Deon Cole on Damon Wayans Quitting Standup After Cosby Joke Backlash

In this VladTV Flashback from 2016, Deon Cole spoke on a run-in he had on an elevator in New York City with Damon Wayans. Wayans told Cole that he’d quit standup after receiving backlash over a Bill Cosby joke he did on the Breakfast Club. “It hurt me to see how sad he was in a sense because he told me he retired. He told me he retired from standup.” Cole says since then; Wayans was questioned about the EgyptAir plane that crashed in May and his response was simply, “I’m an American, I no longer have an opinion.”
