David Allen Grier trained in Shakespeare at Yale University, where he received an MFA from the Yale School of Drama🧠. In a world filled with ppl claiming to be one of the greats, David truly is! The difference between him and a lot of the other comics is he doesn't have to boast and brag! He doesn't walk around calling himself a goat of comedy because he knows he is💡. His comedic range flows easily from slap-stick, to spoken word, to stand-up and bounces right back to silver screen acting! With that being said, we salute you Mr. Grier, truly a goat of comedy!!
@anthonytaylor7928 well my good not sure about the ppl that your talking about, I just stated my opinion, I know that he is funny in every project that he's involved in and you and I both know that he's not mentioned in that regard, that's why I say he's underrated 😉
Listen to him tell jokes all i can see is brand new sketches popping up in my head. TV needs this type of genius comedy writing. That bit about him passing the drink to Charlamagne and asking him who he wants to slap, that's the type of writing that we need to bring back NOW.
It was a pleasure to watch this interview. I love David Alan Grier's poise and intellect. He answered every question and paused when he needed to. He's a wealth of knowledge. I'm also glad that Envy wasn’t there because we needed to hear David's perspectivein peace.
DAG is a legend and I love how he speaks to the next generation. Jess is so authentic and I love how she is unapologetically Jess. Excellent interview.
I can't even imagine In Living Color coming out today...if it did, it'd be a sanitized version...basically modern day SNL. ILC pushed the boundaries and I was all for it. Classic skits, performers.
David. Sigh. He is one of THE most talented thespians working today and I am a devout fan. First because of his sheer brilliance, but secondly because his parents were longtime members of my home church, Ebenezer AME in his hometown of Detroit. And we could not be prouder that he comes from, was raised up within our Community!! So, whatup doe, baby boy! Keep being you!! You are loved!!!🥰❤️😘
I am throughly enjoying this conversation. I feel like he is a dad, uncle, or big brother dropping wisdom. Yes he is one of the G.O.A. T and when he drops those pearls of wisdom we should all listen and take heed. I have been a fan, since, In Living Color. Great interview!!!
Love that he took time to pour into them. I don’t agree with everything Jess says but it’s sad to hear that she doubts her spot. What God has for you, is for you.
The smarter comics are so layered, every interview is amazing, you can’t get In Oiving Color again because from Tommy to the Wayans to Jamie and Jim they were some brilliant well read and knowledgeable people, and the talent was different
I just love him! His soft-spoken demeanor is so refreshing! I don’t think I’ve ever heard him do an interview and I must say I was pleasantly impressed 😍
David always shows up from the beginning, a stellar performer, singer,rap when needed, with a bum hip,acting on tv,stage and movies.giving us his best and never forget ...channels the spirit of Teddy Pendergrass like no other!! A class act !
I love his answer at the beginning of the interview: CTG: "How are you, David?" DAG: "I'm good, man.. I woke up, so I'm good" Many people take life for granted. Gotta appreciate every moment, and every breath.
Morning! WAKE THAT MIND UP! Thanks for sharing this conversation with Mr. Daid Alan Grier, he demonstrates excellence, humor, talent in a way we can relate as well as non- black and brown people. Mr. Grier, thank you!
I’m thankful for this interview. I saw this movie on Netflix and wasn’t sure if I was interested. I understand the premise now so I’ll def be watching.
Salute to David Allen Grier been a fan since the beginning long before In Living Color.. Went to see him in a play before the pandemic after the play I spoke to him he walked by me I said damn he didn’t hear me I said Mr Grier great performance he just kept walking got in a waiting car and drove off!! I was like damn!! Maybe it just was a bad day but someone said he is like that with everybody..
love that gray beard on him. everytime I watch Tales From The Hood I cant believe they had him beating somebodys ass lol obviously he has range but I could never see David doing that shit for real
Great interview. David has always been one of my favorites. I saw the movie yesterday and loved it. Justice’s speech hit home for me. In my opinion, I think everyone should see the movie.

He went to Yale ? And doing a movie about a secret black society ? I never knew he went to Yale. That school guarantees your success.

The Carmichael Show will always be in my top 5 comedic sitcoms. David Alan Grier was a huge reason why that show was so good.

DAG is a legend and I love how he speaks to the next generation. Jess is so authentic and I love how she is unapologetically Jess. Excellent interview.

I miss the 90's. We had the best of so many worlds. Film. Television. Sports.
Jess looking at Mr Grier like 😍. I love it! That's respect and admiration
Love that he took time to pour into them. I don’t agree with everything Jess says but it’s sad to hear that she doubts her spot. What God has for you, is for you.
We need to hear more comedians, actors and other artists pour into the next generation. Love this!
I wasn’t having the greatest day but watching this interview made me laugh and smile! David Alan Grier is a legend and has much wisdom/poise.
Hope you are better.
He played the hell out of that role Monster on Tales From the Hood.
Real fuckin living legend. Most of our childhoods are stained with his Corky, cultured and funny ass comedy. Genius.
He has the best expressions on his face😮😮😅

The regal and royal David Alan Grier. A hilarious comedian and a fantastic actor - love him so much!!! ❤❤❤
One of the first ppl from my childhood that made me realize comedy..real black legend and king..
The fact that it’s only 150k views on the interview of the great David Alan Grier lets us know where we are now as a society.
The smarter comics are so layered, every interview is amazing, you can’t get In Oiving Color again because from Tommy to the Wayans to Jamie and Jim they were some brilliant well read and knowledgeable people, and the talent was different
My favorite non-wayan “Wayan” brother! Lol

David always shows up
from the beginning, a stellar performer, singer,rap when needed, with a bum hip,acting on tv,stage and movies.giving us his best and never forget ...channels the spirit of Teddy Pendergrass like no other!! A class act !
I love his answer at the beginning of the interview:
CTG: "How are you, David?"
DAG: "I'm good, man.. I woke up, so I'm good"
Many people take life for granted. Gotta appreciate every moment, and every breath.
David is a king, so underrated in his hilarity
I really liked him as a reoccurring character on Martin. EVERY episode with David Allen Grier was HILARIOUS!!
I don’t know about y’all…but I will always think of Rev Leon Lonnie Love first whenever I see him 😂😂🤣👌🏾🙌🏾
Saw it yesterday. So witty and well written!
I also loved his character in Queen Sugar as the abuser. He was good.
I can’t wait to see this movie! I will always be a fan of Grier. He deserves so much recognition for his depth and range..and longevity.
Wow didn’t even know David was from Detroit 🙏🏿
He is giving salt Daddy vibes❤❤i love the calmness and overall feel of this interview.

This show was a breath of fresh air! Would love to see Mr. Grier on the 85 South Show!
Best interview in a while
Great interview. David has always been one of my favorites. I saw the movie yesterday and loved it. Justice’s speech hit home for me. In my opinion, I think everyone should see the movie.
Very seasoned interview, I loved every bit of it. Would love to see him in more roles now he’s one hell of an actor/comedian
It’s the beard for me!!!❤❤
It’s great to see how Jess Hilarious has added new energy to the show, and how she admires comedians who came before her 🙂
I love the Wayans brothers but David was the funniest of them all,hands down ❤😂
Hands ALL THE WAY DOWN! Lol! I’d say Damon was a strong 2nd as far as ILC and the Wayans.
David is not a Wayans.
Mann when he played the pastor on Martin i think i laughed the whole episode and still do
Dsvid Alan Grier is one of my favorite comedians!! In Living Color was one of my favorite shows back in the day 💯💯💯
Our brotha David Allen grier had me crying laughing😂🤣
