AceShowbiz - Katt Williams recently made headlines for numerous accusations against fellow comedians, including Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, during his appearance on "Club Shay Shay". Amid the drama, a resurfaced video from 2019 appears to back Katt's claims that Steve stole Mark Curry's material for his show "The Steve Harvey Show".
The said resurfaced clip was from Mark's interview on "The Mike and Donnie Show" where he called out Steve for stealing his material and using it on his past talk show. "Steve stole my material on the show so I have a beef on that," Mark revealed. "He did all my Halloween material on Halloween. I was watching that... You did my whole Halloween run."
The footage only backed Katt's claims during his recent interview. "The same Steve that went to go watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole everything Mark Curry had. Now Steve got a sitcom where he the principal, and he wear a suit. And then he gets this high-top fade, making all Black men think he got the best lineup in the business. And it's a man unit," he alleged in the Wednesday, January 3 episode.
Mimicking Steve, Katt continued, "Then you ask him, 'Why you not a movie star?' 'I didn't want to be a movie star.' This the same negro that hated on Bernie [Mac] with this same thing." He added, "There are 30,000 new scripts in Hollywood every year. Not one of them asked for a country bumpkin Black dude that can't talk good [...] and look like Mr. Potato Head. There ain't none. You have to have range."
The episode also saw Katt going after Cedric, whom he accused of stealing his material. "Cedric did the same thing. Cedric told you when you asked him, 'Did you steal Katt Williams' joke?' He said, 'It don't line up,' " he said. "How it don't line up that I did it on TV in 2018? You came to see me at the Comedy Store do it in 2019, and then did it on 'The Kings of Comedy'?"
"What doesn't line up? This is a televised joke that Mark Curry helped me punch up and get to the level that it was," Katt stressed.
He additionally slammed Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish. "Steve and Cedric never performed at the comedy store. Tiffany was only seen at the Laugh Factory. In 15 years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show. They think they can rewrite history," he said.
"For a five-year period, every single movie that Kevin Hart did was a movie that had been on my desk that all I had said was just, 'Can we take some of this Stepin Fetchit s**t out and then I can do it,' " Katt went on ranting, referencing the 1930s black actor who found fame for playing someone lazy.
He added, "Like it don't need to be overtly homosexual cuz I'm not homosexual right? It doesn't need that to be funny, right? And me saying that and them going, 'Oh yeah, no problem,' and then going to give it to this other guy and having him do it just like it was and acting like I'm a bad person because I keep standing on my standard. Yeah, it's interesting, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Again, I'm on the winning side of these decisions."
