Cedric The Entertainer Breaks Down Why Comedian Malik S. Was Ready For His Own Comedy Special

Posted Jan 10, 2026

Cedric The Entertainer and comedian Malik S. sit down with Jill Munroe to talk Malik’s new comedy special titled Laughing Voodoo — a comedy special rooted in lived experience, authenticity, and storytelling from Malik’s point of view.

Malik shares how seeing The Kings of Comedy changed his life, why he waited until the material was fully ready before approaching Cedric, and how real-life experiences — not AI — shape his comedy.

Cedric breaks down his directing approach, mentorship philosophy, and why Laughing Voodoo deserved a cinematic, intimate treatment.

The special, presented and distributed by Ali Siddiq, premieres January 11, 2026, at 3 PM.
