Deon Cole on Funny Knowing You & What He’ll Address at the NAACP Image Awards | BET Talks

Описание: Deon Cole pulls up to BET Talks exactly how you’d expect: honest, unfiltered, and allergic to nonsense. Sitting down with Miabelle, Deon talks legacy, peace, and the kind of success nobody warns you about—the part that forces you to unlearn everything you thought you wanted.

Fresh off returning as host of the NAACP Image Awards, Deon breaks down what it really means to hold that stage, where the lines are drawn, and which moments still live rent-free in his mind. From reading the room to letting the crowd guide the comedy, he explains how intention matters just as much as timing when the culture is watching.

The conversation shifts from laughs to life as Deon opens up about Funny Knowing You, choosing self over situationships, and why protecting your peace is non-negotiable. He gets candid about redefining success, letting go of what no longer serves him, and how experiences like South Africa reshaped his perspective beyond comedy.

And before it wraps, Deon clears up the myths, reflects on the legacy he’s building on his own terms, and leaves viewers with final thoughts that hit just as hard as the punchlines.

This episode is funny, reflective, and real—proof that growth can still crack jokes while telling the truth.
