Bill Bellamy originally envisioned a career on Wall Street, majoring in economics at Rutgers University with aspirations of becoming a finance professional or a venture capitalist. However, it was his natural comedic talent, often showcased during light-hearted hosting gigs and talent shows on campus, that steered him in a different direction. As his popularity as a campus comedian grew, Bellamy found himself drawn more to the stage than the stock market.
His major turning point came when he landed a spot on Showtime at the Apollo. Known for its tough crowd, Bellamy was determined not to get booed, especially with his mother in the audience. In a high-pressure environment where even seasoned performers faced the wrath of the audience, Bellamy started his set with his strongest material and captivated the crowd, earning enough applause to be invited back. This breakthrough, bolstered by encouragement from comedian Sinbad, launched his career in comedy, proving his decision to pivot from finance to funny was right.
Every time I see bill I just get good energy I grew up watching him interview everyone on mtv good times
He’s almost 60 but has a 30ish demeanor. That’s cool. Keep your youthfulness, keeps you fresh.
I Love it!
Bill Bellamy will always be a great storyteller
Get well Sinbad!🙌🏿
Shout to Bill Bellamy legend he invented the term Booty Call
I remember that
Keith Sweat and Lexington Steele started on Wall Street. It's good to have a back up plan!!
😂 Interesting variety of examples
@@joojoobaw I heard Wesley Pipes did too 🔥
@@molaughs8712 Did he? Weren't he a stickup kid?
Always.
Keith Sweat and BB made something of themselves.I salute them.
Sinbad is definitely funny as ever! 💐
lmao 🤣 Sinbad is about as funny as Cancer or AIDS….he’s a PG comic, never laughed once at a single joke, terrible stand-up…..but i hope his health stays up 🙏
Ain't no one booed Bill in his early years. Him and Chris TuCker were that good
Lmao The Apollo. The lady in the front row EVERY week with the Jheri Curl lmFao
I love how Bill talk about his wife and kids. I respect men who does that. Bill interview Mike and Janet on MTV
I grew up in North Jersey I always wanted to be a business man with a suit going to Wall St.. lol I think that's an up north thing..
Is it me or does it look like he ran straight up out the barber chair without them finishing when Vlad called?! I would literally fight my barber if he ever gave me a hideous taper like that! That barber got his fading skills from Stevie Wonder!🫣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's not that maybe. Maybe a little bulk on the sides tho. Probably cuts his own hair.
@@Erniepotts I think you got it, he cut his own hair aaaaannndd it wasn’t recently lol
I fukd my fade up like that cutting my own hair b4. Who hasnt been there ?
He can afford ur best barber
Why every guest you grown man commenting on another man appearance
Rutgers is basically Ivy League, smart brother..
No. There is Ivy League and not ivy league. No in between
@@lseguy alright.. don't have the energy to argue. google: Rutgers declined ivy league status
Facts @@lseguy
@lseguy MIT and Stanford aren't Ivy League schools yet outrank several Ivy League schools academically. The term Ivy League has transformed over time to mean a school that's academically superior when that term was actually created as a way to establish a sports conference for a group of schools.
@@lseguytrue but it’s still other colleges outside of Ivy League hard to get into like Notre Dame, Rutgers, and Michigan. Go anywhere with a Notre Dame degree 📜 u getting the job
TH-cam the video where Bill is talking about the LL Cool J and Jamie Foxx beef, you're welcome 😁
Starting with the closer was a smart move.
FINALLY SOMEONE GOOD
Agreed
Dude gotta Boosie Spade Fade.
3:12 my boy Cousin Skeeter
Dude kinda look like 90s Martin Laurence
Nia Long's Character "Nina"in Love Jones was SCANDALOUS for going out with his Homeboy "Hollywood" and he a sucker for taking her back. That's all I have to say. I never looked at her the same. I mean it this time.
