Comedian Michael Blackson returned to VladTV after seven years, reminiscing on his experience in the entertainment industry. Blackson shared his initial taste of fame after his brief appearance in the movie "Next Friday" in 2000, elevating him to an "instant huge star." Turning newfound fame into financial success, Blackson capitalized on opportunities, leading to an increased gig rate from $500 to $2,500 per gig. After hitting a lull around 2004, he moved to LA in search of new opportunities but faced challenges performing in various comedy clubs. Blackson's fortunes turned around with the advent of social media, where he began building an audience again. He also participated in a reality sitcom called "Live with Funny." Blackson expressed gratitude for his current position and shared his current schedule, including comedy shows across the country and philanthropic efforts in Africa.
