Mark Curry Reveals Michael Jackson's Oakland Alter-Ego, Gives Katt Williams His Flowers, and Warns Jay Walker to Upgrade His Studio Background + More

In this unfiltered and hilarious virtual sit-down, Jay Walker connects with comedy royalty, the legendary OG Mark Curry (Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, Showtime at the Apollo). What was supposed to be a standard interview quickly turns into an absolute masterclass in off-the-dome comedy as Mark immediately roasts Jay’s “starting kit” Rick Ross beard, his plain white T-shirt, and his lack of a proper studio background.Mark holds absolutely nothing back, diving into a wild, hysterical breakdown of what a Michael Jackson movie from Oakland would look like, complete with an appearance by a missing Bubbles the Chimp. He drops heavy gems on the shifting comedy landscape, explaining why he loves TikTok creators getting their money but warns the younger generation that relying entirely on ChatGPT is making their minds lazy.Things get deep when Mark opens up about his close bond with comedic mastermind Katt Williams, calling Katt his ultimate motivator and personal "consigliere" who always pushes him forward when the game gets heavy. Plus, Mark discusses the very real possibility of a Hangin' with Mr. Cooper reboot alongside Holly Robinson and Dawn Lewis, looks back on working with the late, great Charlie Murphy and John Witherspoon on Black Jesus, and tries to figure out how the hell to accept an Instagram co-collaboration invite.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
