0:00
Yeah, what's going on everybody
0:06
It's your man Chuck Creekmer, aka Jigsaw here at the BET Awards 2023 and we're here with
0:12
none other than C. King. What up? What's going on man? I'm blessed to be here, man
0:17
I'm a huge fan of yours, man. I mean, obviously it's the Denzel impersonation, man, but you are so funny and it never ever
0:24
ever gets old. I promise you. Yeah. So first of all, talk to me about how that came about
0:30
So my first impression was actually Dave Chappelle, but I started watching different different
0:37
comedians like Reggie Reg and Dean Edwards, Harry Spears, of course, Jay Pharoah, London Brown
0:43
I was watching all of those cats do Denzel impressions and I was like, man, I want to be able to do that too, because that Denzel hit different
0:50
You know what I'm saying? But once I started watching interviews and speeches of Denzel, I was like able to go
0:57
a little bit deeper and kind of like, you know, get to the essence of it
1:02
You know, because a lot of times people will say, you know, well, that sounds like an impression
1:06
of somebody else doing impression. But I say I want to sound more like him in general. OK
1:15
With the mannerisms. With the mannerisms. You got to do a couple of blinks
1:19
You got to do the lip. Not the lip. Yo, I love Denzel, but the lip be there
1:26
The lip. If you don't do the lip because the lip is essential. Shout out to Denzel
1:33
I love Denzel. And by the way, I had a very viral moment with Denzel
1:39
I don't know if you saw it, but a few years ago at the Fences premiere, I ran him down
1:45
and I interviewed him for 30 seconds. And he says, you know, about being a man
1:50
And that went viral for me. So I'm looking for Denzel because I want to do a part two and talk to him about that
1:56
But, you know, he imparted so much wisdom in that short period
2:00
If you can't get Denzel to do it, I'm hoping that he may call me and say, hey, this is
2:07
what I want you to say. I want you to say it in my voice
2:11
And that's going to be an epic moment. You know what I'm saying? Right
2:15
And he might say something like true desire in the heart for anything good is God's proof
2:22
to you sent beforehand to indicate that it's already yours. That's real wisdom
2:28
That's something that he actually said. Like it's been times where I've had to like I've had to, you know, watch speeches and
2:37
interviews and I'm like, man, this really this man is cooking like his his mind and
2:44
how he moves and how he applies his knowledge to everyday living
2:48
You know what I'm saying? When he was talking about, you know, fences being so cultural, when he was talking about
2:56
you know, fake news and and how people like his mind is mentorship
3:04
His mind is mentorship for sure. Now, you're in the works on something with Denzel
3:08
Can you talk about it? Well, I can actually say that I'm not I'm not his official voiceover guy just yet, but
3:18
just recently, I don't know if that's going to be able to air this or not, but I'm going to say it because I'm happy about it
3:23
I just got called to do overdubs for Equalizer 3. So if you hear a point, if you're in the point where you're watching the movie, because I
3:32
know you're going to watch the movie. It's the first sequel that Denzel is every day. Denzel has never done a part two, part three to anything. OK
3:40
So I did a sequel to Equalizer, Equalizer 3. I got called into the studio to do overdubs
3:47
Let me tell you something. If somebody ever says that you're doing too much of one thing, never listen
3:56
There's a lane, but there's a specific lane for everybody. I do all types of stuff
4:01
I act, I sing, don't dance. But Impressions was such a lane for me that it created an open doors that I couldn't even fathom
4:12
Yeah, mastery is everything. Mastery. Yeah, mastery for sure. Master something. So talk about your work outside of Denzel Impressions
4:22
I just finished acting in this movie called Dope Kings. I'm actually working with an acting coach right now
4:28
Shout out to Tracy Moore. Hoping to get into some New York sitcoms or series, things like that
4:36
Actually putting together a one man show with the band right now
4:40
So I'm trying to utilize all the gifts. Denzel Impressions was just one of those things that happened to catapult me through many
4:47
doors, man. So I'm grateful to God for it, man. It's the only God that I'm here, bro
4:51
How was it working with Nick Cannon on Wildin' Out, and what jokes are y'all flying back
4:55
and forth? Oh, you already know. We're talking about Nick and his babies
5:00
As many babies as he has, that's how many seasons we gon' have
5:05
But that's a beautiful thing to see. He's confident in the children that he has
5:11
He's not afraid to be a father. He steps to the plate at home, and also on stage
5:19
I would say there are differences between bosses and leaders. Bosses just delegate, and that's it
5:26
Nick is a leader. He'll sit down in a pit and tell us, okay, try this, tweak this, do this, try that
5:34
I think that's great leadership. That's awesome leadership. I love Nick. Nick's a pioneer
5:40
Yeah, man. Can't nobody say nothing bad about Nick in my eyes
5:44
All right, man. Anything else you wanted to tell people? Thank y'all for tuning in to Culture's Biggest Night, man
5:54

6:09

6:15
