  • Famed comedian Lavell Crawford recently sat down for The Vlad Couch, where he touched on various topics, including his impressive weight loss, who he thinks is the top comedian, and getting his role on "Breaking Bad" as Saul's bodyguard Huell Babineaux.
    During the conversation, Crawford also shared his thoughts on the gay community, as he said that gay guys need to try some "good p***y" before fully deciding that they're gay. The interview made the rounds in the media, including some pro-gay sites that lambasted Crawford for his comments, which he later apologized for.
    Check out the full interview up top.

    Bless Lavell for taking charge of his health. It takes a lot of courage to have weight loss surgery. Most people can lose weight without surgery, but people like Lavell who have been heavy since childhood, need help. I have considered having the gastric "sleeve" done, but I don't have insurance, and can't afford it. I'm just glad he made the right decision to get healthy, and stay alive to continue delivering LMAO comedy to thousands of people who need it. God bless him!

    I was in a “not in the hood” mall with my daughter. All of a sudden she stopped in her tracks, turned on me and said every word of LC “...we’re going in this store...” as if she was my mother. I and customers stopped in horror thinking I was being disrespected, etc. but just as quickly it was as if we all had an epiphany, remembering and laughed until we cried. LAVELL CRAWFORD 👍🏾

    Being a musician and producer this is how deep we get when we were talking about rock and roll, blues acid blues psychedelic Rock, as well as Hip Hop we always put the original with whoever had the venue or the brand ? To push it to the masses when it came to who played a lick who did it, a drum track or who did it style on the druntrack first this is how we do it Lavelle is his craft I like his attitude and in my top three comedians arnez j, Eddie Murphy, and lavell Crawford, I love his humility.

Just look at what he said Adam Sandler one of the biggest white stars or stars period not only told him he was a fan he showed him by putting his money where is mouth is, you couldn't pay a big black star to do that exact same thing and its sad. When will we realize we are stronger together than we are apart we cant do for self cause we always helping and depending on the white race instead of helping n depending on ourselves smh.
