Comedian Mike Epps recently made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and as always, he brought the laughs. Known for his hilarious performances in movies and TV shows, Epps shared some interesting stories and experiences during his interview with Jimmy Kimmel.
One of the topics discussed was Epps’ recent trip to Iceland. Epps revealed that he initially went on the trip to make up for being in the “doghouse” with his wife. But what started as a gesture to improve their relationship turned into an adventure like no other. Epps couldn’t help but express his surprise at the predominantly white population in Iceland, jokingly mentioning that he felt like he was in a scene from a Discovery Channel documentary. Despite the cultural differences, Epps had a great time exploring the unique landscapes of Iceland, including the famous Blue Lagoon and witnessing the captivating Northern Lights.
But here’s the interesting part – Epps needed some “weed for the Northern Lights.” Being resourceful, he called up none other than Snoop Dogg, who happened to have a contact in Iceland that could help Epps out. It turns out that Snoop really does have connections all around the world! Epps shared a funny anecdote about meeting Snoop’s Icelandic contact, describing him as a chunky white guy with an interesting appearance.
In addition to talking about his exciting trip, Epps also opened up about his current project with his wife. They are renovating and flipping houses, and Epps revealed that he still lives in the house he was born in, in Indianapolis. In an effort to bring positivity and development to his old neighborhood, Epps decided to buy all the houses they were evicted from when he was a child. He believes in revitalizing the neighborhood while ensuring that the original residents still have a place in the community. Epps’ wife plays a crucial role in the project, designing the houses and ensuring their success.
Living in his childhood neighborhood has been a surreal experience for Epps. He reminisced about riding down the same street with his wife and kids, feeling grateful to have come so far in his life while still being connected to his roots. Epps acknowledged that many of his childhood friends are either dead or in jail, highlighting the importance of his efforts to bring positive change to the community.
Epps’ journey of self-discovery, from his eventful trip to Iceland to his commitment to revitalizing his neighborhood, showcases his humorous yet down-to-earth personality. With his upcoming house-flipping show set to premiere on November 4th, fans will get to see another side of the comedian’s life and witness the impact he is making in his community.
