*Shannon Sharpe has responded to the Saturday Night Live spoof of his now-infamous Katt Williams interview.
“I can’t believe Saturday Night Live fooled ya boy, Ocho. The dude had a brown tracksuit on just like I had,” Sharpe told his Nightcap co-host, Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, in the clip above.
“You famous now, man,” Johnson responded. “You know what’s the next step after Saturday Night Live? You might be hosting the Oscars.”
The SNL parody features Ego Nwodim as Williams and Devon Walker as Sharpe — watch it via the YouTube clip below.
Sharpe recently hit up Twitter to highlight the numbers from the January 3rd interview with Katt on his Club Shay Shay podcast (watch it here in case you missed it). He captioned the post with a direct quote from Katt, who said at the top of their conversation: “Club Shay Shay is going to be in a dimension it’s never been. The greatest thing floating in 2024. Mark the words. In a whole different realm of business. Oprah coming next! Once I establish this as a place of truth, oh yeah. Watch! God’s people ain’t that few.”
As it turns out, Katt was right, as his bombshell interview garnered over 46 million views in 10 days across social media and over a million audio downloads. Sharpe’s social media following also significantly increased due to “The Katt Williams Effect.”
During the conversation, Williams slammed several Black comedians and entertainers, such as Steve Harvey, Rickey Smiley Cedric the Entertainer, and Kevin Hart, who he called an “industry plant.”
“In fifteen years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show, there being a line for him, [him] ever getting a standing ovation at any comedy club,” Williams told Sharpe.
