Michael Blackson says the real reviews of a comedy club can't be found online, but in the parking lot ... 'cause you only need to look at a comic's car to judge his talent.

00:00I was at one of P. Diddy's freak-offs.
00:02Freak-offs.
00:04You saw celebrities there that you recognized.
00:07Mm-hmm.
00:07It was a rapper that we all know.
00:10Straight-up porn directed by Diddy.
00:13I'm just grateful to have made it out.
00:17Bro, the comedy money pays this good?
00:19Man, you gotta be funny to get the car like this, man.
00:21I reckon.
00:22Can you judge how funny a comedian is by, you know, the value of his car?
00:26Oh, definitely.
00:27You're hilarious, my guy.
00:28I appreciate that, obviously.
00:30Coming to America, a little poor kid that had nothing.
00:33I mean, I went from a shelter home, where I wore hand-me-down clothes,
00:37to driving this car, which is way above my dreams, okay?
00:41I bet.
00:42The dream of a kid coming from Africa is to just get a little job,
00:45make some money, send $100 a week or a month home to your family to help them.
00:51And then now, look, I'm driving a freaking, almost a half a million dollar car.
00:55Did you get this car as kind of like a, I made it type?
00:59Yeah.
00:59It was kind of like I made it type.
01:01And also, we live in Hollywood or whatever, where image is everything, unfortunately.
01:06Yeah.
01:06And there are some people out there that don't believe in spending crazy money and stuff,
01:10but here, image is everything.
01:11People treat you by what you have and what you're worth.
01:14Should I buy a Rolls then?
01:15Even though you can't afford it, get one of the motherfuckers, man.
01:18Go buy a Rolls, and you'll pick up the prettiest girls.
01:23Everybody will pay attention to you.
01:24You put up to the restaurant, they'll put your car in front of everybody thinking you're somebody.
01:28You know, they'll be like, who is this guy?
01:30Yeah.
01:30You know, they'll probably think you're like a dehydrated version of Kurt Russell.
01:36So you got a Rolls.
01:38What's your dream car?
01:39If you can trade up from this, if you get even funnier, even richer, what are you aiming for?
01:45A G5!
01:46Okay. Thank you, Michael.
