Episode description as stored

Tommy Davidson’s story starts long before In Living Color. He opens up to Keke about being abandoned as a baby, growing up Black in a white adoptive family and how it shaped his identity and comedy. He reveals how a tragedy at one of his stand-up shows taught him the power of laughter and explains why he apologized to Dionne Warwick. Plus, Tommy sings, breaks out his legendary impressions and shares why his dream of playing Sammy Davis Jr. in a movie may finally come true.
