In related news, as one of the original Kings of Comedy, Cedric knows what it means to bomb a show, and in a recent interview with Baller Alert, he opens up about his worst stand-up experience.

“The worst one I’ve ever had, it was actually in New York, but it was more of a corporate situation, it wasn’t a stand up a situation,” Cedric revealed. “I thought I had to change who I was because I was performing for these people, and I bombed. Then Steve Harvey went on stage and cussed everybody out, and they were dying, and I was like ‘Well, shit I didn’t know you could even do that.’”

“From then, it was just one of them moments where you learn, just be yourself on stage. Don’t worry about it.”

He also opened up about the current politically correct state of comedy.

“Most comedians they really just don’t worry about it,” Cedric said. “They just try to say what’s authentically funny to them and then if they feel if anybody close to you, kinda lets you know you’re over the line, that’s when you kind of tweak the joke…try to make it less.”

“But most comedians at every level that I know, they just write what they’re thinking,” he added. “Cause that’s the best joke, you gotta be honest and then you have to decide like ‘Okay, will this get me in trouble.’ Then you decide how to tweak it, but not beforehand.”

When it comes to the amount it would take to make him hang up his mic for good: $400-500 million.
