Nah, he means not being on drugs and having public meltdowns.
Yeah but he's also not blackballed. He chose not to play.

Yeah I hate when dudes say they blackballed and they say I didn’t want to kiss ass. When I’m their minds kiss azz equals being professional and not letting your pride get in your way. I understand not wanting to do any gay ish. But Kat Williams has had Netflix specials and won a Emmy from Atlanta in last few years, who is he claiming blackballed him. People love to say “Hollywood” but you notice they don’t ever name the specific network or studios did them dirty.

Outside looking in, playing the game means doing a bunch of PR.
I see Kevin Hart way too much. I'm not mad at Katt for not wanting to do interviews every 3 hours.

I honestly fail to see how he was blackballed.
He did a couple of stupid, erratic things and said some off/color things but he NEVER really went over the deep end to the point where he’d truly be shunned from the industry. He still put out specials on Netflix, was in movies, and won an Emmy.
Just because he didn’t attain the heights of Chappelle/Hart doesn’t mean he was blackballed. It takes a LOT of strategizing/networking/ discipline to reach those levels while maximizing your window. Not everybody is built for that

even patrice admitted he burned bridges and messed up opportunities for no reason. chris rock roasting him for showing up unprepared to the everybody hates chris audition was a classic moment in radio lol
honestly hollywood and mainstream success requires something that a lot of comedians are just gonna innately lack. many of the greats started comedy because they didn't want a real job and had a level of disdain for the world in general. as soon as the shyt starts feeling like actual work where you gotta show up somewhere by a certain time every day and do what someone else tells you to do they bail out or turn to their addictions. prolly best to do the hard work early then cash out and do whatever you want after like chappelle/seinfeld/roseanne

@My Girl is Bow Legged what are other jobs similar to comedy in terms of how you framed it? You said many got into comedy because they didn't want a real job and had a level of disdain for the world in general. I don't want a real job either and have disdain for the world.
