The Original Kings of Comedy (2000)

Over the course of two electrifying nights in February 2000, the Original Kings of Comedy ignite the stage in Charlotte, NC, weaving a symphony of laughter that transcends race and age. Guiding the audience through this comedic journey, Steve Harvey, with his nostalgic celebration of '70s love ballads, serves as the master of ceremonies, his wit sharper than a tailor's needle, teasing the front row spectators with playful jabs. D.L. Hughley, a master of extracting humor from racial disparities, delves into the intricacies of his marriage, painting a vivid tapestry of love and laughter. Cedric the Entertainer, with his signature flair, toys with the idea of a Black president and the undeniable truths of adulthood, his jokes landing with the precision of an orchestra conductor's baton. Last but not least, Bernie Mac, the outspoken sage of the group, gives voice to unspoken thoughts, philosophizing about life at 42 and the newfound dimensions it brings to his relationships and outlook on children. Spike Lee's unerring lens escorts us beyond the stage, peeling back the curtain to reveal the Kings in their natural habitat and immersing us in a sea of euphoric spectators. 'The Original Kings of Comedy' is a pulsating journey into the heart of humor, where laughter is the universal language and mirth the shared currency.
