Cedric is no stranger to TV hosting, with a stint on Comicview and the game show It’s Worth What? He’s also starring with Niecy Nash on the TV Land sitcom The Soul Man which has its third season premiere on March 26th.
The standup comic, actor and one-time foil to Steve Harvey on The Steve Harvey Show is a pretty versatile. He’s been in TV and movies, collecting plenty of nice checks along the way for his comedic roles. But he says he’s seen plenty funny moments as host of the show.
