Which Black Comedian are you surprised didn't become more successful?

#1 reason these guys never broke up: just talking about ghetto topics.

White people (incl club bookers, talent scouts, producers) don't wanna hear that shit. They can't relate to shit they don't know. Watch Eddie in Delirious and Raw, or anything Pryor did in the 70s and 80s. That shit is universal.

Exactly what I was going to say! All the comics that were posted are funny to black audiences, but their humor wouldn't cross over.
Maybe Patrice O'Neal would have had the best shot because I have seen him kill it in predominantly white crowds.

"In February 2010, Doug spoke about the incident in an interview with LAist "I think a lot of people read more into it than it was. It was a roast, I'm not a roast-type of comedian. The situation just kind of caught me off-guard. I was new at the time. I was new to that environment. I was new to roasting. It's one of those things that happened and I'm better for it. It was a long time ago, I've learned a lot since then and I've come a long way since then." He added, "At that time, Jamie Foxx was an established well known comedian. Nobody knew who I was. It was a situation where no matter what happened, I wasn't going to get the best of him in that setting."​
