Teddy Carpenter Finally Sets straight the many Rumors of his disappearance from the top comedy game

[@stephaniewspell9994]

Yes , we love you Mr. Carpenter 👑The King😂😂😂😂😂keep us laughing

[@Melvino151]

Great interview, Pierre!

[@carcarol08]

Loves this guy he is awesome!!

[@747hitman]

one of my favorite comics thanks for having my man on totally under rated.

[@t.breeze8659]

I never knew Teddy’s story at all. I attended several stand up performances of his in the 90s. He’d do shows in North Carolina. He always murdered it.

[@preachdumas1254]

I love how he absolutely does NOT allow loose ends.... when he tries to ask another question --- '... hold up , lemme finish the story ' - PROPS !!!

[@alexj1897]

Dope.

[@wfbellaballa]

Perfect example of jealousy, envy, greed, and hate 🙌🏽

[@prophet0114]

My wife and I were dating in late 80's in New Orleans before Def Jam was on T.V. A club had a Comedy Review..Club Whispers..R.Kelly and Public Announcement was The musical group..Bernie Mac was the M.C. the Closure was Teddy Carpenter. This Dude tore a hole in the Club. Was so funny..Truly A Funny and Dynamic Comic. The Comedy Politics has truly kept him from blowing up. He deserves to be heard. If he ever comes to your city.. do yourself a favor and go check him out. He's worth it !!!

[@rm3king]

I know the feeling when you see someone about to end your opportunity and they all nice and cordial

[@kingallah7911]

T,C. Hilarious I remember def comedy jam

[@chuckjefferson1950]

I really appreciate you having TC on the show... We miss bruh...

[@GB-vo8xc]

@TeddyCarpenter I've always appreciated your comedy even tho I only saw you on Def Jam back then. I was an early teen yet I related cuz you had a certain grit... hood! I wondered what happened to you and hearing your story, it makes sense to me now: people love the Muscle but they don't respect you enough to share the Money! They regard the Muscle as expendable while believing they can buy more muscle with their money. Most people don't understand, the muscle who has your back before you get the bag, the muscle is doing it out of love and not the money! You're blessed regardless and I hope you continue to move forward in life and effect change in the lives of other young brothers like myself💪🏾

[@kennyjohnson-simmons8437]

Teddy 's a beast!!!

[@Kre8tive-Cook-N]

When i want a good laugh i watch his stand ups. 😂😂

[@dwaynelee1789]

I saw him on Def comedy really funny guy. He said it he is unable to play the corporate game. That’s ok keep pushing Teddy!!

[@JanWynd]

DAMN..! ! ! !! I was wonderin what happened to Sun! Dis brotha usedta be KILLIN DefJam back inna day(I'm in my 40s now). I always wondered where he disappeared to. Props to Brotha Pierre for bringin Sun on the platform!

[@TT-dv9er]

That DMV breakdown was interesting. He is right about Virginia needing an identity.

[@damienhodges9761]

Teddy a prime example of the industry shutting down a REAL ONE

[@jarellbrown6974]

Real talk and I always wondered about him to and as soon as I saw ted carpenter on my thumbnail on here I knew this interview was going to be good since I know Pierre is going to cook.

[@johncapo2843]

DL - aka uncomfortable politics got him

[@productivecitizen2066]

A certain level of humility is involved. He doesn't have it. He doesn't know how to tone it down around white folk. They're already scared of us and jealous. He doesn't have the sense to figure it out clearly. That's why he waiting on another grown man to figure it out for him. Having the talent but not the ethics means squat! He reminds me of P on baby boy. When you gone find me a job type nigga.

[@dariuzjohnson9125]

Stop blaming others for your lack of success.

[@wfbellaballa]

🤣😭😭🤣😭 he said I don't drink or smoke Pierre looked at the camera like 😏(dis nigga 🤥. 😭🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@bencasey624]

Early 90s Ted was him. I remember seeing him at Mr Henry's ever Wednesday in DC.

[@TT-dv9er]

That shows how they hate keep. He had the top two performances on Def Comedy Jam. The GOAT.

[@jacknapyer]

It’s fucked up that agents have so much power.

[@anthonycook8206]

My wife and went to Teddy Carpenter comedy club almost every weekend. One of the funniest comedians ever!

[@sherondariley4224]

Yes, he’s one of the best to ever do it

[@davontaehill3937]

My wife and I 😂

[@LoveMeBack]

Did she hold his own?

[@tydee730able]

I hate that Pierre wouldn't let him talk freely. He wanted to shape it to look bad so he could be on the defense. Every time he tried to talk, Pierre would say, "I will ask you that later." Well, if that's something that you guys will talk about, then why does he have to wait for you to shape the question? Pierre black people like me have seen the arms stuff on I Love Lucy. I guess Fat stole it, but Pierre made DC seem like a hating a** place because this comedian was confident and kept to himself. The host seems so MESSY.

[@naomim5746]

He said something that was really profound. It is our responsibility to make sure that black businesses (that store, pharmacy, restaurant) don’t close. In this day and age, where we pay for convenience, it can be real inconvenient to go out of our way to buy black. But it’s our duty to do so.

[@TommieGun71]

That comment went right over the heads of 98% who listen to it.

[@horacehill8641]

I saw Teddy Carpenter as he was opening for the Whispers in Houston, TX in the 80's. I never heard of him prior to the Whispers show. He was hilarious. I wanted to hear more of him but was never able to find him. Thank you, Teddy, for coming back to the limelight. You are my favorite Comic.

[@Ron_B.]

Teddy's description of the DMV is pretty accurate, in my opinion. When talking about VA needing a street identity, as he knows it. However, he was more from DC and Maryland. In southeast VA, there was never a kingpin, gangster type of culture. There was and still is room for those who want that lifestyle. Trust me nothing sweet for anybody! Play in the 757 or the 804 and find out!

[@304lyfedtw7]

Arrogance will break you, humility will make you

[@TT-dv9er]

This dude was the funniest on Def Comedy Jam. He shut it down every time he was in there. I expected more out of his career.

[@jayar202]

He is just as authentic in person. I recently met him at the gym not realizing who he is. He gave very respectful regards to my mom when she called while Ted and I were talking about bike riding and catching the train back when you're too tired to ride home. He's a good humble man with character and integrity.

[@amandaanderson5114]

Kudos to Teddy for going against the grain and opening his own club on his terms. Too bad he didn't get the support from his community 🥺

[@RamseyGotu]

“I got my residuals, but I feel what you saying.” 😂😂 -Pierre

We need that Teddy Carpenter unsung. DC legend...

[@ponderosafuture]

💯 💯💯💯

[@Rollin225]

He from Va tho

[@HopeAndrea_HFG]

@@Rollin225 He said a while back that he was from SE DC. Maybe he moved around a little.

[@ryanhumor]

Carpenter, D.L & Mac sounds ridiculous. 🚀

[@dubbymac1971]

I remember the comedy club out greenbelt when Chris Thomas used to host and you was crazy back then Pierre when you was joining on sugar bear for wearing the same green guess Jean outfit 😂😂😂😂

[@shaimesh1]

Was a master in Def Jam but def understand it not paying d bills...Hope he gets pulled on some upcoming NetFlix specials with Dave Chappelle n them

[@davidmanson7159]

Teddy is one of the greatest comics. I knew he got blackballed. A real brother, that believed in himself. This brother had the walls moving. Keep on grinding. You were a real king of comedy.

[@elemmason]

When he said he heard stories of Pierre in L.A. 😂😂😂😂 Pierre!!!

[@kat64470]

What that mean

[@mrhamonSr]

facts he aint slick🤦🏾‍♂️

[@MichaelDavis-xz3ru]

Pierre I'm thankful that you bring out those Great Comics from your Era that never got Big as their talent so it's always good to see where they are now! Thank You!

[@williamwaters3588]

DMV is where we get our licenses not where we live.

[@kat64470]

What Teddy said is so true. I was a great cheer leader. But No one told me about the politics side of it. I thought well I have the skills. But they sent a pretty popular white girl to tell me and I didn't respond the right way and lost out. Being part of that squad would've changed my life trajectory.

[@londonlee8822]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pierre got mad asf 😂😂😂 47:00 watch from there lol

[@ComicPierre]

Never mad. Lol

[@TaWandaJoyner]

Great interview❣️ I'm glad that Pierre was able to clear up the rumors that he heard. Clearing rumors is positive as many people will believe anything, even the ones who should know your character.. I'm like Teddy, I don't care that you are talking about me just make sure you tell the truth when you tell the story.🦋

[@AmAFlowProductions]

Really enjoyed Teddy great interview! He may come for you, though, cause I don't see his social contacts. I found him tho.

[@DPRI13]

Definitely need a part 2.

[@DB33637]

Exactly

[@chrislatimer4391]

Man Teddy was a bad boy! I remember those Def Comedy Jam Days and he was so strong nobody could front on him. He cleared the path for out of towners at Def Comedy Jam and let cats know it was about the talent not being from New York! I appreciate you Teddy and give you your Flowers Homie! Miss You King!

[@juju2sweet198]

Teddy Carpenter is supposed to think highly of and believe in himself. I have always loved that confidents and Teddy can back it up.

[@koolbubbaice5204]

All I can say is I was there !!!!!😂😂 Nobody wanted to go on after him!!!! The show was over!!!!😅 Straight monster on stage!!!

Working on that

I was thinkn the same thing...cant wait to see it P 💪🏾

[@RAYCPAS]

One of the best interviews ever. Great Job Teddy and Pierre.

[@RasSosa]

Thank Teddy and Pierre!

[@DarrelRussell]

My pops used to host comedy back in the day in the DC club circuit-Mr Henry, Ibex, Quanset, and many more. I remember him telling me to come down and to the clubs and see some of the acts. He would be proud of these dudes...Pierre,Teddy,Martin, G.Anthony, Dave ,Willie and his puppet....keep it up fellas...but yes Teddy is a legend cause only "the mailman will understand why he dropped the mail off at the corners of SE neighborhoods"

[@i.am.chris.mosley]

Being a comedian is one thing…being a PROFESSIONAL Comedian is another…and being LIKABLE is the steroid that really helps

You’re right the GAME IS missing guys like him . Tony carpenter and R.I.P. Charlie Murphy is one of those too they funny as hell and REAL!!!!!!!

[@kevinrobinsonjr5440]

GREAT INTERVIEW!! 👍🏾

[@wfbellaballa]

I find it confusing that he was headlining and all the acts that went before him went on to be more successful and didn't look back to grab him... 🤔 After this interview we won't see him ever again

[@UnpopularOpinion3000]

....why is it so hard for us to stand with each other? I pray that the closed doors open, prosperity hugs him, and he is taken care of financially, spiritually protected, and treasured.

[@ememem6]

Glad to finally hear what happened to him. Def Jam was the vehicle that made a ton of stars. He was one of the 3 funniest, imo, and i always wondered why he never got his turn. Just saw him a couple months ago at a comedy club. Maybe 20 people there (bad promo on the clubs part), but he still killed it like it was at an arena.

[@veronicarickard7783]

I agree, now that he cleared all those rumors, yes give him a part 2 he seems like he has a lot of great stories to tell. Talent is another comedian that probably has a lot to say.

rare to find a teddy carpenter interview....but the right man was able to do it, its only right...shout out to Pierre for sitting down and giving us this interview of a comic legend.

I am so glad that they brought up that triple threat of comedy show Bernie Mac DL Huguely and Teddy Carpenter from 1993 saw it at the Fox theater in St. Louis…. anyone could see from miles away the Teddy Carpenter and Bernie Mac were destined to be stars…. extremely glad that Teddy Carpenter is on the show tonight being interviewed he is ONE OF THE BEST

[@markjones5757]

I noticed when Pierre ask him questions. First, he acts like he don't know what pierre is talking about, and then he starts to talk about the exact thing he was just pretending to have no clue about. Lol...he did this at least 3 or 4 times during the interview. 😅

[@spicey9780]

Some female comedian just said Ted Carpenter took her and other comedians money.

As much as I hate it, this is another example of how important knowing the politics of your business is. You don’t have to play the game but you damn sure have to know which games are being played.

He was my favorite to ever hit the Def Jam stage. I always wondered what happened to him

[@wfbellaballa]

He said he saved DL hughley's life by taking his stage time, "yeah let me finish this set they going to kill you" and now you want to remind DL 40 years later you saved his life.🤦🏿‍♂️ Teddy Carpenter is the most shiesty, perfect example of what goes up must come down, and karma..... He thought muscle wins over the Mind😭😭😭😭😭😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@j.spearsmagnolia3rduptown331]

Thank you Pierre. It's another.

[@NJGirl321]

I was listening to Kevin Harts Comedy Gold Mine interview with DL. DL spoke highly of Ted and to be honest I had to Google who he is. I recalled him after the first 5mins of this interview. I think Pierre did a great job of asking the tough or need to know questions even when it appeared difficult. Ted reminds me of a male MoNique (brilliant but doesn't play well with others) everyone has a job where they have to compromise or settle for different reasons but I don't think the cost to be the boss should leave you isolated or even not paid whatcha worth..but if he/she can live that way in peace then so be it...but their limiting their talents for all to experience and not getting paid their worth nc of it

Just watched this again for the second time. Teddy C, you a bad dude. I can see the evolution in the fact that you didn’t snap Pierre in half.😆 If I was to tell someone that what they were doing is offensive or hurtful, and they continued to do it or attempted to justify why they were offending me, then it’s a show of disrespect… @ 1:11:24-47 Pierre - “now I understanding why ni##er” & ”its’ my GD show! Notice how he looks at the staff as to suggest that, if this goes left…“Security!” When you frequently say to your “guest” that this is your show, then it makes you appear to be very insecure dude. 😢
