Tony Baker On Finding The Blessings In Tragedy, Hip-Hop Influences, T.I.'s Stage Etiquette + More 

Man Tony showed so much love!!!🥺🥺🥺

We laughed with him, cried with him during his loss, and witnessed a crazy strength to come back to make us laugh again. Riding with Tony till the wheels fall off 👌🏾

🥺❤️ my boo did it. Thanks to everyone who requested his presence. 🙌🏽❤️

If there is a brother who deserves this platform, Tony is one of them. Get Kev on Stage, Tahir. And their whole crew on here.

I lost my son in Nov 2021. I will say watching Tony deal with his grief helped so much. 🎉

I love Tony Baker. You can tell he's just an authentic person.

So proud of Tony. All of KevOnStage's crew/friends are winning right now, and they all make sure to shout him out! Proud subscriber of the KevOnStage Studios Streaming Service. Support that positive black owned business!

I can't stop smiling Tony Baker is on the breakfast club

Lets go Tony!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

You can tell what kind of person Tony is by the fact that every comment here is so positive and shows how much pride people have in his success

Why do I legit feel so proud and connected to this person? I know Tony gives us his comedic persona, but he feels like family. Everything he does I want to support and share. I sat here smiling this entire interview.

About time Tony Baker is getting the recognition he deserves. I use to love his RU-vid channel where he did movie and tv show reviews, that’s how I learned about him. Salute TBC!

This brother deservers everything positive that comes his way. Every interview I've seen him in, he's always humble. Always respectful. Always engaging. Genuinely funny, too. Just a legit dude.

This man is a national treasure. From his animal videos to his handling of his sons passing… I’ve learned so much from him… My son passed in 2020 and the horror was unbearable until a friend of mine matter of a factly suggested I watch Chris Rock’s Tambourine. I laughed and listened as CR shared his pain with such wit and candor it helped me to understand why comedy and tragedy are two sides of the same coin. I remembered watching ‘The Road to Perdition’ and in one scene at a funeral this guy kept laughing… his laughter finally prompted a kid to ask him why he kept laughing. The man replied, ‘because it is all so fucking hilarious’… ironically, it actually is funny. Literally and figuratively.

This felt like a conversation and that’s how interviews should be. Love that Tony kept them on their feet asking them questions..kind of wanted them to mention the voiceovers as well though ❤️

About time Tony Baker is getting his shine. Love his movie reviews.

Tony Baker is one of the best comedians of this new generation of comics. 👏🏽

This has me in tears. So proud of Tony and happy for him. He’s a genuine person who deserves EVERY bit of this love and recognition. I’m a lifelong supporter of the entire KevOnStage family. I’m in here ❤️❤️

🥲… Damn. Go Tony. This interview was fully moisturized.

Something about Tony’s energy cracks you up but makes you want to hug and protect him at the same time❤️

Tony is a legend and doesn’t get the credit he deserves. His way of processing grief is inspirational. Really wish him and his fam the best and hope everybody starts giving this man his credit. Him and Kev are too good at what they do.

Tony ABSOLUTELY deserved this publicity… I hope y’all “FEEL EVERY PIECE “ of this interview 🤣🤣😭congrats 🎉 Tony Baker

Tony’s animal voice overs are out of this world. He’s the best at it. He deserves all of his flowers now.

Love Tony man...im born and raised in the san fernando valley so burbank is a 10 minute drive for me...i went and paid my respects to his son at the corner where the accident happened...I just had my first son 6 months ago and hearing him talk about his loss again had me crying like hell thinking of my boy ...I paused the video and prayed for you brother may he RIP and may you find more 🙏

If you’ve been following Tony then you understand just how great he is and look no further than the positive comments and even Angela and Charlemagne’s gracious attitude towards him…he’s just a genuine guy everyone is rooting for, and he is damn good at what he does

His animal voiceover work is the stuff of legend.

I lost my son on his 7th birthday, 14 years ago. It never gets easier. But I Definitely make jokes and laugh in order to stay sane. I feel you. And again my condolences 🕊

"Envy'll be here not knowing who the guest is" 😂😂😂 facts!

So happy to see Tony 🥺 I feel like we’ve gone through so much with him. He has shown that you don’t Need Netflix specials or any big brands in order to make it and make your dreams a reality . Also, I respect him a lot as a human being . It’s good to see this after following him for so many years.

Loved this interview, I follow Tony and he seems like just a genuinely kind person. So sorry that he lost his son, but can still laugh at life. Even more respect for him now.

Let’s Goooo🗣 Tony Baker has been bringing joy to everyone’s lives way before, during and after quarantine! the ultimate 🐐💪🏾 He has helped me laugh through my grief 🙌🏾💔forever my hero 🍞🔥👏🏾

Man happy for Tony.I started following this guy when he only had a few thousands followers on IG and he would DM you to thank you for following.This guy is pure motivation.

Seeing Tony here feels like watching your family win. Proud of this guy.

You feel the pain even more when you know the person going thru it is so genuine, sweet, and wholesome. Glad you are doing well Tony!

CTG….I salute your growth, it looks alot cooler when you show guest respect and love instead of insulting and trying to get a reaction , this interview had dope energy from everybody! Good stuff

Tony Baker is a good brother who is well overdue to receive his roses 🌹. Kept me laughing and uplifted through the quarantine. Keep shining bro

This was dope, Tony is on my Mount Rushmore. No Netflix or HBO special required. I’m glad you guys connected with him. Definitely one of those that deserve it

Feel every piece of this interview... great job Tony, you deserve this!!!!

Maaaaaan tony is up in there, YOU SEE IT!!! super proud of him ❤ he deserves everything and more. Congrats to tony, Kevin, and the entiiiiire crew. Im cheering every single one of y'all on and a faithful subscriber to the KOS app 🙌🏼

I never heard of Tony until now and wow I’m such a fan !! He felt like he belonged on the BFC. He is so personable. I wanted to hear more from him. I can’t wait to see what he has next

Loved Tony since I watched him on OG All Def Digital. Between his villainy (water tower), "I never knewwwwww", animal voice overs, etc he kept me cackling. Glad to see him get his shine and continue to push through after losing his son. His son is walking with him through all of his blessings.

This is my favorite interview now. Tony Baker is probably the funniest human being on the planet. And on top of that, he's a genuinely good person. So happy to witness him rise.

Big fan of Tony's since All Def. Nice to see you're getting more and more exposure everyday. Well deserved

I had the liberty of meeting him in person and he was a very genuine, humble guy. What you see is what you get, and yes he definitely deserves whatever good comes his way! Awesome soul of a brother!

Who's watching from the Stage Krew or from the Bakery? We love you Tony..

Tony is one of the most humble and deserving of everything that is coming to him, I love him finally getting his flowers ❤️ 🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞

Every time I see him I think about his son. It was so tragic because I’ve known of Tony for years. They used to make RU-vid videos together. Tragic situation. Happy for Tony tho!

Love Tony Baker!! He was in rare form during this interview. I wish him nothing but the best and hope he gets his just due!! He deserves a national spotlight 👏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾

This was an amazing interview he literally felt like he belonged there like he needed to be on the show permanently 👏🏾🙏🏾

Tony Baker is one of my favs. I’m so glad y’all interviewed him. My prayers go out to him on the loss of his son.

I’m so happy for Tony, he’s naturally funny and seems to just have an overall good spirit.

Been following Tony for 5 years now, the amount of growth in the past 3 has been amazing to see. So happy to see him get this exposure cause he works non stop. Very happy he shouted out his crew (Daddy Issues members including Keenan Baker & Brandon Lewis) along with KevOnStage. All are likable entertainers.

So happy to see Tony on this platform, well deserved! Strong dude and he can inspire a lot of people dealing with tremendous grief. ✊🏿 With the envy question - "What's your top 5 grieving moments when your son passed?" omfg 😂🤣😭

I needed to hear this 🙌 😭I lost 2 adult sons (twins) to accidents. One 3/11/17 and then his brother 12/19/18. I hadn't come close to accepting my first son Nick's (age 29) death and was floored and couldn't even absorb the surreal reality of losing my other son Blake (31). It's destroyed our close single parent family of 4 and left my daughter (7 years younger than her brothers) and I to complete despair and brutal brutal suffering I wouldn't wish on anyone. I haven't seen my girl in over 5 months because I think it brings up memories too unbearable for her and while she's lost herself to the streets I am in the same boat. The ONLY thing I have to hang onto like a life preserver when life keeps kicking my ass is that I can see the humor, irony, and ridiculousness of life and people always comment how fortunate that is to have as a coping mechanism. I just found this video and watched it 2x already. I'm glad to hear that there maybe a chance of some kind of peace. Thank you 💗

I remember seeing Tony a long time ago on a show called Last Comic Standing. This was way b4 the voice overs. I don’t even think IG was out yet. He didn’t win but I remember thinking “man, that dude was funny” and was actually confused because he was funnier than a lot of the cast imo. Lol funny cause as I write this they started talking about it. Anyway I’m so glad 2 see how far he’s come. I’m not even super sensitive but cried when he lost his son. As a parent, that one hits u hard. Keep thriving and keep shining brother. Much love. I try not 2 be on social media a lot but ur one of the people I actually check 4. U bring brightness 2 my day.

Tony Baker! Is this true? He's so underrated. You've made it to The Breakfast Club--Congrats! That was so big of you to shout out KevOnStage--stellar! I wish you nothing but peace & prosperity! Celeste, in the ATL 🌻

Tony Baker is my favorite comedian right now. Good looking out for the shout to KevOnStage App too. Black owned production company doing big things.

Aye! Stage Krew in the house!! Love that Tony is getting all is his flowers. The breakfast club finally saw what in the hemoglobin and haberdashery was going on 😂

Few people I've never met that I can say that I feel I love wholeheartedly! Tony is a huge talent, big heart and deserves all the good things in life. Happy to see him on here and living life as honestly and humorously as he can 🙌🏾💜

The shout out to KevOnStage was big. I love how they stick together.

The brilliance of this interview is that Tony said he wanted to interview TBC and if you listen, he's definitely interviewing them

I give this interview 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷 5 saxophones out of 5. Good job Tony. Always a blessing to see this guy keep going. 🙏🏾

I've been a big fan of Alldef! Roast me kills me! Seeing Tony here made my night! Working graveyard. I wasn't aware of his loss, like damn... this man is strong. Idk how I can handle a loss. I wish him the highest success. 🙏 Much love ♥️

Usually, I don't purposely watch things that I know would pull at the heartstrings but the way Tony is able to let you feel his pain and make you laugh at the same time..... just 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😭❤

Love Tony, glad he's finally getting his shine. Well deserved

For those of us who have been following Tony Baker every since the “Praise God” raccoon years, this is truly a momentous occasion! My heart is truly smiling for him!!!! Who ever kneeeeeew we would make it to the Breakfast Club?! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

There was more and is more to him!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 but 😡😡😡!! Hurry back Tony!!!

Tony Baker’s comedy got me through some hard moments in my life. I was excited to see this interview!

Man, what an awesome interview. I love Tony Baker - I'm so inspired by his humility and willingness to share his journey with his fans and the broader audience. He was so good that he made Charlemagne and Angela even better! I can't wait for him to come back again!

It felt like I was on BC as long as I’ve been rockin with Tony. This was a win for ALL of us & ALL DEF! Next on BC….KevOnStage😁

A nice long interview, as it should have been. Shows how genuine he is, much love & respect from the 206 Tony..!

It's good that a lot of new people are going to be exposed to Tony. He's truly one of the funniest comedians out there

Tony is very humble and doesn’t give off the energy that he has more and is better although he may have more and may be better in certain categories. Feels like a normal friend with normal views.

This man will be crowned a legend in the near future! Naturally hilarious!!!! Creative & unique!!!! I love Tony Baker

What I loved about this interview was they never mentioned his animal voiceovers. I love them but his comedy is so much more than those videos. Great interview!

He so deserves this moment 😊

Love Tony Baker. Extremely difficult as a parent to see him dealing with his loss. That said it is also very inspirational. A lot of people are sleeping on him comedically. Great to see him on your show!💯

Brought the biggest smile to my face this morning seeing TB on here! Well deserved🎉👏🏽🎊

I've been waiting for this interview! Thank you Breakfast Club! Tony's humor has picked me up at some of my lowest moments. ❤🖤💚

My daughter nearly died at birth was and had 2 weeks of worry before we had a okay to hold be sure she was going to be okay that broke me and my wife to raise love and lose a child and to smile on and try keep doing what he doing is a show of character and strength 👌🏻

Tony is going to be on the "Keep Your Distance" comedy show 4/15/2022...Get your tickets on Eventbrite. 🎬🎬🎬 #SK #ThaBakery

He’s speaking facts. When my mom passed away the funeral home told me I couldn’t see her because it had to be closed casket. They opened the casket and it was a black bag. To this day I struggle with this. On the receipt they charged me all kinds of things that I never verified. Death is hard

YESSSSIRRR! This man is the real deal. Sometimes he dont even be tryna be funny and I find myself laughing more than I should!

Tony is a remarkable man his views on death changed my life.

I was unfamiliar with Tony Baker prior to this interview, but I rock with him now. I'm sure Tony gained a lot of new followers on social media after this interview. Tony's taste in rap music is on point, too.

I screamed when I saw this like I know Tony personally 🤣. So glad to see he made it on the Breakfast Club and see his progression. I love me some Tony Baker. Best stand-up I have seen live

It’s crazy because I found Tony through his movie reviews. I didn’t know he did comedy until mid last year

To watch as a long time fan him appear on The breakfast club it's like I'm watching a dream, I am so proud of him he works so hard to get this far and he's only at the beginning, Tony Baker's going to do big numbers in the future

Tony Baker one of my favs!!!! Congratulations!!!

Tony Baker is SO DOPE!!! Was truly HAPPY to see him on the breakfast club!!

Man, Tony is a RAPIDLY rising star in this comedy game!!!! Glad he finally got this well-deserved opportunity. I mean, to date, almost 7k likes and ZERO thumbs down. That’s the kind of vibes that Tony brings!

I’m so happy to see Tony getting the recognition he deserves. He’s so humble and always willing to work. Such a positive spirit. I pray he continues to succeed. I hope CThaGod works with Tony on his own. Tony is very intelligent

Shoutout to Tony Baker. Happy to see him on The Breakfast Club. He seems like a great person.

Tony pulled up to the interview to give an interview. Asking the hard hitting questions. Love to see it.

My sympathy for him and his family. Didn't know he lost his son. Tony is a very hilarious dude. Hope he makes it big.
