The added context to this performance is that Public Enemy was performing that night and because one of them missed the show they would only perform one song. The crowd was pissed. Steve came out and saved the show with this performance. The Apollo producers never forgot that, and was on the top of their list when looking for a new host. If you watch Season 15 Episode 4 of Showtime at The Apollo they actually talk about this story on a spotlight segment.

@richardpayton9671 Жыл бұрын

Goes to show how fickle fate can be. If all of Public Enemy had shown up, Steve does not get invited, kill his set, and become the host of Showtime at the Apollo host. He may have kept doing comedy gigs on the road and maintained a career, but it might not have led to where he is now. Then again, maybe if he missed this break, he would have done another gig instead where a TV producer saw him and it lead to a No. 1 TV show that lasted for 8 years and made him as rich as Seinfeld! LOL Ya never know....

Here from the Club Shay Shay interview ❤ Seeing how confident he appears, you would never know he was going through what he was going through at the time. I see a bunch of comments saying it’s not funny and that’s understandable because I’ve seen a few comedy shows from the 80’s/early 90’s that’s not funny to me because some things you just have to know about to understand. I recently went to a comedy show and this one dude’s whole set was about cartoons and shows that used to come on in the 90s. Unless you knew those shows, none of it would’ve been funny. But for those of us that knew, we were in tears laughing so hard 😂
