Kevin Hart longest Reign as top Black Male Comedian?

[Red Money]

Seems like a decade straight he was on top. NBA celebrity games, movies, commercials, stand ups, talk shows, podcast etc.


When Eddie, Martin, Chris Rock, Chappelle & Kat Williams had the crown....seemed very short.

Kevin had it so long he became annoying, lol.

Is he the top tho ? He just dropped a special, I still havnt seen it or heard anything about it

 

[maxamusa]

I think Eddie was longer

Chris Rock had a pretty long reign.

Eddie Murphy's run was "Short" ? in what Universe? Eddie Murphy has had more hits than Kevin plus he directed "Harlem Nights" with Redd Foxx and Pryor (Two of the GOATS). Even with his average to weak movies, his catalog blows Kevin's away. Kevin was mostly a supporting Actor in his Early movies. Eddie has been the Star from jump. The answer is no, Eddie still has the crown. He remains the highest Grossing Comedian in Box Office History as far as headlining films. If I'm being honest, I liked Martin run better than Kevin's once you include his show too. With that said, he's having a good career but how many Classics does Kevin have? Eddie and Martin have plenty.

Kevin hart is hard work
chappelle is talent

 

[Red Money]

Chris Rock had a pretty long reign.

You sure? Eddie then Martin takes you into 95. Bring the Pain Blow up was 1996! Chappelle was top draw during 2003 Chappelle Show era....Then Katt Williams around 2007 was number 1 black male comedian.

Bill Cosby

30+ years.​

 

[Human Torch]

kev my guy more because of his grind than anything but it feels like there ain’t much top tier competition if I’m being honest.

 

[Richard Glidewell]

What's the point of debating? Prosperity for all black comedians, long may they all reign

Not possible. Red Foxx and Pryor got claims for top black male comedian any particular years.

 

[Kornball The Conqueror]

Eddie run started before you were born








i hope

Eddie only had 2 stand up specials, but Eddie's Hollywood Reign (as the star as you said) is the King.
