The Original Kings of Comedy is a 2000 American stand-up comedy film directed by Spike Lee and featuring the comedy routines of Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer, and Bernie Mac.

The film was produced by MTV Productions and Latham Entertainment, and was distributed by Paramount Pictures. It was shot over the last two nights (February 26 and 27, 2000) of the Kings of Comedy tour with Harvey, Hughley, Cedric, and Mac. Its on-stage routines are intercut with brief sections of video footage showing the comedians backstage, promoting the show on the radio, at the hotel, and during a basketball game. The film's popularity led to multiple spin-off films.

Summary[edit]

Steve Harvey[edit]

Steve Harvey, the star of The Steve Harvey Show, is the master of ceremonies for the show. Unlike his sitcom character, Harvey's on-stage routines use a significant amount of profanity; as the show's M.C., Harvey is given three short sets instead of one long one. Steve Harvey also introduced wearing suits at stand up for the original kings of comedy as he said 'The first year we did Kings of Comedy, they didn't wear suits, I'm the only one who wore suits,' he told the audience. 'D.L. used to say, 'Man, why you wear a suit all the time?' I don't know no other way to be, dog. People paying all this money to see us, might as well give 'em something to look at. Hell, we ain't cute. The Kings of Comedy wasn't no pretty group. We was funny as hell, but we was not an attractive bunch. You just have to know that. If you ain't cute, you ain't cute. You just gotta come to that s**t.'

The finale of Harvey's sets finds him poking fun at a member of the audience by stealing his coat while he is away from his seat, and remarking that the 'thuggish'-looking young man couldn't possibly be in the field of 'computer technology' that he claims he is. Harvey also covers his experiences growing up in the church, calling out the ineffectiveness of the typical black church 'building fund', and recollecting his mother's friend Sister Odelle's profane language and befuddled attempts to sing a church hymn (interspersed with lyrics from television show theme songs).

D.L. Hughley[edit]

Harvey's first set is followed by D. L. Hughley, the star of The Hughleys. He talks about family, specifically Black-American family with roots in the South. He observes the differences between black people and white people; for example, Hughley notes that black people don't skydive or do other dangerous physical activities because they experience enough peril just trying to get through an average day. 'Bungee jumping,' he says. 'That's too much like lynchin' for us!' He also talks about 'helicopter man', a game he and his wife play in bed, and some skid-marked undergarments that he tried to hide at the bottom of his dirty clothes.

Cedric the Entertainer[edit]

Cedric the Entertainer (Harvey's co-star on The Steve Harvey Show) presents himself as the most in-tune with the younger demographic, and goes through a number of topics during his routine. Primary among these is his embellishment of the differences between the 'hope factor' and the 'wish factor': white people 'hope' that nothing goes wrong, and black people 'wish' someone would start trouble so that they can retaliate. Cedric acknowledges that he is now a 'grown-ass man', and can no longer call his friends by their 'lil' nicknames' or engage in other such immature behavior.

He discusses how angry a black president might become if a Monica Lewinsky question were posed at a news conference, and also goes into routines about smoking, black athletes' expansion into golf, tennis, and other sports, what a 'ghetto-ass wedding' would be like, and black people's eventual migration to the moon. Also his love for Jamaican music and how in their music they solve a simple problem.

Bernie Mac[edit]

Bernie Mac is the most autobiographical of the group. He turns his comedy on himself. He uses short, punchy attacks to make his point about his decreased sex drive and desire for quick sex instead of longer periods of intercourse. Mac's longest routines involve his hard-nosed style of child-rearing, where he makes no qualms about 'fucking a kid up' if he needs to. He goes into an extended routine about the stress of raising his sister's children for her while she recovers from drugs [Mac did not actually have a sister; this was part of the routine], and tells of a run-in he had with his two-year-old niece and his effeminate six-year-old nephew, whom he refers to repeatedly as 'the faggot' (Mac's routine about his sister's kids later became the basis of his Fox Network family comedy The Bernie Mac Show).

He then tells a story about his mentally challenged nephew and his bouts with his bus driver; according to Mac, when the bus would come, his nephew would attempt to ask a question, but would immediately start stuttering, frustrating the bus driver and prompting him to drive off without picking him up. This continues the next few days, and Mac's aunt confronts the bus driver, asking why he was 'denying [her son's] 'edumacation.' The bus driver begins to stutter exactly like Mac's nephew, then proclaims 'he was teasin' me!'. The set, and the film, are concluded with Mac's piece on the ubiquity of the swear word 'motherfucker', which he describes as 'a noun: a person, place or thing,' and then, as noted by New York Times reviewer Elvis Mitchell, 'proceeds to give the heft of an adjective and even transforms it into a split infinitive.' He can be seen on the archive footage on Harvey's eponymous talk show. The show also reunited with Harvey without Mac as well as paying tribute to him, which aired in November 2016.
