Jay Walker sits down with
Special K (Karl Douglas), the comedy backbone of the nationally syndicated
Rickey Smiley Morning Show. After 15 years on the airwaves, Special K is filming his first one-hour comedy special,
"Finally Famous?", live at the Red Mountain Theatre. In this hilarious episode, K opens up about being "situationally famous," the difference between radio humor and stage comedy, and why he refuses to deal with hecklers. He also keeps it all the way real about the physical changes that come with turning 50 (including the "weak stream"), his worst bombing story involving a quiet crowd and dishwasher sounds, and the invaluable advice he has for young comedians chasing internet fame.
