Deon Cole on Writing for Conan, Black Comedy vs White Comedy

[@niknikky]

"They want a black face, but they never want a black voice." That's real right there.

[@hammondcheesa-angwich6009]

Remember what he said ... “EVERY audition i’ve ever done i have never gotten”

[@tiffanyjade5898]

i like Conan even more after this interview

[@dspiffy]

[@juswolf22]

Damn I remember when Deon use to pull that notepad out and try his joke on the crowd Bruh really been grinding

[@tmason995]

lol I remember that too. if the jokes weren't funny he would scratch them off.

[@let6me1gun7it]

them comic view days

[@GrantPatN]

I always thought him using the notepad up there was actually a joke in itself when I watched his standup back then

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

Yes! Back in the Comicview days. I remember that Tiger Woods joke killed me lol

[@borderlessmediums690]

+PickeKid it was original, even on a bad joke he got a laugh

[@stevedavis9497]

This was a cool story shouts out to deon and big respect to conan.....

[@azrael80304]

that one dislike must be from the guy who brought Pringles to a rap concert lmao

[@bigbennnii]

lol

[@POTUS495]

Make that 32 pringlers

[@DESTRO350]

My favorite thing about Deon Cole is that he never tried to fit into any lane, he just did what he thought was funny and it works for him.

[@realkoryheard]

Great interview you can tell Deon Cole is a natural comedian.

[@Port194]

It's cool how 2 people completely unrelated to him had such an impact on his life

[@edupbeat]

Real talk! That's what I got out the whole interview. Those people changed his life! It really shows you the stars kinda have to be align.

[@klebeau4]

one of the best interviews without vlad.

[@GrantPatN]

Vlad is a cop

[@TheSupremeDunk]

Yea...this was very interesting...I like her, she doesnt make the interview about her....also she makes them feel comfortable enough to let loose

[@vernellthomas6644]

+Jerome Beck I hate when Vlad brags on his stock in Nike! Like yeah me and Busta go way back......we don't care about that material shyt! Just interview with a sprinkle of whatever wit you have

[@ellissmith23]

her voice lowkey sexy asf I wonder what she look like

[@354allday]

+E 23 females always sound sexy when you don't see them especially on the phone

[@TruckaBrotha12]

When Deon was talkn about how the consession drinks splash everywhere when thrown at you!!! I waa in Tears!!!! 😂😂😂

[@Matt_Sorensen]

I've always liked Deon Cole when I've seen his comedy, but I've never seen an interview with him like this. Really cool to hear his perspective and his experience in show business. Good on the interviewer for asking the real questions.

[@thryce82]

i literally just lost my job for this corona bs. i turn this on and it gave me a laugh. i really appreciate how down to earth this guy is and how things just are what they are. if i ever see deon cole out in the wild ill definitely being giving him a high five cheers yall

[@calisongbird]

I lost my job too, but COVID is not BS

[@tuneitout]

this was a hilarious interview. much respect to deon cole! natural comedian!

[@77Creation]

Large up Deon, big up Conan and Andy and especially the secretary and IT brother and sister for believing in and pushing the brother to do his thing. 🫡🫡🫡

[@Godlymike]

Deon will always be funny to me

[@GRiZZiNK]

bitch don't put that pressure on me I'm bout 2 quit.....😂😂😂.....imma use that line next time i pull out.

[@jimmywatts8219]

GrizzINK 😂😂😂

[@afrosymphony8207]

ahahahah

[@michaelbrooks3207]

He's hilarious on Blackish

[@marctouss1862]

charlie is a damn fool!.. more charlie!!..

[@dewaynem6618]

Not sure why I'm just seeing this but this was one of the best interviews on vlad. I was rollin when he talked about the other to black people that worked on Conan

[@afrosymphony8207]

always fucking loved CONAN!!!!!

[@scorzamania]

I love Deon Cole. I wish there was more content with him

[@michaelrafales2782]

So many gems in this interview. And so funny too.

[@nebula7618]

Deon Cole underrated and real 👑

[@producersco]

happy for my cousin Deon Cole

[@BlkHunterGatherer]

The way that he told stories in this interview is similar to how he tells them on-stage and as such, they were a little funny and very entertaining. I think that I remember him using the bit about the secretary and the IT guy in one of his stand ups. I love that kinda comedy and I think it’s a trait of a naturally skilled comic. They don’t need cartoonish antics. They can just talk to the audience like two friends talking over cold beer at a bar and their story, their expressions, their tone, and everything seems so organic and ordinary but also hilarious.

[@MustafaAhmadahmadmawia]

This was good keep grinding you inspire me

[@Michasha9]

His office story, fantastic.

[@Realprisoncostories]

Deon so real

[@vernellthomas6644]

I like this cats style. He's naturally funny. Great interview by this woman

[@broadwaybiz211]

deon cole is a great comedian

[@wertytrewqa]

Conan is the fuking man

[@seanprem4753]

This interviewer has a bangin ass voice...

[@dashortgamer]

What a dope interview

[@MrGanjaBandits]

"the TI guy walks in" lmaoo

[@dnicesometimes]

Great interview.

[@jordanfreytag893]

One of the funniest men alive!

[@liqsor]

Deon Cole is hilarious as always.

[@jdillabumps]

From comic view to the big times. Do your thing son, Deon cole brought something to the table that no other comedian could. We don't need to lable comedy because a laugh is a laugh.

[@play2k]

The T.I guy came in and gave me a new password

[@juratchet]

Did he say T.I instead of I.T?? I didn't even notice haha

[@A_team-l5g]

T.I?!!! Oh dumbass nigga here! SMDH

[@glodaleo9785]

SLAVEY... ti guy?? lmaooo he is too funny!!

[@YakThaWiseman72]

Lmao yeah I was like ain't it's IT Guy

[@dalailion3912]

Her giggle though

[@crispyflix]

Deon Chicago asfff with that “Chosen Few Picnic” shirt on.. some of y’all know

[@K20civicsirturbo]

This man was raised by a single mother, u can tell

[@malnotmal6084]

True

[@malnotmal6084]

Feminine vibe

[@malnotmal6084]

I'm somewhat sensitive especially to vibes and am also a deep thinker. And I never said it was anything wrong with it... But he has a bit of a feminine vibe. It's not overly drastic but yes

[@malnotmal6084]

Lol How old are you... If hes not gay then he will say i not or i am. End of story.. all this hypersensitivity about stating opinion has to stop. We just made an observation. You can agree or disagree and move on. Im not going to sit here and point out every time in the interviews his tone of voice or hand movements are feminine.

[@Cloud-bw4xe]

+m larry I completely agree. He cool, but you can tell just with some of the little mannerisms he does. That little "Ooo that's my jam moment" when he was talking about getting to open for JaRule was a tell tell sign. A man raised in a house with a strong father in it wouldn't being doing that lil extra ish

[@ArtbyAtlas]

"No, nigga don't do this!!" "Shut the fuck up!"

[@Eazzy1974]

"I dont know why she got all slavey" LMAO

[@chrisz5z]

Never even heard bout this guy, gonna have to check out some of his stand up

[@illdaniel]

His new standup special is effing hilarious.

[@PowerPuffGurl86]

He said, "I don't know why she got all slavey" 😂😂😂

[@itsrheachelle]

ON THE FLOOR lmaooo

[@edupbeat]

I want that t-shirt. That's a known festival here in Chicago every summer celebrating house/dance music.

[@Nonchalant_248]

@edupbeat oh really? I bet the music is hot. Chicago is known for good house music.

[@ness1766]

"we want where will I be without my baby nigga" 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@slimboyd]

Great interview

[@deesplayworldtv]

2:02 lover her laugh...'golf balls'.

[@CradleEpiscopalian56]

@9:03, "I don't know why she got all SLAVIE and shit..." I can't stop laughing bcs I'M THAT GIRL! LOL...LOL..

[@MrMajid070]

He said "Slavey"..lol!!

[@slewis8338]

I respect people who put others in the position to do great and even greater things than themselves! We all can live and equally enjoy life but some are just hoarders...

[@ctnative203]

Lol coat hangers the good ones with the clips lmao

[@colanthonyhumphrey4862]

This is awesome.

[@MgReY-yq1dh]

He is funny as hell on Blackish!!!!😂😂😂

[@ludmillagutomo]

the IT guy is chris who was in one of the remotes when conan went to taco bell with him..

[@Nicolyboo]

This really touched and inspired me. Wow.

[@neelo1231]

08:00 - 10:00 CLASSIC!!! Funny as hell

[@jeso317]

it's always a good interview when Vlad isn't in the interview talking about himself

[@irockline]

All great comedians are superb storytellers. Lol

[@Lamtitude]

Drink exploded like a grenade when it hit him. Lmao

[@axman3128]

cool dude,I like his vibe

[@broadwaybiz211]

excellent interview

[@hueyx791]

"Do that shit elsewhere nigga"

[@LMICUK]

the ja rule part 😂😂😂 gold

[@jctai100]

Was the IT guy Pierre Bernard??? omg he really was comfortable and furious!!!

[@virus2003]

Great interview.

[@kobe5701]

great interview without detective vlad! Became a fan of deon cole after seeing this

[@buddylove3724]

Vlad need to put some respek on Deon Coles name...giving the job to the intern

[@15heartz]

You better make us proud

[@GeneralJLC]

Ja had hits

[@daryllneuburger4946]

Conan seem like cool ass dude very open minded good to hear that

[@OmarScruggs]

i see she doesnt know that comics have been opening up for all types of musical acts for a long long time. its nothing new at all

[@appointedvillainy]

Exactly, I'm thinking _'WTF is she talking about?'_ I've seen comedians open for concerts plenty of times. She must not get out much.

[@OmarScruggs]

***** or gets to shows after the comic

[@cedvon4831]

I think that's pretty good guy

[@Drediggy]

I used to love when he pulled out that paper or notebook to check off his jokes and shit lol. That bit was funny I just kinda wish he was chuncky again tho I feel like that's why he worked lol

[@jonsamuels9245]

9:05 the next day the “T.I. Guy” can in there......🤣 T.I.? The I.T. Guy probably! 🤣

[@younglord9962]

Funny ass dude!!! Without trying

[@bucckjones6420]

Love this dude

[@jaybillz851]

Great insight

[@agthaog1986]

i can sorta see why conan chose him...like they both are sorta like random kinda dudes u know. there comedy is sorta organic and not over saturated or overally done. sorta like will farrell and bernie mac...although bernie was 1 and a million i must say

[@KARNAK47]

Well brother Deon shouldn't feel too bad. Because if I'm not mistaken that's when Ja Rule was beat down after the concert. And some local guys from hallville took his chain and parade it all over the city of Indianapolis. I think he even had in one of his songs a passage about Indianapolis ain't shitt. LOL LOL LOL

[@ShiDanaB]

"She got all Slavey on me" LOL

[@kawannbrown6295]

Lmfaoooo this shit funny asf

[@Mister_Byron562]

right after the part when he said "black people always look around when they about to say something racist" the rest had me dyin lol

[@bowlofrice1006]

The notion that there's white comedy and black comedy to me seems sad. Because everyone laughs at situational things, it's not a racial thing. It only becomes racial when you laugh at experiences only had by a specific group but if another person from another group had those experiences & the audience related to them, they'd laugh at them too. Either way, I used to watch Deon Coles show when it was on. I didn't agree with everything he said but his perspective was interesting enough to listen to. Good Guy.

[@Dretube523]

It's not so much the content but the delivery. black comics sound like there just shootin the shit. White comics sound like their reading cue cards. Bill burr is the only white comic who doesn't do that.

[@kn00tcn]

@@Dretube523 the ONLY? mitch hedberg is an obvious other

[@Dretube523]

@@kn00tcn havent seen him. will check him out.

[@bern9642]

I think you're talking bullshit. There are many different cultures in the world. From china, to Africa, to the united states. What you notice is that with each culture, humor & experiences is different. It's the same with comedy, black american comedy will be different to white american comedy. Even asian american comedy such as chinese american or korean american comedy has a different feel. Ex. A Korean american comic is more likely to talk about parents who feel their kids to must become doctors. And other expectations that aren't popular among white or black audience. So there is definitely comedy based on culture shared by different demographics. White and black comedy is real and there is nothing racist or bad about it. Acknowledging and celebrating what makes us different is the most anti-racist thing you can do.

[@jaymiles81]

"Right now we want.. 'Where will I be wit out my baby' nigga."

[@Schmoopies]

patrice o'neal came up with the term 'slavey' hahaha

[@Pjiggy]

My feeling is Black people are funnier than white people in general. Adversity creates a sense of humor. There are are funny White comedians but far fewer than funny Black comedians. And it's not for lack of comics!

[@sirranrap815flowmaster7]

ITZ MOS DEF AIN'T NOBODY ELSE LIKE MOS DEF 😨

[@TheMagnanimousMany]

Vlad interviews a lot of young, ignorant guys who don't seem to know much outside of their realm. Cole seems so much more complex and interesting than many of the rappers and entertainers he's been interviewing recently.

[@tysonbigslyce752]

vlad is my man but he always titles some white vs black titles.

[@Alexz_Archivz]

Wooden hangers... DIED!!!!!!!

[@cutup260]

Indianapolis can get real at times with shows. I saw a fight during a Bone Thugs show (all white people by the way).

[@bert1913]

Am not a gay man, butt I love Deon

[@shooguy8792]

concession stand drinks😂😂😂

[@OBrayant]

I think we all can agree that black comedy is funnier than white comedy

[@let6me1gun7it]

naw. the both funny just different. louie ck bill burr is hilarious

[@GrantPatN]

That's way to vague. Comedy is comedy different things make different people laugh

[@GrantPatN]

+PickeKid But some things make everyone laugh

+let6me1gun7it for the most part but it's always an exception because not many white comics gave me that cramp in my rib but their are a few out their
