Up next, Chris Tucker “Friday” on the Jasper Lines. Chris Tucker seems to be a good guy. I’m not saying that he’s perfect, but he talks different than a lot of other comedian stars. He’s a great comedian and actor. I miss seeing him and want to see him more in movies. Tucker made his debut as a stand up performer on the HBO comedy series Def Comedy Jam, frequently appearing on the show throughout the 1990s. He appeared in the films “The Faith Element starring Bruce Willis ( that’s when I first saw Chris) and The Rush Hour Series with Jackie Chan.

People talk about Chris Tucker who played as Smokey in the comedy film Friday starring Ice Cube. They talk about departure from the film. Tucker said one of the reasons why he didn’t do the second one is because of the weed. He said the movie became a phenomenon, and he didn’t want everybody smoking weed. So Tucker didn’t want to keep doing the character.

Tucker sounds like a man with a lot of heart. In order to be concerned about how something could influence people, he has got to be a man that cares. Some comedians and actors only care about the cash dow, and they don’t think twice. They don’t care how they influence people and how they lead.

Now, let’s talk about who influenced Chris Tucker. His comedy influences were Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, and Tucker was known by his teachers and high school classmates for making people laugh by doing impress of Murphy, Michael Jackson, and others.

What I love most about Chris Tucker is he makes everybody laugh. No one is sad or offended. That’s what I call a great comedian.

I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to the Jasper Lines. The entertainment section.
