Summary

If you don’t get excited to see David Alan Grier, then something is seriously wrong. Like, please, go figure that out… we’ll wait. David’s got 40 years of experience on the stage and screen - the craftsman of both comedy and drama with the awards to prove it. He didn’t start out as a Tony-winning actor, though… David tells Dan about how his upbringing shaped his lifelong curiosity, from getting his start in comedy as a class clown, to his father’s history as a Black activist and David’s own attempt to join the Black Panther Party. David reflects on the incredible legacy and enduring magic behind “In Living Color”, his approach to the art of balancing comedy and drama today – and how both, coupled with kindness, can help us get through dark times. David stars in the new NBC hit comedy, “St. Denis Medical”, streaming now on Peacock. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1:15.6	Thank you for the help.
1:17.6	I've admired your work for a long time and I will tell the people one of the most legendary
