Comedian Capone Lee delves into his experiences with industry legends Steve Harvey and Paul Mooney. Capone recounts a personal disappointment when Steve Harvey, during their time working at the Apollo, allegedly expressed dissatisfaction with Capone's presence and style by making dismissive remarks. Harvey, known for his impeccable dressing, reportedly cut Capone's stage time and insinuated that his own attire was the epitome of proper dressing, in contrast to Capone's leather ensemble. Despite these issues, Capone maintains respect for Harvey, citing admiration for his style and career.
Additionally, Capone touches on a puzzling incident with the late Paul Mooney, who initially refused to shake his hand but later praised his comedic talent, attributing the earlier slight to Mooney's aversion to germs. On a positive note, Capone credits Whoopi Goldberg for significantly advancing his career. She advocated for him to take on a more prominent role as host at the Apollo, where he continues to thrive and host Amateur Night, solidifying his legacy in the comedy world.
