David Alan Grier
The comedy legend David Alan Grier gets into it all with Dan Le Batard on South Beach Sessions, from being raised in a proud, black household, being in awe of the other talent on 'In Living Color', and being the most confident and inspired now after four decades in entertainment.

Show Notes
If you don’t get excited to see David Alan Grier, then something is seriously wrong. Like, please, go figure that out… we’ll wait.
David’s got 40 years of experience on the stage and screen - the craftsman of both comedy and drama with the awards to prove it. He didn’t start out as a Tony-winning actor, though… David tells Dan about how his upbringing shaped his lifelong curiosity, from getting his start in comedy as a class clown, to his father’s history as a Black activist and David’s own attempt to join the Black Panther Party. David reflects on the incredible legacy and enduring magic behind “In Living Color”, his approach to the art of balancing comedy and drama today – and how both, coupled with kindness, can help us get through dark times.
David stars in the new NBC hit comedy, “St. Denis Medical”, streaming now on Peacock.
