Obviously, it wouldn't be on a black CAC's radar.

Had no idea him and Letterman was tight like that; he's godfather to his son?

Yeah him and Paul Mooney were always cool also dude looked out for all the comics he came up with and would have them on the show.

Had a long night; was sitting on the side of the road cause I hit a deer on the highway, front end is done. So while I'm waiting for the tow truck to come, I'm scrolling through my phone and TMZ had the pictures from the funeral. Seeing Pops laid out in the casket hit a niigga hard for some reason...

His son isn't funny tho. Kind of a cornball.

Yeah it seems like the comedy gene rarely makes it to the next gen imo.

I think growing up rough helps breed that edge you need to be a success in the comedy game. His son more than likely came up eating good so he ain't got that edge. I read somewhere that David Letterman gave him a bond as a gift that when it matured, more than paid for his college education.
