Alexyss K. Tylor had a program on Atlanta public access TV starting in the 1990s. The woman listening here is her mother. There is no reason she couldn't be a comedy club star, although I can't be sure she intends to be funny.
Thanks for the link to Gary Houston.
Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.
