"The massive challenges that Tommy has faced in life have been no match for his soaring talent and indomitable spirit. If he had lady parts, my search would be over."  Jim Carrey, comedian and actor

In preparing for this episode with Tommy Davidson, I read Tommy's memoir, Living in Color: What's Funny About Me, which recounts his personal triumphs having been abandoned as an infant, adopted and raised by a Caucasian family in Washington D.C. during the Civil Rights Movement, his sustainability in Hollywood and his experience with race in this country. 

I met Tommy some thirty years ago in NYC and in the years since, I'd run into Tommy here and there in Los Angeles. He was always warm and made me feel like he and I had a special bond. I think aside from his incredible ability to make people laugh, being kind is just a natural for him. What I didn't know was Tommy's life story and all I can say is you can't read his book and not come away with a profound appreciation for the gift that Tommy is to all of us.

A true showman from a young age, Tommy Davidson’s exceptional range – from stand-up comedy and acting to versatile music accomplishments – have earned him a reputation as an extraordinary performer. Best known as one of the stars of the hit television show In Living Color, his visibility allowed him to become a household name known for his innovative talent. 

Join me, your host Brad Johnson ,  at the corner table for an intimate conversation with Tommy Davidson that reveals the human dimensions of the man behind the name.
