When Deon Cole was 21, his friend offered him $50 to get up on stage and perform. He’s been hooked on standup ever since. For 25 years, Cole has made a career of examining the African American experience—pulling humor from pain and juxtaposing black and white culture. Since starring on the ABC sitcom Black-ish, Cole has earned a spin-off role in Grown-ish, which will focus on black college students, much like the Cosby Show spin-off A Different World. When’s he’s not acting, he writes for comedian Conan O’Brien’s late-night show and co-hosts the comedy game show Face Value on BET.
