    Aries is that guy who doesn't realize that he is very successful because he is comparing his journey to someone else's. And it's that journey that has kept him sharp and ready to perform...wishing him much more success!

    Aries Spears worries about too many situations you can not control and that can definitely lead into depression when you too focused on everyone else by asking why them and not me. Focus on you, build your brand, re-create yourself and come back with a bang. Dude is talented, but give up comparisons and go get it homie.

    In regards to that racist cast member in his MADTV story, he's talking about Alex Borstein. She's the broad who played Miss Kwon, the Asian lady whose catch phase was "He... look... like a man!!"
    She's currently on that streaming show The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. The show is set in the 1950s. It's about a jewish female comedian. Alex plays the lesbian manager or something like that. The reason I know he's talking about Alex is because he told this story YEARS ago and he dropped her name.

    This was a riveting interview with two of the best in comedy and entertainment! The ups and downs of life will definitely make you question God and the universe in general. The struggles to keep going after so many setbacks and seeing others receive earthly favor is hard to deal with. The truth is that it’s probably better to do whatever it takes to get it and ask for forgiveness later. Salute to Bill & Aries! Dope interview 🫡 💯👏🏽👊🏽

    Aries is one of my main childhood heroes. I'm really good at impressions and I learned most of them watching him, Eddie, Will sasso and Frank Caliendo. I'm mad at myself for still not doing anything with it but I do plan to. My only concern is trying to make it my own. My impressions are on point but it's more an impression of them doing impressions and I don't wanna be a copycat. This just lit my fire again tho. I think it's time for me to go for it. I really hope I can meet Aries one day just to tell him how much he impacted my life! I don't care what nobody says, Aries is one if the GOATS, PERIOD! 💯

    I'm a woman, and I feel what you're saying about making a man feel respected and honored. The Bible tells us that because God knows what a man needs to thrive. That should never be taken for granted. It tells men to love us because that's what we need to thrive is to be loved on, period. That's how you keep relationships strong and lasting.

I am also an Aries baby~ in fact, you sang Happy Birthday to me over the phone one year on my birthday because you were hanging out with my daughter, Faith, and she always called me at midnight to wish me Happy BDay. She used to kick it with Bill, too, back in her Florida (Tampa and Miami) days, as she was a regular at the comedy clubs. You really made my birthday, Aries, and I'll never forget it~ so thank you!!! BTW Faith lives in Charlotte now. Love you too, Bill B.💜

    Shante morphed into Shanaynay. They said the same thing about the character Jerome. There’s a comedian in the 90s that did a “playa” type character before Martin started his show. Then Martin came out with Jerome and it sounded so much like that comedian’s bit. I’ve seen other comedians bite off Lil Rel with his Daddy/Uncle and the girl (who does the hand gestures) characters.
