50
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: TV years, I mean in TV seasons, that's that's big.

51
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: A lot of shows don't make it. Did. Why Why

52
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: is the Neighborhood so successful? Man? You know, I think

53
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, it came along at the right time. You know,

54
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: the Neighborhood was it was like we were talking about

55
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: like gentrification and you know, race relationships when people were

56
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: really kind of like extra polarized right before it got

57
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: even more so, like you know, and then um, but

58
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: it was all about how how people can have to

59
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: learn to get along, like how you you know, you're

60
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: forced to, you know, in life like live with other

61
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: people and in operating and so you know, with with

62
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: me living and being this patriarch and this kind of

63
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: African American neighborhood being the main dude there, and then

64
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: having this white family moving that's just like hella friendly,

65
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: like you know, just a good dude, you know, David.

66
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: So I had to learn to like learn to like

67
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: let him be him and then him allow me to

68
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: be me, and then we recognize that we can actually

69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: be friends. And that's that's what the show is all about.

70
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: So you know, it ended up being something that really

71
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: works and resonates with people. And it was tough. You know.

72
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: We went through, you know, all the given pull and

73
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: take of trying to figure out how to do that

74
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: in a real way, you know, with with writing and

75
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: having people like not necessarily liking my character being so

76
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: gruff at first, you know, like these kind of things.

77
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: But I'm really I was really happy that, you know,

78
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: people just started to love to show more and more

79
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: and so we we we didn't we did a hundred

80
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: plus at this point now, so good for you. And

81
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: you know what, your character is somewhat complex at the

82
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: same time very easy to figure out. I mean, yes,

83
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how to describe it, but Cedric, when

84
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: you're when you're in front of that camera, and it's

85
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: been like this since I remember Barber Show, I mean

86
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: way back. You just have this natural ability to just

87
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: do your thing, play that character as if there is

88
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: no camera. Is it something like how do you become

89
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: a great actor? Or is it just something you're born

90
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: with and that's it, that's the end of you know,

91
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: that's a that's a great question, man, because you know,

92
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: like I always I used to do my stand up

93
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: where I played a lot of characters, and like early

94
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: on in my stand up, I studied theater in college

95
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: as a minor, right, I wasn't like a real official

96
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: kind of like actor person, but um but in in

97
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: doing a stand up, I would always emulate my uncles

98
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: or people from the church that I knew, and I

99
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: would act the whole thing out, and I just thought

100
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: it was important to actually transform into that person. So

101
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: that's what I try to do with with television or

102
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: whenever I'm on film, is like, pick out who the

103
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: character is and literally just like I can do him.

104
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: You can throw anything at me and I will be

105
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: able to be that person doing it. Old man. God, yeah,

106
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean there's you know, there's the barber shop. Oh man,

Speaker 1: starting to you know, I still think it's still like

154
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: coming around. It's a lot of like, you know, new

155
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: comedic voices coming on that are funny, and people getting

156
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: shots now, you know, getting chances to you know, get

157
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: their voices out there. So now I think it's still

158
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: in you know, in some good shape. But we do

159
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: love to go out and laugh, like that's the thing

160
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: people want to do that. Have you noticed that it's changed,

161
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: like when you go out to the stand up now

162
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: that people get a little more offended or little saltier

163
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: about things. Oh yeah, I mean that is that's the

164
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: world we live in right now. So weird with the

165
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: you know the combination of cancel culture and everybody's got

166
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: like these hard lines and they're saying about whatever it

167
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: is that that you know their belief is and and

168
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: you you're not supposed to cross any line. So you know,

169
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I you know, I feel like I got I kind

170
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: of got grandfathered in from the og state, you know,

171
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: hopefully you know, I don't I don't go out to

172
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: intentionally offend people, but you know, like you can literally

173
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: just you know, talk about people who don't like sugar

174
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: on their cereal, and then it'll be a whole group

175
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: of people that's like we we do frosted flakes are serious.

176
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: And you're like what you said, don't eat frosted flakes

177
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: up there, like you like, wow, it's a whole coalition

178
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: y'all out here like throwing like random old cheerios in

179
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: my car and something. Well, those are the people that

180
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: need to laugh. Those are people need to kneel, get

181
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: them to laugh. It's hard to get them to laugh.

182
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: They really need to relax, right for sure. I'm with you.

183
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna if you're just turning us on Cedric to

184
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: entertainers here, uh, celebrating the one hundredth episode of the

185
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: Neighborhood and that will be on Monday. You directed this one. Yeah, yeah,

186
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: that's weird. Being a director versus just showing up and

187
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: doing your lines and doing your character and going home. Yeah,

188
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: because it's talk about it's to be four and after

189
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: with directing, it was it was you know, And that's

190
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: the thing you don't, you know, you kind of you

191
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: take it for granted what their job is, right, because

192
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: the director has to come in and like see this

193
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: room before we even get here, and like tell you

194
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: where you're gonna be and what you're gonna do. And

195
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm what you sitting here and you there all right,

196
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: this is the whole idea. And then I might come

197
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: in and they're like, ah, we don't like the hat.

198
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: You'd be like what, Yeah, lose the hat. You'd be like, no, man,

199
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: I want the hat. Nah. And then and then and

200
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: then so so Sody, you gotta deal with that. And

201
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: then you know, then then her jacket might go against

202
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: the wall and he's like, okay, like you need them

203
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: know every little thing about what you're picking up in

204
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: this show, sound like the story ain't a retentive, Like

205
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: they got of control everyone, But you're the executive producer. Ye,

206
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: so they and I overrule myself. Okay, so this is

207
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: what I do. So great so thenular like, I don't

208
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: like that this we got we gotta keep hitting the

209
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: dumb but sorry. See yeah, next time you say curse words,

210
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: just reach I got it now, just like I'm saying,

00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: right now. I really hate that week on public you know, frequencies.

213
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: We can't make seven words. We can't make this though.

214
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Oh that's one of the greatest bits ever from Carlin. Carlin, Yes, yeah, yeah, funny,

215
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: but yeah, we go ahead. How much of your real

216
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: life is woven into the neighborhood if you had crazy neighbors,

217
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: because here in the city, none of us even know

218
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: our neighbors will see them. It's so it's so different,

219
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: right yeah, now, I mean early and I mean when

220
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: I first moved to LA I did have some crazy neighbors,

221
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: like you know, because you move in and it's the

222
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: it's the kind of neighborhood where everybody somebody you know,

223
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: So I didn't know like dude, just you know, I

Speaker 1: like on the street, like that's his space. You know.

00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: so I stayed here for about four months, which was great,

250
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,079

00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: I got out of here too, right in town. You know,

254
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: I got I got a in October, like right before

00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: winter hit. And I was just looking at everybody like, sorry,

256
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: guys going back to California. Yeah, everybody was like, oh

257
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: it started to get started to get chilly. I'm like,

258
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: I know, see, hey, did you did you have my sweater? Hey,

259
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: I'm going Did you enjoy hosting the Emmys? It Emmys? Yeah? Yeah,

260
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: I hosted the Emmys seventy seventy third, seventy two. You

261
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: could do that again? Is that is that kind of

262
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: weird hosting a show like it's a little you know,

263
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: it's a little it's a good time, but it's a

264
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: little stressful too, because you know, like unlike the Oscars

265
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: or even Golden Glows, the Emmy music, you know, people

266
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: do like that that that kind of raw humor where

267
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: you take shots at people. But that's not really my brand.

268
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't have to have a celebration. We did

269
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: this whole thing with you know, uh where we just

270
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, I had music and had brought LLL Kuja.

271
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: We had a good time, man. So you know, that

272
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: was the celebration and it was the first one where

273
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: people hadn't been where we were back out, you know,

274
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: after after COVID, so um, so I would do it

275
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: again for that reason. Like I had a really good

276
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: time doing it, and you know, but you know, it

277
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: is it's it's it's a lot of pressure to have

278
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: like all the eyes on you in the industry everything

279
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: at once, and this expectation. I always say this about

280
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: performing in your hometown. It's that people always think it's

281
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna be great, like to go home to your hometown.

282
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: But it's so much more pressure when your peer group,

283
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, and everybody's looking at you and expecting you

284
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: to do well. So if you miss, then it's that

285
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: uh that's you know, that's one guy but he didn't

286
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: kill it, you know, whatever type thing. So there's pressure that. Yeah,

287
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot of pressure for it, you know. So

288
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and kiss your kiss your button

289
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: for a second. Here we go. I think, gutty, what

290
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: was that noise, she said. I just was wondering which

291
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: direction this was going to go on. I think I

292
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: don't want to hit the dump, but we all, we

293
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: all have reason to hit that du I'm gonna just

294
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: sit on that dumb button all day. You could do anything.

295
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Centric's Entertainer could host an award show. You can direct

296
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: and and be the lead character on this incredible, incredible

297
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: show that's in one hundredth episode. You could do anything.

298
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: Is there anything acting wise, or stand up wise, or

299
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: anything in the entertainment world that you would necessary? I mean,

300
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: you would definitely not do other than a nude love

301
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: making scene. What come on? Would you do that? Yeah?

302
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: That No? Like, well let's go like don't but okay,

305
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: as a person that likes to entertain people, I definitely

306
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: want to try it all like we've done. You know,

307
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: I had a chance to do broad Way before, you know, drama,

308
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: dramatic movies. I would like to do a little more

309
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: drama probably, um um, I've never done it like a

310
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,960

316
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,120

317
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: not saying you're not putting any effort in there, and

318
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,239

319
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,480

320
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 1: such a gift from from God, from the universe. That's

321
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,840
