Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan’s lifelong love of comedy was kindled when they met more than 40 years ago in graduate school in Seattle. While managing family and professional work responsibilities, they hosted a one hour comedy radio program on Saturday mornings for 10 years on a small radio station in Olympia, WA and also co-authored two books on northwest popular culture – Seattle on Film (1995) and Wet and Wired (2000). Stuck at home during the early days of the pandemic with hundreds of comedy albums, cassettes and CD’s gathering dust on their shelves, they launched Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy in May 2020, a weekly mini-program featuring a different comedy icon, with biographical bits and a nice slice of the comedy that made them famous. From standup stars, to stellar sketch teams, to novelty music maestros -- they are all part of our Legends.

Sometimes pointed, but always playful, Cedric the Entertainer first came to attention as host of BET's Def Comic Jam and Comic View programs. But it was in Spike Lee's classic "Kings of Comedy" that Cedric really got to own the stage, charming audiences with routines that mixed observational humor with some nice pokes at race relations. Cedric reached new heights as the salty Eddie the Barber in the Barbershop movie franchise and he now mixes acting (both comedic and dramatic) with his comedy career. As always, find extra cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows!

Eddie broke out to the nation in Spike Lee's hilarious Kings of Comedy. Here's a fun routine on why white America supports the space shuttle (and why it won't work out). https://youtu.be/fiTC8GfBFSE?
Cedric's iconic role is bound to be that of Eddie in the Barbershop movies. Eddie is sweet and salty, and some of his opinions are just a tad controversial. Here's a fun package of some of Eddie's best. https://youtu.be/zMuRN7w3Wsc?si=KwrUVTJGLDV64VEa
Cedric remains a top standup draw some thirty years after his start and it's no wonder -- his recent Netflix special shows him still full of playful charm. https://youtu.be/Qmz5U2Txi9E?si=x2AVEY70Rov3I9L5
