Dean Edwards, a hilarious comedian, made his debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and he left the audience in stitches with his stand-up routine. Edwards began by sharing his excitement and great mood with the crowd, revealing that his eldest daughter had just graduated from college with zero student debt.
The comedian, who doesn’t look old enough to have kids in college, jokingly attributed his youthful appearance to “black don’t crack” and his self-care routine of drinking lots of water and using cocoa butter. He also poked fun at his friends who are envious of his full head of hair, as many men struggle with their hair as they age.
Edwards likened his hair to a marriage, noting that many of his friends are divorced from their hairlines. He humorously mentioned a friend named Harris, who has irreconcilable differences with his hairline, but Edwards doesn’t have the heart to tell him that it’s never coming back. With an afro at over 40, Edwards sees himself as a chemistry professor with a ponytail and vows to never cut his locks.
Proud of his daughter’s achievement, Edwards hilariously revealed that she owes him for her college education. He amusingly charges her interest and expects her to do her share of household chores in return. He jokingly suggested that if he had to pay tuition fees, she can at least wash a dish.
Transitioning into the joys of becoming an empty nester, Edwards shared that he and his wife finally had their privacy after 20 years of homeownership. However, he humorously mentioned that he still faces racial profiling in his own neighborhood, but owning a mini poodle has turned the tables. With his furry friend Pele, Edwards walks down the street with the same freedom, comfort, and confidence as a suburban white woman. He whimsically imitates the sounds of adoring passersby, reveling in the attention his adorable dog receives.
Having a pet also comes with unwanted conversations and questions from strangers. Edwards hilariously recounted the early morning encounters where he hasn’t brushed his teeth yet but is interrogated about his dog’s age. He amusingly fibs about his pet’s age to avoid judgement or condolences, knowing that his dog’s lifespan is shorter compared to his friends’ big dogs with human-sized fecal matter.
Edwards managed to turn himself into a dog person, driving around town with Pele just so he can stick his head out of the window and enjoy the wind. He even shared a funny encounter with a police officer, who initially seemed suspicious but ended up fawning over Pele, asking if he was a rescue.
