In the latest episode of Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe welcomes the hilarious Karlous Miller, a standout comedian of his generation. Known for his incredible improvisational skills, Karlous has taken the comedy scene by storm, performing to sold-out crowds across the nation and internationally. As a co-host and creator of the hit podcast and improv show 85 South, which debuted at number one on Netflix, he brings a unique blend of humor and insight to the conversation.

Join Shannon and Karlous as they dive into his roots in Oxford, Mississippi, where he grew up in a lively family of eight siblings. Karlous reflects on the joys and challenges of being the eldest sibling, sharing how his upbringing shaped his comedic voice. The duo shares laughs as Karlous recounts his early days in the entertainment industry, from his brief stint as a firefighter to his journey through various jobs that helped him hone his craft. Karlous opens up about his swift transition to comedy just weeks after moving to Atlanta, performing at the iconic Twisted Taco and quickly immersing himself in the city’s nightlife. His stories are filled with warmth and laughter, touching on everything from the adrenaline rush of performing live to delivering pizza to football legends like Eli Manning.

Shannon and Karlous share a humorous exchange on modern dating, debating the acceptability of going Dutch and reflecting on changing expectations in romance. They discuss the best places to meet partners, agreeing that work complicates things and that online dating isn’t for everyone. Karlous emphasizes traditional dating etiquette, insisting that men should always pay on the first date—a non-negotiable for him—while noting how dating expectations have shifted over time.

Karlous shares his journey from growing up watching iconic comedy shows like Def Comedy Jam and Comic View to becoming a recognized figure in the comedy scene. He discusses the influence of Jamie Foxx and how comedians can leverage television opportunities to showcase their versatility and connect with audiences on a deeper level, emphasizing the importance of showing various layers beyond just comedy. Karlous also reflects on his experiences working with prominent figures in the industry, including Mo'Nique and Keenen Ivory Wayans, highlighting the balance of respect and assertiveness that defines successful collaborations. He candidly shares insights into his path on Last Comic Standing, revealing that, despite its competitive nature, he found value in simply being part of the experience rather than focusing solely on the prize.
