Comedian Michael Blackson discussed his life as a stand-up performer and his opinion on a recent SAG strike during an interview with host Vlad. Blackson emphasized the importance of actors and writers on screen as they draw viewers to TV shows. He also revealed that stand-up comedy is his most lucrative career path, with one weekend earning him $150,000, something he's never made from movies or TV shows. Blackson expressed how he enjoys the freedom of a stand-up comedian, being able to book his own gigs and not relying on Hollywood or a major deal. However, he confessed that years of constant traveling have taken a toll on him, leading to a renewed focus on his acting career. He emphasized the significance of the SAG strike to ensure that actor earnings and residuals are fairly paid, particularly with the rise of streaming platforms.
