Tavis revisits his conversations with comedian-actors Mo'Nique and Katt Williams.
Mo'Nique
Mo'Nique
Known for her role on The Parkers, Mo'Nique's humor has taken her from college audiences to adult comedy clubs. She developed a fashion line and wrote Skinny Women Are Evil, in which she shares her frustration in a world designed for the skinny. Her credits include the film,Phat Girlz, host of the TV music series, Showtime at the Apollo—the first female comedian to do so—exec producer of Oxygen's, Mo'Nique's F.A.T. Chance, and host of VH1's Charm School. She still does stand-up whenever possible.
Katt Williams
Katt Williams
Multitalented comedian-actor Katt Williams had a passion for performing as a child. Starting at age 13, he worked odd jobs, including magazine sales and traveling with a carnival, before getting into stand-up comedy. Williams has been a regular at L.A.'s Improv and Comedy Club and appeared on Nick Cannon Presents: Short Circuitz and, to rave reviews, in the films, Friday After Next and Norbit. He also stars in his own HBO comedy special and still tours the country performing stand-up.
