*Jess Hilarious was considering a career as a mortician before pursuing her comedic dreams.
“So… I started because… I had got fired from this job, right?” she explained during an appearance on OWN’s “Girlfriends Check In, MadameNoire reports. “The reason why was because I don’t get along with — people! So let me do something where people don’t have to talk to me. I went to school for mortuary science, right.”
The comedian also noted that working with the deceased has its downsides.
“Yeah you know, dead people can’t talk so they can’t get you fired,” Jess went on. “I didn’t realize if you put too much embalming fluid in one part of the body, other parts will start moving, which is worse than real people talking. So I was like, you know what, I’m just going to do comedy, cuz that’s where I need to be.”
She added, “I was like I can’t do nothing with dead people so the opposite of that is life and laughter.”
Meanwhile, Jess recently called out fellow comedian Steve Harvey over a post shared on his X account, the platform formally known as Twitter. Harvey wrote, “A Comedian you don’t find funny at all?”
Jess responded during her appearance on “The Breakfast Club” on Aug. 22. She shared a clip from the show on Instagram with the caption, “Hopefully he was hacked… was this appropriate etiquette for an original King Of Comedy? Or am I tripping? Maybe it’s me but that s—t made me side eye him for a second!”
Breakfast Club hosts Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy suggested one of Harvey’s social media minions wrote the post.
“This don’t seem like Steve Harvey behavior,” Jess added. “Even with ‘Family Feud,’ I still don’t feel like this was a good question. Because like, in today’s world right now where everything is already negative on social media, like, any and everything, by our own people, I’ma say that, um for you to post something like that, is clownin’.”
Charlemagne Tha God said, “I highly doubt he tweeted it.”
And he was right! One of Harvey’s employees made the post in an attempt to spark engagement with his fans.
The “Family Feud” host explained in a video message posted to X on Friday that an unidentified employee “put a statement out that was totally negative.”
“I gotta take responsibility for it ’cause they work for me, but the engagement was talking about, ‘name a comedian you don’t think is funny,’” Harvey said.
“Why would I do something like that? That don’t even make no damn sense,” he added.
“So here it is: I’m sorry. My bad, y’all. Won’t happen again, though,” Harvey said.
