Tommy Davidson's game never translated to the pros :mjcry:

Wild shyt is that I was watching the Varnell Hill episodes of Martin a couple of weeks back and was blown away how he stole the show from PRIME Martin back then. That is the only time I’ve seen Martin take a back seat on his own shyt.

I really wonder why his career never really popped off because he wasn’t a bad looking dude and clearly had range as an actor. But In Living Color and the Martin stuff are really his highlights. His character in Strictly Business was cliche and that Coming To America spinoff was a complete fukking disaster

Word on the streets was he had a bad coke addiction that kept him from reaching his potential.

Possibly the most unappreciated comedian ever

Legit had my favorite scene in the entire Martin series

Martin my GOAT show btw :ufdup:

He even made Martin break character



Whole shyt funny and it's better if u watch the whole shyt leading up to it but Martin breaks character starting @ 1:22

Couldn't even look Tommy in the eye without :russ:

I've always wondered the same thing. You could say the same about David Alan Grier. He's had a OK career, but he is a great actor and he hasn't had a ton of great roles either. DAG killed it on the Carmichael Show though

"I guess my baby girl is a full blown skeezer"

Yo!! :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

That shyt kills me every time, just saw that episode a couple of days ago.

I love the skits with Kim Wayans and David Alan Grier....Ceephus and Reecie....that old couple The Brooks, who always try to kill each other ("we STIIIIIIIILLLLLL together").

One time he told her:

"Yunno, Ms. Brooks...between all that CHEESE 'round ya neck, that MEAT on ya thighs and them ROLLS on ya belly, you like a walkin' delicatessen!"

nikka I FELL OUT. :russ::russ::russ::russ::russ::russ:
