Williams said on a webcast that he assumed I was a no-name comedian who could take this joke and nobody would notice.
Williams spoke on the Club Shay Shay show after Cedric denied stealing the joke on Shannon Sharpe's podcast in 2022.
Williams stated, “He thought I was just a no-name comedian and that he could take this joke and nobody would know.”
The problem was that I had done this joke twice on BET ComicView. It was in the commercial because it did well on BET's ComicView.
The actor-comedian said, “This is my best and last joke and closing joke. 1998, I make this joke; Cedric visits The Comedy Store.
He sees me in the audience, comes backstage, and praises my performance and humor. His last joke on The Kings of Comedy two years later is exactly the same—he just turned my car into a spaceship.
In November 2022, Cedric said on the Club Shay Shay podcast that Williams' displeasure was “ridiculous” and denied stealing one of his jokes.
Williams said Cedric and Steve Harvey had apologized to him, so he never brought it up and gave them a “pass for a decade.” The comic was upset when Cedric denied joke theft on the show.
