In this clip with Michael Blackson, Vlad discussed the financial challenges in the global entertainment industry. Vlad recalled earning more from a single interview than from his biggest DJ gig overseas despite the extensive travel and effort involved. Blackson shared similar sentiments, turning down numerous overseas opportunities due to what he perceived as a lack of respect and adequate compensation for entertainers. Particularly, Blackson pointed out the disparity between the earnings of American and non-American comics, especially in the UK. Mentioning Ricky Gervais as an exception, Vlad agreed that only a handful of British comedians seem to earn considerable paychecks, citing a lack of appreciable financial opportunities for Black comedians in the UK. Michael Blackson further emphasized that a comedian's recognition and pay scale increase considerably in the U.S. compared to other countries.
