George Wallace's observational humor, and masterful storytelling have earned him a place among comedy's most iconic figures. 

As a comic, writer and actor he has been casted in "Seinfeld," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "Mr. Deeds" and so many more staple TV shows and films. Wallace is perhaps best known for his iconic “I Be Thinkin’ routines and his signature “Yo Mama” jokes. He currently stars alongside Laverne Cox in the comedy series, "Clean Slate." 

In 2004, Wallace headlined his own show at The Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. It was initially only greenlit for 30 days, but the show became so popular it ran for over a decade. That's how he earned the nickname “The New Mr. Vegas.”

Wallace joined the The Metro to discuss all the things he appreciates most in his life.

He will take his impeccable timing and authentic insights to the Fisher Theatre stage Saturday October 25th.
