AceShowbiz - Katt Williams didn't hold back during his appearance on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast. In the Wednesday, January 3 episode, the comedian/actor didn't hesitate to diss fellow comedians Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey as well as radio personality Ricky Smiley.
He first called out Ricky for being a liar. The Emmy winner was referring to when Ricky suggested that he was supposed to play Money Mike in the 2002 film "Friday After Next" while Katt was supposed to take the Santa Claus role.
Katt then came at Cedric, who allegedly stole his material. "Cedric did the same thing. Cedric told you when you asked him, 'Did you steal Katt Williams' joke?' He said, 'It don't line up,' " he said. "How it don't line up that I did it on TV in 2018? You came to see me at the Comedy Store do it in 2019, and then did it on 'The Kings of Comedy'?"
"What doesn't line up? This is a televised joke that Mark Curry helped me punch up and get to the level that it was," Katt continued.
Katt went on to question whether Cedric is living up to his "Entertainer" title. "We found out he can't sing, can't dance and doesn't write jokes," he pointed out. "He did four comedy specials. They're so bad, Shannon, they're not available on Netflix or Tubi."
Not stopping there, Katt moved on to put Steve on blast. He appeared to insinuate that the "Family Feud" host plagiarized Mark's role as Mark Cooper on "The Steve Harvey Show". "The same Steve that went to go watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole everything Mark Curry had. Now Steve got a sitcom where he the principal, and he wear a suit. And then he gets this high-top fade, making all Black men think he got the best lineup in the business. And it's a man unit," Katt alleged.
Mimicking Steve, Katt continued, "Then you ask him, 'Why you not a movie star?' 'I didn't want to be a movie star.' This the same negro that hated on Bernie [Mac] with this same thing." He added, "There are 30,000 new scripts in Hollywood every year. Not one of them asked for a country bumpkin Black dude that can't talk good [...] and look like Mr. Potato Head. There ain't none. You have to have range."
Elsewhere in the episode, Katt said that the trio were forming an alliance against him. "For 30 years, they're a group. These aren't three random guys," he stressed. "The way that Rickey Smiley kept appearing at all my auditions is because of Steve and Ced. He would tell anybody that. Listen, they got a gang on that side. They know what it is."
It didn't take long before Cedric reacted to Katt's accusations. Writing in an Instagram comment, he said, "Revisionist History, regardless of whatever Katts opinion My career can't be reduced to One Joke Katt Williams claims as his. I been over 40 movies, my specials and brand speaks volumes for I am. The ppl I have put on including 'Katt in the Hat'. And the Gibson Amphitheater and all that tough talk!"
He went on fuming, "Is corny af I'm grown a** man. And none of the s**t gonna go like you think. You do you and I got this over here…."
