We dive into the line between a comedian and a comedic actor, why stand-up still carries weight, and how social platforms reshaped who gets crowned as “funny.” From Chappelle and Carrey to Drewski and DC Young Fly, we push on impact, craft, and respect.

• Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, and sketch-to-screen routes 
• social media skits vs stand-up dues 
• SNL, In Living Color, and improv lanes 
• who belongs on the comedic actor Mount Rushmore 
• Donald Glover’s multi-hyphenate blueprint 
• streams, TikTok, and new gatekeepers 
• live bomb vs movie flop tradeoffs 
• 200 in-person vs 2 million online 
• Jim Carrey vs Dave Chappelle for impact 
• Kevin Hart: keep the stand-up or movies 
• Drewski vs DC Young Fly credentials 
• peers’ respect vs audience love 
• value, underpayment, and owning your lane 
• closing gems: mind your business, don’t force it, regulate emotions
