How Gary Owens stopped a funnier black comedian from getting a shot

[BrothaZay]

Cliffs-
Early 2000s
-Gary Owens thought Pierre told his wife(soon to be ex wife) that he cheats on her on the road

-Gary proceeds to blatantly sabotage Pierre career. He does things as small as saying he won't perform until Pierre leaves the building to having his agency blacklist Pierre from working with ANY of their clients

-when Pierre finally gets to confront Gary Owens after years and ask him what the problem was Gary told him. Pierre let's Gary know he never did that

-Pierre asks Gary why he didn't just reach out to him like a man initially and Gary said "I didn't want no problems"




The crazy thing is Pierre said he was close to Gary's wife friends wise. I wonder if she was ok with her white husband sabotaging her black friends career

Pierre was funny back in the day


Man fukk this cac piece of shyt. That’s why black people have to stop giving these motherfukkers passes and invitations to fukking barbecues. You see how this shyt always turns out.

lol Gary Owen does not have the clout to stop a comedian from working. He doesn't have it now and damn sure didn't have it in the early 2000's when Pierre was more famous than him

I’m sure a D list Cac comedian had more clout than a former C list black comedian in Hollyweird ...


I never liked him ...

He was always low key racist to me ...

Yes he does, the man has a successful 20+ year comedy career. He has some pull to blackball lesser-known comedians.

This.

I could see Gary doing shady shyt if this happened now.

In the early 00s, Pierre was more known than Owens. I never even heard of Gary until Think Like A Man and that was 2012.

Not saying Gary didn't do it, but can't imagine him having the clout 20 years ago to pull anything off on Pierre.

He wanna be "down" so bad but he literally held a real brother down.

This is like a bad written joke with no punchline.

If Gary Owens could get you blackballed in '03, then you weren't as big as you thought

Making it seem like it was Chappelle that put in the call
