Coline Witt welcomes comedian, actor, and podcast host 'Clayton English' back to 'Eating While Broke' after their past cheap Chinese wings combo “fiasco.” They joke about fried rice, bottle and red Solo cup “measurements,” and broke-food hacks. Then, Clayton makes 'breakfast for dinner': instant cheese grits, rolled cheesy eggs, and budget turkey links.

Over the meal, Clayton opens up about growing up with a single mom who worked her way up at IBM, his dad being in and out, and how recurring “pancakes for dinner” nights were a clear sign money was tight. He shares how humor helped him early on, why he started stand-up in his mid-20s after college, and the breaks that helped shape his career—plus lessons from early financial missteps.

They also talk about Clayton’s comedy journey and credits, including 'Robert Townsend’s 'Partners in Crime', 'Who’s Got Jokes?', 'Tyler Perry’s 'House of Payne', winning 'Last Comic Standing', building his 'English Majors' podcast during the pandemic, upcoming voice work on 'Megan Thee Stallion’s anime', and why relationships and getting paid matter in entertainment.
