Deon Cole: Making $100/Day, Robbing People & Selling Weed to Buy Weed
Ойын-сауық
Deon Cole, who is known for his roles on Black-ish, Angie Tribecca, and more, spoke to VladTV about getting into comedy and the turning point of learning that he wanted to go into the writing side of the industry.
The Chicago native started out speaking about his upbringing, as he moved from the South Side of Chicago to the suburbs, which he said was worse. Deon explained that he got into a lot more fights after he moved, because he encountered racism, even from other Black kids.
During the conversation Deon also revealed it was a $50 bet from a friend that got him into comedy, which led to him being on Def Comedy Jam. While he got recognition from Bernie Mac, which Deon said helped kick-start his career, Deon said he wasn't prepared for the 25 minute sets he had to perform while on tour. After he claims he bombed on set every night, Deon said he was let go from the tour.
To hear more of what Deon had to say, including new projects he's working on, hit the above clip.

Yep, with that whole Def Jam situation, that's how life works. Sometimes you need to take an L that's painful enough that it jolts you to your senses and makes you realize you gotta do better.

Very attractive - a distraction but he's funny as Hell.
he was in every barbershop movie.
My question is when Dion was asked about his up bringing he started with his experience in the crack era and gang violent neighborhood,then his experience in the suburb and the racism he faced. The interviewer some how insinuated Dion did something to bring that racism to himself,she said whats your nationality Dion paused like huh and I paused like huh,then she said did you clown them,im like what in the hell! Do you need to do something to somehow bring racism to yourself ill answer hell no.If your racist that alone is the initiation of committing racism.If your pissed with someone for doing something to you make that personal to that person not the race duh!
I tell people all the time, black folks struggle in the burbs too with racism. I dealt with it sadly and a token black too.
I support this guy he's good
I'll dvr the hour special we got too many fights this weekend .
Been watching this dude for a long ass time, check out his Tiger Woods skit lmao

Lol @ the interviewer being unfamiliar with the insult "go back to Africa". She's like "oh, what's your nationality?", clearly sort of confusing Deon for a split second.
