About this episode

Lil Rel continues the laughs and insights as he delves into his remarkable journey in the comedy world by discussing the multiple “big breaks” he’s had in Hollywood. Lil Rel discusses the reality of doing ComicView in New Orleans right before Hurricane Katrina. Lil Rel goes on to talk about building friendships with comedy giants like Kevin Hart and Cedric the Entertainer and gives his top 5 current comedians of all time. He fearlessly addresses the generational gap in comedy, spills the tea on his beef with Katt Williams, and what it took to impress Keenen Ivory Wayans and secure a role on the In Living Color reboot. Lil Rel also explains why the reboot never made it to air. Lil Rel's deep bonds with Jerrod Carmichael and Tiffany Haddish take center stage, providing a glimpse into the positivity and camaraderie that fuels his success. He opens up about Hollywood's pay disparities for Black entertainers, his role in Jordan Peele's Get Out, and the unexpected turns in his career, from Free Guy with Ryan Reynolds to Bird Box with Sandra Bullock. With humor and candor, Lil Rel reflects on his personal life, from proposal antics at a Beyoncé concert to navigating the complexities of blended families. Don't miss this captivating continuation, filled with laughter, behind-the-scenes tales, and Lil Rel's unfiltered perspective on fame, friendship, and family dynamics.
