. Classic show. One of the best shows ever.
I loved him and Jamie as ace and mane on in living color, but any man should be able to hold his on, what he should've did at night write a lot of jokes about Jamie so when Jamie fucd with him , tommy hit him with crazy jokes, every time he saw Jamie it's jokes, break that shitt, unless tommy sweet and Jamie joked about it, , how can you get bullied as a man
This is an interviewers job to dig into things and ask questions some people are to afraid to ask because of XYZ. He got an honest answer that shed some light into something that could have been taken the wrong way. The knowledge Mr. Davidson dropped is pure gold.
Growing up with In Living Color it great to see Tommy handle himself so well in the interview. Speaking the truth but not just bashing Jamie... Even though he obviously could
Bru so real. Every clip he’s speaking maturity and wisdom. When vlad asks loaded questions Tommy gives perspective other than his own even in situations where he could make himself look better he still just says what it is/was…most people need mushrooms lsd or to live long enough to ascend to that level
When I was a kid and saw in living color, I always thought Tommy Davidson was gonna be one of the big breakout stars. Still kinda surprised he never hit it as big as I felt he deserved
I thought Tommy Davison were hilarious in the movie “Strictly business “ great, love watching, never got/ get tired, talented cast!!!!!/ ℹ sometimes forget that Halle spell were in
say Timmy you feel like people stepping on your toes & cramping your style in these comments? Damn near everybody calling him the greatest, or a legend (for real) ...but that’s YOUR thing!
I remember an episode of In Living Color when Tommy and Jamie almost got into a fight on live on air. Jamie was playing Wanda and he was chasing Tommy and pulled his pants down. It seems that this was not part of the rehearsal and they squared up like they were about to fight right then and there before the others stepped in. Foxx also got into a fight with LL Cool J on the set of 'Any Given Sunday'.
Yeah I just watched that scene because of your comment. It’s just male humor, but not everybody is legitimately cool with that. I remember seeing Paul Bearer from WWF do that to Stone Cold during a blooper. Austin just laughed it off like Tommy did in the moment, but you can tell both we’re uncomfortable.
With the LL situation LL was getting to hyped up in his character and Jamie told him to chill then they got into words ..I'm not saying Jamie isn't a dick Bec he had another issue with Colin Farrell on the set of Miami vice...
" Kim Cole said she had a problematic situation while working on In Living Color,(Not in those exact words) Because Keenan Ivory Wayans would always give his sister Kim Wayans the best comedy parts on the show."!!!🤷🏾♀️😒😒
If you’re not a comedian you wouldn’t understand what it’s like to be in an environment such as In Living Color. The amount of talent Keenan pooled together was incredible. All of them young, trying get their shine on and become stars. Dog eat dog for real.
@@el-Cu9432 Bill Bellamy talked about the whole scenario at length. Look for it on UA-cam. It's hilarious. But yeah, that's what I got from it. LL wasn't with the shenanigans
Love his scenes in Black Dynamite...Lmao me and friends still quote lines from this movie... 2 hot dogs, split down the middle twice, Okay...bologna, fry that up into a dome, slice that, take a spatula, SMUSH fry it! 🤣🤣🤣 Chicken n Waffles scene ordering scene.
I relate this to Will Smith's incident with Chris Rock and my own experience as a standup comic. People don't realize how mean some comics really are (this is two examples of Foxx's behavior. Lookup Patrice O'Neal, one of my favorite comics, but known to be a huge asshole in real life). It's because alot of comics are depressed people and use comedy as an outlet. In addition, comedy is essentially criticizing, judging and insulting people and reality. Comedy can be a form of bullying if not done correctly. On social media we've cyber bullied Will Smith and family for over a year, in an attempt to be humorous, (making and sharing hurtful memes) about their personal relationship that they exposed so we could learn how to overcome family problems. I'm not saying this to excuse Will Smith's behavior, but to open people's eyes to the true danger in standup comedy and the power of our words. Specifically, roasting people who didn't ask to be roasted. Mental Health is real and many people, especially comedians, suffer from mental health issues. And as the saying goes, "hurt people, hurt people". Another example you can examine is the MTV show Catfish. A majority of the people who conduct the scam are people who have been hurt in life and have mental health issues (low self esteem) who are making poor decisions to cope with their pain, and most of which were not truly intending to hurt the other person although that was the end result. It's a vicious cycle and I pray we open our minds to learn to be kinder to one another and seek mental health services so we break the cycle of hurt. To create a better society. Let's be quick to understand and slow to judge as none of us are perfect. I hope Chris and Will both heal, learn, take accountability, forgive and receive forgiveness. It's easy to judge like we are perfect, but we've all made a mistake we can be judged about. And I'm sure we've also taken accountability for those mistakes and chose not to repeat them. Thus, we deserve forgiveness and with that understanding should be willing to forgive. I hope we learn to be more understanding to all sides so we can resolve conflict better. To Err Is Human, thus we all deserve forgiveness. Especially if we are willing to be accountable. I leave you with this, you never truly know how much someone is hurting inside and close to ending their life ( ie Robin Williams). It cost nothing to be kind and understanding and we have kindness and understanding in unlimited supply. Share this with your community and see how much better it becomes and the lives you save and change for the better. Break The Cycle.
I will never forgive Jamie for what he did to Doug Williams that night. I recently heard him try to explain what happened or why he was so cruel. His response was very flimsy and phony. You could actually tell that he held onto some level of guilt. He should have come clean years ago. Horrible person
He continuously says, "My book is about." People will read your book & interpret what you say, the way they want to interpret it. If you say a lot of things that people interpret to be negative, they will focus on that, rather you want them to or not.
I remember when Tommie worked in the galley at Naval Medical Center, Bethesda Maryland back in the day as he was cracking jokes then!!! Saw him in standup in Jacksonville FL.( Comedy club) years later and he was off the chain. Mad respect for this brother from our Nation's Capitol 👏🏿 🙏🏿 🙌🏿!!!!
I can guarantee you that Jamie Foxx would not have the success he has now without the scenes he did with Tommy. Tommy brought out the best scenes with him and energetically was on the same level as Jim Carrey, if not more and funnier. I always felt like him and David Alan Grier deserved better careers considering the talent they had
Absolutely deserved better careers..just like a 9 to 5 , the most talented person is never made manager/superior. Its always a ( obvious to everyone except corporate) lesser talented a-hole like Jamie whose is elevated to higher success...
@@PastorAaronEdwardsHall I’ll put it this way, comedians may receive more slaps (or more) in the future if they keep saying disrespectful shit to people but calling it comedy. I don’t think that would be a bad thing.

Absolutely deserved better careers..just like a 9 to 5 , the most talented person is never made manager/superior. Its always a ( obvious to everyone except corporate) lesser talented a-hole like Jamie whose is elevated to higher success...
“Not meaner than meee!” Talk to him Tommy. The book, the interview, no diss.
They say "Queens"are Competitive.... The room was probably too small for all the flames 🤣❤️🔥🤣❤️🔥🤣❤️🔥
Facts

Its sad a person has to sacrifice their integrity, body, other individuals an souls in exchange for their God given talent!!!
@@aaronstephenson9310 People can be like that anywhere. From restaurant kitchens to high school newspapers. Lol
@@sanskretro you think the shit that routinely goes on in Hollywood happens in your local restaurants and high school newspapers??? Hahaha
I truly love the way tommy handled this, people that go to Vlad really need to unpack how he answered this line of questions
In light of this Chris Rock drama, comedians using the guise of comedy to just be mean needs to be addressed.
That's what I said.
So all jokes have to be nice......
@@PastorAaronEdwardsHall I’ll put it this way, comedians may receive more slaps (or more) in the future if they keep saying disrespectful shit to people but calling it comedy. I don’t think that would be a bad thing.
the Chris Rock joke wasn't disrespectful.
@@MzSoulll comedy is a matter of taste.
Remember that dating show when he walked out behind the wall and saw it was Wanda and he began swinging at the air while in Jim Careys arms. 🤣
I sad it once “and I’ll say it again” LOVE the cast of In living Color.. but Tommy Davidson & David Alan Grier were & are still my favorites
Them and damon was my favorite
@@tydeprince719 “Damon was the truth”
They don’t get enough credit. David is a phenomenal actor and comedian a well as Tommy.
@@qjohnson21 “Amen & Amen”..
I never heard nothing about Tommy doing shenaniganish like other entertainers, comedians, etc. Always presented himself in a classy respectable way.
I Rock with tommy over Jamie any day.
What a articulated person tommy davidson is.
