Guest(s):
Legendary comedian, actor, and singer Tommy Davidson joins Jared and Bo for a wildly entertaining and heartfelt episode that bridges comedy legacy with present-day grit. Best known for his iconic work on In Living Color, Tommy opens up about the early days of sketch comedy TV, what it meant to help break cultural boundaries, and why his experiences with Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, and the Wayans still shape his perspective.
This episode dives into what it takes to survive the stand-up circuit, stay sharp in an industry that doesn’t age well, and how Tommy has continued to evolve as a performer, author, and voice of resilience. He drops real wisdom on perseverance, originality, and not letting Hollywood define your limits—even when it tries to.
From raw laughs to sharp reflections, this episode is a must for anyone who grew up on 90s comedy or simply loves hearing from someone who’s not only lived it—but continues to reinvent it. Don’t miss Tommy Davidson like you’ve never heard him before.
