Isiah Carey Opens Up About His Viral TV Hosting Moment - On The 7 With Dr. Sean

[@cocomcb]

The video is hilarious, yes, but did we ever find out what really happened on that Thursday at Augusta High School to Chris Woods? 🤔

[@skeet1tymer]

He was killed at a track meet.It wasn't in Little Rock. Augusta is a small town (pop. around 3000) about 60 miles north of Little Rock.

[@Msfruity44]

cocomcb unfortunately This video is bittersweet because that’s my sons name. So it’s hard to hear. When I first heard the video I thought it was a bad joke, because of that. Aside from that he’s very talented.

[@HI-DEF100]

[@jesstrustgod477]

Such a classic video. I laughed just as hard each time I see it as if it was the first time. I didn’t know how well spoken, educated, and successful he was. Many Blessings!!

[@alanguages]

If the video could ever get into some sort of Hall Of Fame, it is well deserved.

[@craigjonesISno.1]

You're cute!

[@megabugginout]

Don’t let the bugs come though

[@Num1MarioFan]

the version in Super Bad Mario episode 1 is just as funny lol.

[@pinkoctober4113]

But he had to have already been all of those things to be doing what he was doing to start with. And he was articulating himself VERY well before that bug went throat diving. Lol

[@sharenee7428]

I saw this video back around 2008 and it’s still hilarious. I had literal tears 😭 the first time I saw it!

The same exact time I watched it. My senior year of HS. I had just come from Africa in 2006. I was rolling in tears, and the teacher found out what it was 😅

If a thesaurus had a great conversation with a encyclopedia this would be it. Two strong eloquent brothers with knowledge in the community. We need more leaders like these men. 50 percent church is right. May GOD bless these men.

[@TheREALExposingtheJoyofS-px3ri]

Funny that you bring up the thesaurus, because I'm wondering what kind of "saurus" Isiah evolved from...

[@HipHipHooray1111]

Beautiful sentiment, beautifully stated.

[@girl-aus-jamrock]

Wow! His backstory is so inspiring! That clip was hilarious but he’s gained my respect. That man worked to where he is today.

[@thedeviouspanda]

I quote that video all these years later lol. When some bugs come at my face and it's hot out and I'm done, it speaks to my soul 🤣

Isiah Carey is what makes the internet great and undefeated! He is a true legend.

It's been so many years, I still can't watch it without laughing to tears.

[@sunnidavis195]

I remember Isaiah from his days here in Little Rock as a reporter for KARK4 and several years after he'd left I randomly ran across that clip and about laughed myself right off my chair! I'm glad to have randomly run across this video and see how many great things he's doing! He was an exceptional reporter and always seemed a cut above the rest, which makes so much sense given how he spent all those years going to the station after school.

[@athenavan2242]

Thanks for info I am from Central Arkansas and never knew he was from here! Thank you!!

[@GeronFletcher]

Man they really gave him a huuuuge opportunity as a child he literally grew up in the business

[@raycorey]

That’s amazing to hear from him. He was properly schooled in the business.

[@seanneedham7245]

I think his point is that small windows can open up big chances. Most people wouldn’t look at something that happened when they were 5 as a real opportunity but he worked at it and made it into a career. It’s all what you make it

[@Tess_Book]

I watch this clip every now and then because it’s hilarious! I’m glad I found this interview. I love you Isiah! You’re hilarious and a beautiful gem 💎 😘
