Steve Harvey RULES!
15 July 2006
I have to admit that I just watched "The Original Kings of Comedy" for the first time. I found a lot of dead on observations presented in such funny ways that I laughed a bunch. However, while I found Bernie Mac interesting to watch and listen to, I didn't laugh when he was on. And while Hugley and Cedric made me laugh a few times each, I was mostly observing and making mental notes about their material and delivery. It was non other than Steve Harvey who cracked me up almost the whole time, every time he was on stage. I'll admit that I'm just a generic white guy with a very limited knowledge of the black experience, but, it seems to me, if Harvey could keep me laughing that much, the other three could have been able to give me a lot more motivation to laugh as well. Until now, I figured that Harvey must be considered a lower tier comedian than the others, since he hasn't gotten the TV sitcoms and other primo gigs that they have. And, as he was just the MC here, it would seem that the producer and director thought the same thing. But, as far as I'm concerned, he not only stole this show, he owned it!
