Williams has an amazing resume for comedy on his hands. The stand-up comedian won the Emmy honors in 2018 for ‘Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Role’. If someone could turn a 3-hour interview into a stand-up show, it’s only Katt Williams. What was even funnier for the audience was his inability to control his drinking.

Sharpe was trying his best to stop Williams from drinking a lot but the 52-year-old would not listen. Anyhow, it brought out his funnier side. Sharpe’s interview with him has already got 2 million views in just 11 hours on YouTube. Apart from the uproarious antics, Williams didn’t hold back in poking fun at Steve Harvey and more. The comedian teased these TV giants, leaving fans and netizens in splits.

Katt Williams Takes Aim at Steve Harvey

Jabs and jests were also part of the show. The talented comedian accused Harvey of copying the concept of his show from Mark Curry, another prominent TV star. Williams stated that Harvey, known for his role as a high school music teacher on ‘The Steve Harvey Show’ in 1996, borrowed the idea from Curry’s earlier sitcom, ‘Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper‘, which debuted in 1992. 

Williams didn’t stop at that, he also took a swing at Harvey’s acting abilities. He said, “The same Steve that went to go watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole everything Mark Curry had,” he added, “Now Steve got a sitcom where he’s the principal and he wears a suit.”
