Tommy Davidson is such an ALL TIME GREAT of comedy. Each and every time he comes out, stand up or on live shows (Living Colour), he would ad lib or do something to bring the house down. When you see Davidson make other comedians lose their composure on live shows or tv, you know you're seeing something special. So happy to see him getting interviewed and appreciated.
The line in How to Be a Player has been in my head since I heard it as a little kid. Any time in my entire life I see a woman w jacked up feet, my minds voice says, "You catchin Salmon going upstream w demz eagles claws??"
This is a cool story Tommy had to follow Richard Pryor at The Comedy Store and I had to follow Tommy Davidson years later at Flappers Comedy Club. I was so fired up and excited it was a great show that night. It was such an honor to share the stage with Tommy that night I was the host but there's more details to the story.
TD reference comparisons of himself are artwork in themselves... this dude is different... hope he can get one last good run in his career he deserves it!!!!
Everyone might not get this but almost every GROWN up that references comic book superheroes to describe so many pivotal moments in their lives has typically gone through some traumatic shit and they looked to these larger than life heroes to aspire to be like in order to escape and survive horrible things
I was stationed in DC at Andrews AFB, MD from Sept 1981-May 83 when Tommy, Dave and Martin were in high school and getting their starts in the business. Sinbad and Earthquake (from DC) were in the USAF at the same time that I was serving, until they decided to leave for the comedy circuit.
Tommy is “funny as shit”. That’s a DMV slang. He is naturally a funny kat Hopefully one day he may tell you some stories about working in the cafeteria at the Bethesda naval hospital in Bethesda Maryland. Raw talent. Proud of your boy
Damn TOMMY DAVIDSON got tutored by the best. To perform with EDDIE AND RICHARD, SHESHHHHHH!!! I love those comic book references TOMMY!! He know his ish 😂😂
He did this stand up comedy special for Comedy Central in the mid to late nineties where he talked about white people not being able to dance. That shit had to be one of the funniest routines I’ve ever seen in comedy. Lmao.
I have been trying to find Tommy's stand up special he did that i remember seeing on Showtime as a kid. It was called "on the strength in nyc" there's a really bad short copy on youtube but you cant find it online to purchase. It was hilarious. I can only imagine seeing footage of the shows hes talking about at the end when he went on between Eddie and Richard.
When someone mentions bad strip clubs , why does vlad alway go to “ chicks with bullet holes , no babysitter” Instead of saying “trailer trash chicks cracked out with missing teeth “
When Tom mentions the movie that he had did with Dave 1:55 vLad is so arrogant and inconsiderate and money hungry, he bluntly stops Tom from delivering, because he wants this story to play out how vLad wants the story to play out! With his mind on the money and the money on his mind.
Vlad didn't even know Eddie was already a mega Hollywood star ⭐ at that point. I believe he said this like 88 and Eddie had already been on Saturday night live and doing movies since at least 82 with 48hrs
I know what he’s talking about cuz Billy Crystal had all them on his show I think it was hosted by HBO & Pepsi I was a little boy but I definitely remember cuz they was the big leagues on HBO

His character when he was on Martin was hilarious!!!
Varnell Hill- “did ya miss meeee” 😂🤣
@@staxxafool5666 The catfish are delicious. Lol
That does say a lot to be on a ticket with Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy back then this guy is criminally underated
I think so too.. so funny.
Absolutely
That's comparable to Bone Thugs doing songs with Eazy, Pac, & Big! Can't no other mafuggers stake those claims!!!

Tommy is a master storyteller!
Tommy is the man!! He’s an analogy for EVERYTHING!!

That's one helluva ticket. Tommy, Eddie, and Richard. How in the fuck you don't die of laughter, a show with them 3 dudes
Tommy Davidson is the sh*t. His bit for the 2009 NBA all star weekend is the funniest 15 minute set you'll ever see. Trust me
She be pouring them dranks! Lol

@@zenassolomon noooooo I feel like we would all love to see vlad fulfill his stand-up dreams for that exact reason
Tommy Davidson on the "Shaq All Star Comedy Special" was special. I go back every now and then to get a good laugh😂
That's one of the best stand up specials ever! The Spanish TV show part has me in tears every time 🤣
@@KingJRZJ "Sabado Gigante!!!!"
I still remember the stand up when Tommy did the Sugar Crisp joke
I was in tears the whole stand up
TD reference comparisons of himself are artwork in themselves... this dude is different... hope he can get one last good run in his career he deserves it!!!!
Tommy definitely is the first person to ever utter “Billy Crystal in this bitch”. Lmao
I love his confidence. You have to have that to be successful at anything. He's not over the top, but he deeply believes in himself.
Damn vlad let the comedian do the comedy 🥴
Exactly it never works but he keeps trying
Right😂😂😂😂 No lie that whole "Got your kids on stage with them" thing made me a lil angry coming out his mouth lmaoooo
Vlad just can't STFU and kills his interviews
Exactly. I was like, Vlad, be quiet.
Facts
I grow up watching him and I love everything he ever did and plus he always have me laughing hard on the ground thank you Tommy
The way Tommy broke it down with the Jordan concept was dope
Total nostalgia listening to this guest! Broke back many great memories. I love Tommy!
“Broke back”??? What type of Mountain are you living on
@@kevindube7096 brought back*
@@kevindube7096 🤣🤣🤣 my mind went str8 to mountain aft reading "broke back"
When Vlad starts telling jokes 😮💨
Why was that Michael Jordan metaphor at the end so dope! I could visualize all of it.
Tommy Davidson got a master's class in doing stand up next to Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor you can definitely read the room with those 2.
Cool! Tommy Davidson is OBVIOUSLY a huge comic book enthusiast, with all of his comic book analogies in this interview, lol. Love it! :D
"Let Bruce get at his ass." The one fight we wanted but never got. It's amazing how many people's career has intersected.
Tommy Davidson struggle and hard work pay off !
Everyone might not get this but almost every GROWN up that references comic book superheroes to describe so many pivotal moments in their lives has typically gone through some traumatic shit and they looked to these larger than life heroes to aspire to be like in order to escape and survive horrible things

Love him and David Allen Grier on In Living Color. You know I'm fresh out Howard Bam!
Vlad kinda talkin down on my guy. Tommy Davidson could rock a crowd with the best of em standup wise back then.

That shit was powerful what tommy davidson just said if you caught. I know i can relate and i just realized it salute my dude
“Trudaaaaaaaay😩”
Damn....What a story! He was hanging with all the legends and future legends. He said "oh man Billy Crystal in this bit*h"...That was hilarious
If Eddie and Richard are Kobe and Jordan. Then Tommy is definitely Allen Iverson. Hall of Fame in comedy.
So Dave is Lebron?
@@doncardi8699 I can definitely buy that!
@@kdub4318 in a way I could also buy Martin as Allen Iverson too
@@leelohaskin7941 great point! Gotta put Tommy as Dwade then.
His analogies got me weak
Damn TOMMY DAVIDSON got tutored by the best. To perform with EDDIE AND RICHARD, SHESHHHHHH!!!
I love those comic book references TOMMY!! He know his ish 😂😂
I like the way he broke down the trajectory of MJ’s career in 5 seconds. Wow
Tommy Davidson is a Real One 💯💯👊🏾
Varnell Hill.. Baby... Did u miss me? 🤣
This man's a LEGEND!
Really great interview and I love how he uses the his metaphors!!! I was like Jordan.. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I will say it again Tommy is one of the top cats in the game right now and he hasn't even reached his Peak yet
Damn, ihe looks exactly the same as he did on In Living Color😄
Love this guy since I was a kid, probably 8-10 watching in living color in 91-93? I think?

Timmy Ggz Tv one of the greatest of all time this guy a legend for real
Tommy looks great!

Dam! On the bill with Eddie and pryor!
Great content
He low key nailed Jordan’s early evolution
When someone mentions bad strip clubs , why does vlad alway go to “ chicks with bullet holes , no babysitter”
Instead of saying “trailer trash chicks cracked out with missing teeth “
Michael Keaton? Never new that.
When Tom mentions the movie that he had did with Dave 1:55 vLad is so arrogant and inconsiderate and money hungry, he bluntly stops Tom from delivering, because he wants this story to play out how vLad wants the story to play out! With his mind on the money and the money on his mind.
Tommy davidson got martin ready remember that before the fame
AMAZING 💯💯💯
