Summary

This week on The Pre-Game, we're sitting down with a certified renaissance man, actor and artist Olly Sholotan. We get into his iconic reimagining of Carlton Banks on 'Bel-Air', his latest single 'Hot Shot', and the time Kelly Rowland cupped his face at an Oscars party. It was destiny, child! Plus, we break down Olly's love for Las Vegas and answer the hard-hitting question: Is Las Vegas the Miami of the West Coast?
