Smith, I was just watching his HBO special last week, he was a funny cat.

WHOA!!! Blew my mind when I saw this. Fam was funny as hell.
I’m shocked he lived as long as he did to be quite honest, BUT he was funny as hell and will be missed.
My favorite line “Did you see a tall, blonde, black woman come through here?” It is from “Car Wash”. May he rest in peace.
