Cedric the Entertainer was born on Cedric Kyles, April 24, 1964 in Jefferson City, Missouri. The self-dubbed title "The Entertainer" comes from his early days as a comedian when he also sang and danced. Cedric spent his younger years as a comedian as well, voted "most popular" and "most humorous" by his high school classmates. He began his career doing stand-up comedy, winning several comedy contests and performing at various comedy clubs nationwide. In 1992, he made his first TV appearance on It's Showtime at the Apollo. Soon after, he would appear on HBO's Def Comedy Jam and BET's ComicView, which he would later host for the 1994-95 season. In 1994, Cedric also won the Richard Pryor Comic of the Year Award from BET. In 1996, Cedric moved into acting, playing Steve Harvey's friend, Cedric Jackie Robinson, on his sitcom, The Steve Harvey Show. His acting career grew and he began appearing in several movies, including Big Momma's House, Dr. Dolittle 2, Barbershop, Barbershop 2, Serving Sara, Johnson Family Vacation, Intolerable Cruelty, Man of the House,Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Be Cool. He was the subject of a major controversy when his 'Barbershop' character made unsavory remarks regarding Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. and Ms. Rosa Parks. He has never formally apologized for comments his character made in the film. It should be noted that the lines his character spoke were written by the film's screenwriter and are unrelated to Cedric's own views.
