If they ever need another actor to play Don Cornelius on the series American Soul, Chris Thomas has the voice and look.
So true that’s a really good call
I don’t understand why he wasn’t the first choice after this.
told I😂😂😂😂🎤👑I told Chris Thomas last night that he could play Don Cornelius...How ironically you would post this!
Yessir. He did do the best Don Cornelius impersonation back n the day.
🤣🤣🤣 u right. That's Crazy.
Chris Thomas is one of our underrated icons who represented and did so much for comedy and Hip-Hop culture.
👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽✊🏽✊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Chris Thomas ran DC in 80s -early 90. He really is the Mayor of DC
Chris Thomas...legend!
Ain't nothing like the DMV, darling!
Pierre funny as hell when he slides the jokes in while interviewing..he is the interviewer I literally never thought I needed but he’s good..favorite pod out right now 👌🏾
Wow Chris is truly a legend out here, lets give that man his flowers
He is the only comedian that I haven't seen in 20 yrs
Pierre is good at bringing back comics that really don't have it going on anymore.
No hate he never really was that funny.
@@parabellum5503 _YEAH, HE WAS JUST A GOOD IMMITATOR, WHICH ONLY GOES SO FAR. IT WAS GOOD IN THE 80'S B
Disagree w all of you. These are PIONEERS OF THE COMEDY GAME. #RESPECT
Chris Thomas is a living legend. Thanks P.
It’s great seeing Chris Thomas again. I was born in ‘88 and probably had no business watching “Def Comedy Jam” and “Comic View” in the ‘90s but glad I did. Homie still has the middle part 😂 I love it 💪🏽❤️🔥
The living legend Chris Thomas. Love you both
Damn Chris Thomas is a living legend. I remember Chris used to do this little shoulder dance. Lol. True legend
Shout out to Chris Thomas. He’s the RAP CITY G.O.A.T.
"Black don't crack but it will mold" 🤣 I like that! He's hilarious, good interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I gave him his flowers day one! Back in the 80’s!
Chris Thomas is a Legend, one of the funniest to ever to do it!!
He is a legend, but he is more of an imitator than a comedian. He is still kind of stuck in the 90's
Did not know Chris was so talented and blessed.
Chris Thomas is the big homie.... Always as cool as a fan....

George Burns "Oh God" movies were big when I was coming up.... haven't heard his name in years. I would read this man book in one sitting!
What an amazing interview in conversation... Chris is truly a legend
This brother is looking, sounding like, the late, great Don cornelious
KNOW YOUR HISTORY!! A lot of knowledge in this interview. Salute to Chris for being so candid, and to Pierre for conducting an excellent interview. Keep up the good work Pierre, the game still needs you.....
Man!! I was there at that concert in Indianapolis when T-Roy got killed too! Sad ass night I'll never forget it.
Back in the good ole days of BET
Frustrated over the Falcons loss 2 da Eagles but...Dis interview had me cracking up..Great 2 see da Mayor again..Loved da standup u did on BET.Like Billy D. Williams welcoming MJ into his jail cell..Da girl who said "My man locked up,but he did it 4 da baby"..And when u visited a honey and she got a knock on the door,looked out the peephole and says,"uh-oh..its him..he crazy" and y know da rest..Pierre u a funny brother and u need a show like Arsenio..Thanks 4 having Chris..
Comedian Pierre..... Love the 'Panic Room' and the way you have elevated the media format to know the success AND the obstacles of comedians/iennes we have come to know and love.
Appreciate your bringing so much to educate us all whether it be an aspiring comedian or a fan.
The official mayor of Rap City and one the panel hosts of the BET game show "Tell Me Something Good" about a year before rap city took off. Don't forget how he brought Prime to rap city with him
shoutout to the Mayor
You gotta be a Real OG to still call it “Show Bizness”
Legendary. Thanks for the upload!
Chris Thomas and Pierre in the same room. Classic 💯💯💯💯
I have not ever heard anyone say Pierre the way chris says it.
Chris Thomas, Teddy Carpenter, Earthquake, Joe Clair, Tommy Davidson and Pierre….man these guys are legends. Not sure why they’re not household names like Richard and Bernie. Quonset , Crystal City in VA …wow that was so long ago! 🤎
So glad to see Chris Thomas on Pierre's Panic Room. I remember you both from the DMV back in the day. GREAT interview! 😍 Chris Thomas is definitely a living legend. He has a plethora of stories to share. He needs to write a book.
I remember the HBO Special that he did with Whoopi Goldberg. He has toured with so many excellent comedians including the great Paul Mooney (R.I.P.)
Thanks for doing this interview! I loved it! ❤❤❤
Two DC Legend Comedians chopping it up! The show was 🔥🔥🔥🔥, but come on Pierre why you didn’t give Chris a Party Bag?. C’Mon Man don’t short the Homie!😂😂😂
Man this interview is everything 🙌
God, this is classic! Great interview! Salute king!
He did a joke about Bill Cosby and Michael Jackson and Billy Dee Williams being in jail together that mess was hilarious LOL
These tour stories are the type of stuff that ME TOO can come back and snatch you up out these streets.
Great seeing him for sure. Part of all of our up bringing this guy.
Aye I remember him from the P.E. Video Night of the living Baseheads. This is the wash pot and also the cooking pot..Hilarious 😂 ..
Man I’m so glad to see you doing your thing still I go way back with your comedy. Please Keep this show going I tune in all the time love how you switch it up on your show . Keep bringing on the legends ……. One Love!
Awesome interview!!
Pierre where did you find this Old KoOoL School Great!!! This is why I watch Pierre's Panic Room! You never know who's going to show up❤️🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Pierre is awesome. My dude. Glad you've reinvented yourself. Sky's the limit.
Wow!! How exciting that must have been to be on tour with all the pioneers of hip hop..I bet he's got some great memories!!
It’s Pierre response after every impression for me
I remember him on Rap City and I was a young'n then. I remember him most on PE's video "Night Of The Baseheads". CLASSIC. He even busts out a Richard Pryor impression.
@8:25 The Howard Cosell impersonation had me though LOL wow
Great interview. Awesome stories.
Watch out TK Kirkland! We got somebody else that was there!
Cool. Always wondered what happened to this Brother. I was a huge rap fan back in the day. I watched Rap City all the time.
“My father was a chemist.” - CT
“I knew a lot of fathers in DC that were chemist.” - Pierre 😉😂
My father was a chemist 😅😂. I know a lot of fathers who were chemists
That was a funny joke, but Chris' father was a true Chemist, not the illegal kind. LOL
I forget about him I used to watch Rap City all the time, Chris looks great, good show.....
big props to chris thomas...unsung and a living legend. saw him once at cafe arizona in federal way, wa after a concert he hosted in tacoma.
Love the show brutha Pierre.. Yes, C Thomas is somewhat of a Comedic Legend and very Unsung..
Wow, I don't know how many stories I've heard about Trouble T-Roy and this was the first time I've heard anyone talk about the actual accident!
He still doing the same bits from the 90s awesome
Great interview
This is a great forum. It brings comics from the past that gives themselves and the fans closure.
IT'S THE MAYOR!!!!! (Shoulder dance)
I just posted on another clip that back in the 80s and 90s, Tommy Davidson and Chris Thomas opened for every musical group in DC. I am glad Pierre's Panic Room backed me up.
One of my favorites. Chris Thomas always gives me true laugh out loud moments 🤣
Woahhh Chris Thomas 👏🏾👏🏾..where you been you are definitely a trailblazer😃..so great to see you again!!!
Chris Thomas legend
great episode
Wow the real bet era
DC is to comedy is what NYC is to point guards
I love that comparison however what points guards are you referring to besides Kenny Anderson and Larry Brown.
@@terrypross7638 Mark Jackson. Stephon Marbury. . Earl Monroe. Pearl Washington. Etc...
Great interview P
This is gold.
I remember Chris Thomas from BET’s Rap City. He’s funny 😆. I really enjoyed watching him.💕
I enjoyed this!!
Pierre if You could get Tony Roberts or Arnez J. I believe they'd be Dope interviews as well. Keep Up the Energy, It's funny seeing You without Your Straw. Your straw was Your UnOfficial Hype Man😂 #StayHumbled 💪🏿🤴🏾🖤
I'm laughing my ass off at the fact that I can't tell is Pierre telling Chris to wrap up that Donald Duck Impression, lolol.
😂😂😂😂. You wanted it to go on for and 5mins?
That's cool that you would bring a old school comic on. What happen to Comic, "Hamburger" and" Shucky Duckie".
Quack quack lol
I just worked with Hamburger
Pierre don't let Chris answer the question before he cutting him off and asking another one. Damn!!!
Absolute Legend!!!🙌🏿🙌🏿
Good 2 see he still representin'..since the mid 80z..RapCity.
Woe! That Trouble T Roy story! Never heard the details
It's great to see Chris Thomas! Last time I saw him, I was performing with a group at Club Elite in our beloved DMV area.
