Tyler Perry, I think he's OK, he's nothin' special. He gives black people work, so that's a positive ...

Didn't I just say I don't really care for him. I never watched any of his movies, I used to get the bootleg plays before he blew up back in the early 2000s. His TV shows are not that bad, Brown is the only over the top character really.

This brother was a star comic in the 80s’ and 90s’, but he didn’t have to use curse words to make people laugh at the same time Eddie Murphy, the Wayans and the Def Jam comics were top comedians. Sinbad was born David Atkins in 1956 in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Comedy wasn’t his first love, basketball was. He even was rewarded a scholarship at the University of Denver. He was so in love with the game, his comedy career didn’t start until 1983, he was almost 30. Never too late though. He got his name to fame as a finalist on Star Search. By 1986, he was on the Poverty Tour, a top tour that year. Also that year, he joined the cast of the short lived Red Foxx Show. The next years, he was starring as Coach Walter Oaks on A Different World and hosting It‘s Showtime at the Apollo. During those years, he became known as a top stand up comic and performed on many shows. He was on Robert Townsend’s second HBO special, Take No Prisoners and Comic Strip Live on Fox. In 1991, he had his first special on ABC, Sinbad and Friends All the Way Live ... Almost. The special s kept comin’ later that year HBO called his name. Brain Damaged was one of the great stand-ups (they used to run it on Comedy Central a lot.) He was back to years later with Sinbad Live from the Paramount--Afros and Bellbottoms. That same year, appeared on the short lived Comic Justice. 1993 was a good year, FOX gave him a series, The Sinbad Show, a great show that lasted one season. After taking a break to do his thing in movies, he hosted his first installment of HBO’s Sinbad's Summer Jam: '70s Soul Music Festival in 1995. Seems like this dude ran HBO in the 90s’ on of a Preachers man premiered in 1996. Three more Summer Jam’s showed the following three seasons. In the 2000s’, Sinbad kind of fell out the spotlight, though he did return as host of Showtime at the Apollo.

He's just not funny regardless of non-use of profanity
