Last Call | King of Queens Star Gary Valentine Joins Steve Azar in Mississippi

Musician Steve Azar and actor/comedian Gary Valentine join Jake Coker and Mick Gillispie at the Delta Soul Golf Tournament in Greenville, Mississippi, for a conversation full of comedy, music, Southern culture, and giving back. Gary Valentine shares the hilarious story of how his mother secretly signed him up for his first open mic night, launching a career that eventually led to stand-up success and his memorable role on The King of Queens. He also explains the story behind his stage name and why “Valentine” stuck. Steve Azar discusses the mission behind the Delta Soul Golf Tournament, which raises money to support arts programs for children in the Mississippi Delta, and how returning home to Greenville helped inspire a new creative chapter in his music career. The group also talks about Southern hospitality, the cultural power of the Mississippi Delta, returning home after years in entertainment, upcoming projects, and a special look at Pearl River Resort with Jake Coker and Steve Azar.
