In today’s video, we’re diving into the responses from comedians Guy Tori and Mike Epps to recent comments made by Cat Williams during his appearance on Club Shay. Williams’ remarks have stirred up quite a reaction, especially regarding the depiction of Guy Tori in his documentary, “Fat Tuesdays.” Let’s break down the responses and see how both Tori and Epps have addressed the situation.

Cat Williams’ Remarks on Guy Tori

In his Club Shay interview, Cat Williams criticized Guy Tori’s documentary, which highlighted the impact of “Fat Tuesdays” on the comedy scene. Williams disputed some of the claims made in the documentary, specifically pointing out inaccuracies about the involvement of notable comedians such as Cedric the Entertainer, Kevin Hart, and Tiffany Haddish at The Comedy Store.

Here’s a clip from Cat Williams’ interview for context:

“They think they can rewrite history. Guy Tori did a beautiful special about The Comedy Store in Fat Tuesdays, where he said that Steve and Cedric and Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish came through there and made all lies. Cedric never performed at The Comedy Store at all. Tiffany was only seen at the Laugh Factory.”

Guy Tori’s Response

Guy Tori quickly responded to Williams’ comments to clear the air. In his video response, Tori addressed the inaccuracies pointed out by Williams and reaffirmed the integrity of his documentary. Tori emphasized that the documentary accurately represented the history of Fat Tuesdays and the comedians involved.

Here’s what Guy Tori had to say:

“I need to address this Cat Williams situation. Man, I normally don’t get into stuff like this, but since my name was mentioned, I need to clear some things up. We didn’t tell any lies in our documentary. Cedric did perform at Fat Tuesdays. The documentary is on Amazon Prime right now, and it’s streaming strong.”

Mike Epps’ Commentary

Mike Epps also weighed in on the situation, though his approach was more tongue-in-cheek. During a recent performance, Epps took a jab at Cat Williams, making a humorous comment about Williams’ stage attire, including a “fake Fendi” jacket.

Here’s the clip from Mike Epps’ stage performance:

“He should have worn something different. That little hat that Cat had on and that fake Fendi jacket, that’s my joke. That’s my thing.”

Epps faced backlash for his remarks, leading him to clarify his stance. He posted a response on social media and shared a picture with Cat Williams, attempting to explain his intentions and emphasize that his comments were meant in jest.

Here’s Mike Epps’ clarification:

“I put everybody on and still putting comics on today. None of y’all brave enough to work with him or come around him. Stop making this sh*t so bad, we’re comedians. I cracked on his jacket because that’s what comics do. All this is marketing. Y’all mad at me? Get out of here, we’re having fun. Also, I know what the problem is. We all need another Friday. Let’s make history.”

Epps also humorously admitted that he was looking for some publicity, stating:

“I did get a little jealous, man. Cat broke the internet and didn’t say my name. I need to press too. Say something about me in there, man.”

Conclusion

The reactions from Guy Tori and Mike Epps illustrate the complex dynamics within the comedy community, where personal and professional boundaries often blur. While Guy Tori focused on clarifying the historical accuracy of his documentary, Mike Epps used the opportunity to engage in playful banter and self-promotion.

As the discussion continues, it’s clear that the world of comedy remains vibrant and contentious, with each performer navigating their own path through humor, rivalry, and public perception.
