the Entertainer:
Interview & Story By Tawanah Reeves-Ligon
The King is Here
Y
oud have to go pretty far and wide to meet someone who doesnt know the name Cedric the Entertainer. Born Cedric Antonio Kyles, the multihyphenate comedian, producer, entrepreneur, host and actor has been a recognizable face in entertainment for almost 30 years. Many recall Cedric from his time as a former host of BETs ComicView and Def Comedy Jam in the 90s. Others will remember him for his co- starring role in the hit sitcom on WB The Steve Harvey Show , next to fellow comedian and friend Steve Harvey. However, most fans hear his name and immediately think of the sensa- tion that was The Original Kings of Comedy tour and video in 2000 where he performed beside fellow legends Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and the late Bernie Mac.
Long Live the King
