      @@yaboysix Doesn't matter. This is not the place imho. F.e. I listen to the 'fake doctors real friends' podcast. Donald Faison has the same kind of background and that's fine. Pretty cool stories on how he and people like Tara Reid and Jerrel O'Connel used to hang out and party. But on the Daily Show it needs to be about current topics. If Epps had a show or movie coming out, or was doing some other project, it would be different.

    What Omar said about each piece being
    part of a mosaic is so beautiful and true- to the body of his work and regarding life itself. From crushing on Omar during the time of Juice and Higher Learning and finding joy during difficult parts of my childhood via In Living Color, this was magical to watch. To see them get to this point is so powerful. I feel like they're part of the fabric of my childhood and adulthood now. What gifts they both are.

    I don't know about high school anywhere else, but going to high school in new york city was the best for me. Taking the bus and train and acting a fool with your friends on the way to school, acting a fool on the way home. Jumping double dutch in the locker room. Going to the basketball court to shoot hoops and having a full fledge basketball game right before you go home, then your moms be made cuz you walking in the house all late and she wondering where you was all evening...I can go on and on, but to hear them talking about the high school days in the city brings back a lot of memories for me lol.
