[@DavidRichardson95]

The OG _Apollo_ episodes had everybody and their mama on here. And this was before _Def Comedy Jam_ a few years later.

[@teebriggs3624]

Damn I've watched this guy for years and had no idea he could sing. I have no doubt had he chosen singer instead of actor he could've made it easily. Wow

[@danmar007]

Wow! That was amazing!!

[@clownjewels]

Glad you liked it!

[@klomax7089]

Wow I didn’t know he could sing! I miss old skool comedy

[@SchuykerBonder]

“The Holy Ghost whispah”

[@fuhyou3223]

When I watch old stuff like this I always wonder why aesthetically things just don’t look like THIS anymore. I watch old clips of NBA games from the 90’s to now and it’s just like night and day. Even in my own real life, things don’t look and “feel” the same as when I was a kid. I wonder if that’s just something that happens as you get older. Anybody else know what I’m talking about? I’m almost as old (36) as this clip. Great set btw.

[@blackwolverine1]

Nope it's society as a whole. Other folks on KZbin are talking about the same thing here.

[@drewzalo]

I’ll never understand how people get so hyped for something. Maybe it’s an emotional thing and they just lean into it. David was and is great tho.

[@TheJayblaze3]

They get up because they have souls, and as Foundational Black Americans, they could resonate with everything he is saying because it comes from them. Very weird comment you just made. Maybe you are half an immigrant or full-blown black immigrant who can't relate to the Foundational Black American culture/lineage.

[@blacknbougie8021]

​@@TheJayblaze3school em family! Weird a** comment 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@drewzalo]

@ or just curious? Not sure what a “foundational black American” is

[@royshuler7046]

“…and every where that Mary went…!”

[@onthemarc81]

​@drewzalo you not knowing what a foundational black American is explains why you don't understand they hype.

[@dishonwashington3792]

So underrated. Jamie Foxx copied this bit in his 1st major stand-up. But stupid funny part is, DAG played Don 'No Soul' Simmons in a skit in a movie: Amazon Women From the Moon.
