Bruce could be a motivational speaker... his stories and the way he speaks just make it seem like everything is gonna be ok😂😂

[@jill4481]

Listening to Bruce reminds me of old Supervisor, his fav line was, "All is well" 🧘🏾‍♀️😄

[@stevem5332]

[@AMOKIAN]

Amen to that….

[@miketay713]

I swear I listened to this interview from beginning to end

[@michaeldunnings8502]

I remember I was in the Atlanta airport heading home for a funeral and I was in the food court sitting down to eat and shortly after sitting down I heard this voice say how are you doing my brother. It was Bruce Bruce right next to me. He just started talking to me like he knew me al of my life. He said he could tell I was going thru something and was just checking on. He was the coolest dude and I felt so much better after our conversation. I will always be gratteful😢for compassion and uplifting me at one of my lowest points. I will never forget it. Very good dude.

[@crodneyjr]

I worked with Bruce in 1995 at Uptown Comedy Corner in Atlanta. Bruce is the nicest guy…. Real talk. What you see here is 100%

His grandad sound just like mine. It took for me to grow up to realize he was the coolest dude in our family. Owned his his house, cars, and paid all his kid’s college and my grandma hasn’t worked since she was a teen, all while being a black man. Nothing but admiration for him

My grandmother was also very dark skinned, with royal blue eyes.. i knew exactly what he meant when he described his grandfather... There must have been a gene that ran thru our ancestors that gave them the DARK SKIN/ROYAL BLUE EYES combo. My grandmother was soooooo beautiful. Her eyes were absolutely amazing! 👑

[@Justme12369]

10-20 million viewers in the 90s!!! That’s people being in the house at the same time tuning in. He’s not in enough conversations and I’m appreciative for this interview. I hope Bruce makes his rounds in black media during this run

[@rosalinddixon6776]

Bruce Bruce - a REAL one!! Down to earth guy. Met him walking through the mall in Jackson, MS. I was cordial and simply asked him, "How are you doing?" I had my Packer gear on, and he said, "I like your team - come on and get you a picture. Thank you, Bruce!

My best friend is short as hell you pulled all the tall ones around me had me looking stupid!!! He told me what do I have to lose or can she can say is no!!! When you grow up and NO is all you hear, it makes you gun shy and to get yourself a real good woman you can't be scared of getting shot down in Love!

I met Bruce Bruce when I was a teenager - he was hosting a hair show in Birmingham. Thought we he saw me he was gonna start cracking jokes cause I had 8 big-azz dookie braids but he was kind, authentic and complementary. He gave me his business card of his manager. I was deejaying and he offered me a chance to open up for one of his shows. I lost the f'n card ... this was before the internet so I had no other way of reaching out... TRAGIC!!

[@bigharp0949]

I hope I’m as real, intelligent, witty, wise, cool, calm and collected as Bruce Bruce when I get a bit older. 💯💯

At this point, Katt Williams should claim everyone on his taxes for 2024 but aside from that, Bruce Bruce was one of my favorite acts on Comic View. I miss those days. Much love to one of our comedic OGs

[@shazzari]

Still one of my favorite comedians to this day right along with Bernie Mac. BET should’ve capitalized off Katt William’s interview & started airing old Comic View episodes right away. That’s how I discovered so many comedians. Including Bruce Bruce.

[@twothumbs8925]

Nobody mentions Deon Cole, one of the funniest comedians. Way underrated

My husband and I saw him in Charlotte. It was him, Martin, Deray, and some other comedians. He was the funniest on the show! He had us laughing so hard the entire time.

I rarely finish full interviews, especially when they're an hour. I could've watched this one for 2. This was amazing.

These young boys that didn't grow up in the 70s, 80s, just don't know how dangerous it was back then. If you grew up in the hood at that time, you can't be nothing but a real G. We saw it all, we lived through it and made it.
