Jamie Foxx Talks About The Infamous Emitt Smith Roast

[@blaynegreiner9365]

Dude just wasnt ready... And that's honeslty the bottom line... Dont go to a roast and not have jokes to tell. I mean its sad what happen BUT he knew what he was walking into...least u would had thought he did

[@josejeovaze4802]

Jamie even showed his teeth and made a dumb face, he was trying to help but Doug really took it personally, it shows when he said some people can't have money that they don't let anyone say nothing about them or some shit like that. Jamie stick his neck out for Doug to bite him and Doug just choked, so Jamie got frustrated and showed him how it's done.

[@renzo7503]

​@@aprilmaryland7128Exactly. Plus, in almost every celebrity roast I've seen, nobody is safe! Everybody can get joked on and they don't hold back, they're ruthless. You better have thick skin.

[@ComaAlpha]

Here's what makes someone like Jeff Ross so great. Yes, he'll have 30 to 45 minutes of material already ready on a sheet of paper in front of him, but if a heckler or comedian tries to derail him off his set he is witty enough, smart enough, and quick enough to go off the cuff and on the fly and bury them and still be able to transition smoothly back into his prewritten set. Doug didn't have those skills. At a comedy roast it's kill or die. Doug died.

If jokes were made, the person waited till it WAS their TURN TO SPEAK. An didnt drown the person that was speaking out. And there was nothing doug could do, Jamie had the loudest mic. It wasnt like a regular heckler in the audience. You say it happens. Show me one Roast where this has happened before. I'll show you plenty where the people talking were flat or unfunny or didn't get many laughs. EVERY host had he respect and professionalism to give them their time and didn't act like a common drunk heckler. The point was that Jamie took advantage of the fact he was the host with loudest mic He could have waited till Doug sat down like every other host during a roast. The people defending Jamie do not understand the true purpose of a roast. They do understand how long they have been going on far and how many hardcore legends have hosted them It's not just about being a jackass or being some immature high school brat.

[@jaquiezdouglas9394]

Bottom line, Jamie Foxx was just starting to come up in his career and want about to let a young upstart come in and clown him. So he went in on him. If you've seen the roast, the entire panel was A & B list celebs. So if any of them clowned Jamie it would've been understood as being all in fun because it was one of his peers (so to speak). However, Doug Williams was a low level comedian that wasn't really known at that time. So Jamie let it be known he wasn't gonna let a "Nobody" come up off him. Therefore he proceeded to destroy him. Now some may think he was funny and some may think he was being a dick, I won't dispute either or. But I will say this, for whatever reason Jamie did it, that's how it is in the industry. Someone is always coming for your spot so you gotta hold your own. If Doug had it he would've rose to the challenge and busted back at Jamie and proved that he deserved to be there and earned his spot. Unfortunately he didn't, perhaps proving that he didn't belong there at the time. But Doug has recovered and gone on to do some pretty big things, even hosting Martin Lawrence's 1st amendment comedy on Starz for 3 or 4 seasons. So the roast experience may have hurt him in the beginning but it also helped him down the line. So now whenever someone decides they want to challenge him, her can stand up and show them just who the fuck he is.

[@andrewbuckley127]

Jaquiez Douglas this is a great perspective on this whole situation. Unfortunately this type of thing as bad as it could be for a guy like Doug is just part of the game. It's a dog eat dog world

Well said Jamie and I are the same age now. I think Jamie today would have been more merciful.

it was personal. he kept interrupting.

Well, I don't agree that Doug Williams doesn't have any talent but I will agree that he was unprepared for the roast. At a roast you are supposed to write jokes about each person and be ready to say them and Doug clearly didn't do that. What Jamie did wasn't roasting it was heckling and it wasn't fair because hecklers don't get mics. Jamie wasn't allowing Doug to finish his thought or even have a chance to get the crowd on his side and that was bull. Comics don't heckle comics period.

Call me sensitive, but I thought Jamie was over the top here. I understand that it's comedy and you have to be thick skinned, but Doug was given no opportunity to redeem himself. He was spoken over the top of the entire time which really surpassed the line of funny and it turned into disrespect. Also, I would have classed Doug as very much a junior comedian with lesser status and less of an established presence so he already had to try harder than the rest of them. Jamie really did bully him all to make himself look good. Ya'll can call me a crying sensitive biznitch, but this really was a form of bullying where the strong preyed upon the weaker individual. Don't let your your being a fan blur what really went on here. I lost a bit of respect for Jamie after this.

[@belayzenica]

what oportunity boy, he had 2 minutes before jamie did anything he killed himself before any of that shit not 1 thing was even semi funny..jamie just finished him off n actually made that shit memorable ahaha...mfkr coulda laughed w it n turned it around instead he got all sencetive as a lil bitch n said the most lame shit ever as come back attempts that killed him even more n then did the "thank u" n got off the stage...he got roasted plain n simple...this aint no fighting its words u always have a chance to come back he coulda talked over jamie had he had any game whatsoever...

[@lavonrawls6432]

belay zenica Tru I would of aleast flip the cautious thing on Jamie bout how he chose to hit ll cool j on set n get an ass whoopin

[@SIDub14]

Not sensitive at all bro you’re right.

[@gasser5001]

love how he starts with 'they gotta take it, i dont care' yet he couldnt take it. man...im losing so much respect for this man.

[@runit191]

If y'all paid attention, Doug stated he was a better comedian than Jaime before the roast. He came for Jamie and Jamie picked the right moment to prove why he's in the position he's in. Doug couldn't handle it.

[@JamesACosby]

Arrogant. Oh, it was the liquor's fault. that's why he kept interrupting him, *repeating him* (like a 3rd grader), and otherwise attempting to humiliate him.

[@natedogg274]

its comedy dude, jeezz!!! check out how katt williams calls out jamie being gay, humiliating jamie.

[@pie015]

its called Roast...you cant take the heat dont show up

[@sovereignjohn3709]

Kd Dod Jamie Foxx didn't let Doug Williams do his thing. Its not the Doug Williams roast. Jamie Foxx must've been too afraid to let Doug Williams have his moment.

[@squakrock]

Jamie a bifch

[@csmit04]

Blame it on the alcohol

[@Ironclad6661]

Jamie knows he used his vastly overwhelming acting, improvisational comedy and MERC'd Doug lol. Doug had plenty of time and probably some amazing comedy writers to help him with his act but he came out and it wasn't happening. Doug to be fair is an outstanding comic. I've seen his stand up a few times and it's hilarious. Just wasn't his NIGHT that night.

[@dcaseng]

Doug Williams is a cautionary tale for comedians who show up unprepared.

[@TGreen89]

Her voice was so much softer back then.

[@glenncocomyspace]

you should read the backstory before you comment. before the show, Jamie actually tried to help out Doug (and others) with some advice but Doug shrugged him off and did his own thing.

[@themusicman2005]

So Jamie admits that Kevin Hart smashed his whole crew. That's cool

[@The_Real_Devil]

I think the first minute of this video does more to explain Jamie Foxx's behavior than his actual explanation. A detestable person. I'm not taking sides though. Williams is a terrible comedian.

[@ramsey2314]

Sounds like exactly the kind of guy that you would like... Devil.

[@drServitis]

SATAN RULES!

[@ThePantruca]

The Devil Being a bad comedian is besides the point. What Fox did was a low class. I seen better comedians like Robin Williams. Greg Giraldo and other great ones Never done what this egotistic asshole did to that guy.

[@steppababynupe]

Who came here from Glad tv

[@JamaicaSugar]

I clicked on this thinking it said Emmit TILL, but now I remember the Smith roast LOL

[@towsonualum]

Even Monique said 'get him Doug' and Jamie nodded like 'come at me'. They expected it to be like a back and forth each taking digs and the crowd loving it. But like he said, Doug wasn't prepared to do anything but read his 'jokes'.

[@cremdeniro237]

It was gold pure gold when jamie clowned doug

[@TyLockton]

lol agreed, there is a real insult comedy culture between comedians to begin with, but a roast is truely open season, the non comedian celebs who are invited to the dais are fully warned ahead of time, they know they will get ripped on and are expecting it. Watch the bob saget roast, the more insulting the insults, the harder he laughs. Roasting has a long established history of having no limits, even auduence members know that they can be a target. To bad you complainers only have this to watch

[@sosuper7]

Laughing hysterically,that Jamie is bananas.

[@OmarScruggs]

Before Me Too movement. Boy things have changed

[@TrunxKraft3000]

DUDE!!! I thought of that too when he said “i hit that”! I was like.... “wait.. what year was this video recorded??!” Lol 2009.

[@shakurd9014]

I thought he was talking about the guy from the Redskins

[@kobeanderson6718]

Jamie got to be able to perfectly deliver some funny as hell punchlines the jokes that we’re going nowhere

[@Manofpeasable]

Jamie is a pro. People think it's easy. This shows how un-easy it can be.

[@TheFreshSuperior]

Truly an all-time moment in comedic history

[@standupG1]

As a stand-up comedian, I feel for the guy. Jamie Foxx could have showed some class and at the same time, Doug should have been ready. When you perform on a big stage, you got to be ready!! If you aren't ready, don't perform, or perform in a smaller venue.

[@lew708]

That wasn't no alcohol! Jaimie burned him for coming at him about his acting! ...THAT...SHIT...WAS ...BRUTAL!!!!

[@EricMcBride323]

Love how Jaime gave Kevin Hart props for ripping his whole team apart in their interview. Cool that Jaime keeps it a hundred!

[@AYCHMENG]

Ahahaha Jaime was an asshole for that i hate it and love it at the sametime damn R.I.P. doug

[@marshbey]

+AYCHMENG If doug wasnt ready to play with the big dogs he didnt have no business out there.

[@dopedrums]

"Blame it on the a a a-a.. " 😅

[@Men35960]

Lmao I forgot that was his song

[@dasandman6981]

Jamie's right. Doug should've been prepared to lay into Jamie when he started that shit. But Jamie was just a funnier dude.

[@andyt2k]

To be fair Jamie you dumped all over that guy, if it's not going well, just let him do his thing, you don't have to ruin him for it

[@mgiddens1000]

it was funny the first few jokes but he got ridiculous and unprofessional

[@mrshuxley1024]

Unprofessional? Professionalism is not required during a roast.

[@luvthick]

+Mrs Huxley - Thank You!

[@mrshuxley1024]

+luvthick No problem. Lol! 😊

[@buddyjesus7542]

+Maurice Giddens lol have you seen any of the roasts they go in on whatever is fucking possible. Theirs no professionalism involved. Doug was just unfunny and jamie foxx jumped in on it.

[@mgiddens1000]

Buddyjesus u must understand Doug was pretty much a no namer and Jammie was and still is well known, im just saying why smash someone who hasn't made it yet

[@catallguy43]

No, he clearly entertained the comedians and audience there. Everybody laughed! If you look at that panel, they were all throughly laughing. Doug should have rolled with it - he took it personally and lost because of it.

[@lukata77]

Man Doug Williams was one of my favorite comedians, the fact that Jamie roasted him doesn't change my mind.

[@blaynegreiner9365]

He is funny, but he was not prepared that night and it showed. You do not go into a roast ill-prepared.

[@tjtoonz]

jamie is funny as hell.

[@Cameraboy12144]

I just watched this shit yesterday Holy fuck this shit was so funny 😂

[@Mutzie]

Jamie this is your conscience speaking YOU HAD A STROKE. Karma from digging Doug Williams. You had a stroke.
