Mike Epps reminds me of that guy in your class that never took school seriously, but; could have been valedictorian if he wanted to. He was just more focused on making people laugh by being himself.
So true when he speaks you can tell he know how to hold very in intellectual conversation. Just be sure he doesn’t do it all the time. Doesn’t make it any less smarts me somehow our so society thinks if you like to speak slang during your down time. That makes you automatically uneducated
@@brendentyler5228 Dude has a gift. He’s blessed with intelligence and a sense of humor. You have to be smart to know what’s going to make people laugh. Anybody can just be silly, but; that’s not funny.
Mike Epps one of my favorites but he was in special education growing up
@@beedeepee9418 I heard that, too. He said it himself. I don’t think that means he’s stupid. For example, look at all the highly successful people that are dyslexic. Dave, the founder of Wendy’s was dyslexic.
@@beedeepee9418 Being neurodivergent doesn’t equal unintelligent. It has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
Mike Epps is naturally and effortlessly hilarious 😂.
He really is - just goofy!!! 😂😂😂
"My auntie's have been wanting to uh.. get them some." 🤣

Jonny Carson the best!!!!!!!
I'm just waiting for the NBA All Star Celebrity Game episode with Guillermo

The Hood Comedian for the Streets!!! NapTown Stand Up!!!
I think having six daughters, you need to have quite a sense of humor.
❤😂😂
🗣️🤣🤣😂
😂😂😂
Yo Jimmy I know your a Dodgers fan probably.....and that's okay.....your still cool but if you haven't interviewed Mike Trout or Shohei Ohtani please try to do so before the season starts. Maybe have another day where you have F Freeman and M Betts but please have an interview with Mike and Shohei, especially Shohei as it might be has last season with the Angels. I really feel Ohtani deserves an interview, I mean when's the next time you can have a guy who chased Nolan Ryans record last season and was the only other player since Babe Ruth to have a season like 2022
🙏🏿
What about his madam web role?
It was drug money 😂😂😂😂
Hope Kimmel will mention the slap next month during the Oscars
The sandman (Howard Sims) died in 2003
🤣🤣🤣🤣
A grown man fight
Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Scary how they're laughing at the sand man being there 😳
I don't think they understood how disrespectful that was
