Comedian Anderson T. Hall pulled up to The Spadez Table for an episode packed with laughs, heated debates, and real talk. The D.C. native broke down everything from the Washington Commanders’ playoff hopes to the unpredictable world of going viral, all while navigating a rowdy game of Spades.
Hall, a die-hard Washington Commanders fan, didn’t hold back when discussing his team’s postseason chances. He and the hosts clashed over football allegiances, with a few jabs thrown at the Dallas Cowboys. Despite his confidence in Washington, Hall couldn’t resist cracking jokes about the team’s rocky history and the unrealistic dream of a Super Bowl win.
Hall opened up about his journey in comedy, including the moment his career changed forever—his first viral video. The clip, a comedic take on the January 6th Insurrection, took off unexpectedly, giving him a taste of internet fame. However, he kept it real about the other side of comedy: bombing on stage. “Every comedian goes through it,” he admitted, recalling his first nerve-wracking performance at an open mic.
When asked about his comedic influences, Hall listed Lavel Crawford, Paul Mooney, Deion Cole, Kevin Hart, and Richard Pryor as his top five, giving flowers to the legends who paved the way.
The conversation took a turn toward technology, with Hall weighing in on the growing concerns around a potential TikTok ban. He broke down how the move could shake up the social media landscape, especially for creators who’ve built their platforms on the app. The comedian also had some choice words about tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg, adding his signature humor to the debate on big tech’s influence.
Beyond stand-up, Hall has his eyes on the big screen. He revealed that he was once part of a musical group called Dirty Butt Entertainment and is now focused on taking his comedic talents to film. With an upcoming project, New Balance Boys, in the works, Hall is determined to leave his mark in Hollywood.
Of course, no episode of The Spadez Table is complete without a competitive game of Spades. The players playfully argued over rules, accused each other of cheating, and calculated ways to dodge taking shots. But in the middle of the chaos, the group took a moment to honor a late friend, raising their glasses in a heartfelt toast.
