During a recent episode of Conan O’Brien‘s talk show, comedian Deon Cole shared a hilarious story about getting in trouble for parking in Bruce Willis‘ parking space. The conversation took an interesting turn as Deon discussed the segregation still present in Chicago, his hometown.
Deon, known for his stand-up comedy, expressed his desire to perform in every area of Chicago, breaking the divide between the north and south sides. He emphasized that he sees himself as a comic, rather than just a black comic, and wanted his jokes to resonate with audiences from all backgrounds.
When asked if he faced any backlash from friends for performing on the north side, Deon revealed that he had friends in each area of the city, but they rarely interacted with each other. Despite this, Deon made it a point to visit different parts of the city and perform for diverse audiences, fostering good relationships with everyone.
Deon’s writing process involves immersing himself in different experiences and situations to find humor. He mentioned attending a NASCAR event, where he observed cars going in circles and people dressed in checker outfits, a tradition he still doesn’t understand. Despite feeling initially out of place at the predominantly white event, Deon ended up having a great time joking around with the attendees.
Additionally, Deon discussed his busy schedule, which includes various commitments aside from comedy. He mentioned that he needs to live life fully in order to write material and often draws inspiration from the conversations and stories he hears from others.
During the conversation with Conan, Deon also touched on an amusing incident where he got kicked off the television lot for repeatedly parking illegally. He hilariously revealed that he had been parking in Bruce Willis‘ spot for months without any issues until the actor himself decided to park there one day. Unfortunately for Deon, his parking privileges were revoked, and he had to park down the street and walk to the lot.
The conversation ended on a funny note when Deon mentioned having a Bentley at the time and asking Conan if he wanted a ride. However, Conan declined, jokingly stating that he didn’t want Deon’s leather pants stinking up the luxurious car.
Overall, Deon Cole‘s appearance on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show was filled with laughter and insightful discussions about comedy, city segregation, and amusing mishaps. With his unique perspective and ability to find humor in unexpected situations, Deon continues to shine as a versatile comedian and entertainer.
