David Allen Grier trained in Shakespeare at Yale University, where he received an MFA from the Yale School of Drama🧠. In a world filled with ppl claiming to be one of the greats, David truly is! The difference between him and a lot of the other comics is he doesn't have to boast and brag! He doesn't walk around calling himself a goat of comedy because he knows he is💡. His comedic range flows easily from slap-stick, to spoken word, to stand-up and bounces right back to silver screen acting! With that being said, we salute you Mr. Grier, truly a goat of comedy!!

[@jamaalcurry8990]

I concur ❤💯🇧🇸

[@jacobvolel977]

U put that greatly 👏🏿 I never knew know it explains why he’s so deep in his bag when it comes to range.

[@Sam-E777]

U know what u sayin!

[@agendaxpushers1322]

yeah well he a sambo for this movie

[@CarsonDouglas]

He went to Yale ? And doing a movie about a secret black society ? I never knew he went to Yale. That school guarantees your success.

[@terryreid3705]

This guy is so underrated, absolutely hilarious

[@anthonytaylor7928]

Why people so darn quick to use the word underrated on KZbin so darn much stop!! He's not underrated

[@terryreid3705]

@anthonytaylor7928 well my good not sure about the ppl that your talking about, I just stated my opinion, I know that he is funny in every project that he's involved in and you and I both know that he's not mentioned in that regard, that's why I say he's underrated 😉

[@xcelmateo1956]

Super Underrated

[@xcelmateo1956]

David Alan Grier is one of my FAVORITE comedic actors!

[@MikaMile-tp3kp]

Listen to him tell jokes all i can see is brand new sketches popping up in my head. TV needs this type of genius comedy writing. That bit about him passing the drink to Charlamagne and asking him who he wants to slap, that's the type of writing that we need to bring back NOW.

[@Royalt1981]

David Alan Grier is the perfect combination of comedy and wisdom

[@jonathanjohnson5216]

[@paceyourself5652]

David Alan Grier is royalty. Salute to the Breakfast Club for having him on, and now I gotta see this movie. 🍿

This man has been hilarious for decades. I love the calmness of his conversation

[@tmfm727]

The Carmichael Show will always be in my top 5 comedic sitcoms. David Alan Grier was a huge reason why that show was so good.

[@jessgates200]

and i hate that that show is what made me realize how much a gem he is. It made me go back. That was such a good show

[@thecunninlynguist]

I can't even imagine In Living Color coming out today...if it did, it'd be a sanitized version...basically modern day SNL. ILC pushed the boundaries and I was all for it. Classic skits, performers.

[@basementvybz309]

It would be boring 😂.

He looking good sounding good & healthy. Love David Allen Grier.❤

[@csmith2484]

It was a pleasure to watch this interview. I love David Alan Grier's poise and intellect. He answered every question and paused when he needed to. He's a wealth of knowledge. I'm also glad that Envy wasn’t there because we needed to hear David's perspectivein peace.

[@BootCampBrandon]

DAG is a legend and I love how he speaks to the next generation. Jess is so authentic and I love how she is unapologetically Jess. Excellent interview.

[@winterbaby219]

Love David Allen ❤ so funny, intelligent & calm. Jess is absolutely right he looks great,this man will be 68 in june 😮

[@brendabrenda9052]

I miss the 90's. We had the best of so many worlds. Film. Television. Sports.

[@Jonking_337]

He played the hell out of that role Monster on Tales From the Hood.

[@LynPark23]

Boomerang is a classic, and you, sir, were amazing in that film. 🙌🏼

[@loriwaddles306]

David. Sigh. He is one of THE most talented thespians working today and I am a devout fan. First because of his sheer brilliance, but secondly because his parents were longtime members of my home church, Ebenezer AME in his hometown of Detroit. And we could not be prouder that he comes from, was raised up within our Community!! So, whatup doe, baby boy! Keep being you!! You are loved!!!🥰❤️😘

[@Justme12369]

Love that he took time to pour into them. I don’t agree with everything Jess says but it’s sad to hear that she doubts her spot. What God has for you, is for you.

[@brendabrenda9052]

We need to hear more comedians, actors and other artists pour into the next generation. Love this!

[@mismissy]

Jess looking at Mr Grier like 😍. I love it! That's respect and admiration

Real fuckin living legend. Most of our childhoods are stained with his Corky, cultured and funny ass comedy. Genius.

David Allen Grier Pastor Leon Lonnie Love on Martin 😂😂😂

[@bigharp0949]

The fact that it’s only 150k views on the interview of the great David Alan Grier lets us know where we are now as a society.

[@christopherbenning6085]

He has the best expressions on his face😮😮😅

[@bsandmg]

The smarter comics are so layered, every interview is amazing, you can’t get In Oiving Color again because from Tommy to the Wayans to Jamie and Jim they were some brilliant well read and knowledgeable people, and the talent was different

[@taylor_mmaaddee]

I am throughly enjoying this conversation. I feel like he is a dad, uncle, or big brother dropping wisdom. Yes he is one of the G.O.A. T and when he drops those pearls of wisdom we should all listen and take heed. I have been a fan, since, In Living Color. Great interview!!!

[@Adboss17]

One of the first ppl from my childhood that made me realize comedy..real black legend and king..

[@shonnyd4071]

I really liked him as a reoccurring character on Martin. EVERY episode with David Allen Grier was HILARIOUS!!

[@3220sunshine]

I also loved his character in Queen Sugar as the abuser. He was good.

[@TheCloveart]

21:23 People don’t know that Club Shay Shay has been around for a couple of years. And the people who said certain things about Katt were on Club Shay Shay BEFORE Katt’s interview. Kevin Hart said Katt was on drugs on the Breakfast Club years before Katt’s interview.

[@blueshirt725]

I love the Wayans brothers but David was the funniest of them all,hands down ❤😂

[@spiderpimp33]

Hands ALL THE WAY DOWN! Lol! I’d say Damon was a strong 2nd as far as ILC and the Wayans.

[@BillCosbyTouchedMyDoodle]

David is not a Wayans.

[@eddiecoleman1504]

Calhoun Tubbs is the funniest character he ever played! Thank you very much! 😭😭😭

[@robertbrown8900]

I love his answer at the beginning of the interview: CTG: "How are you, David?" DAG: "I'm good, man.. I woke up, so I'm good" Many people take life for granted. Gotta appreciate every moment, and every breath.

[@dextermaryland5886]

It’s great to see how Jess Hilarious has added new energy to the show, and how she admires comedians who came before her 🙂
