Hail to the King

“You know Shaq well?” Cedric the Entertainer asks George Lopez while discussing All Star Comedy Jam, the comedy show he produced with the ex-Phoenix Suns baller last year, “Shaq is like a big kid. He like to Twitter and text and all that stuff – and he got them big fingers. Every now and then you get messages from him like, ‘Hey man, MM5533.’”

Now, after a wrestling stint and an appearance on Broadway, the hat-sporting humorist returns to his roots to crack wise about the commonplace.
