Comedian, actor, and music producer Ontonio Kareem joins Devon on the show this week to publicly thank the rapper Smino, reveal that he auditioned for the movie “Roll Bounce,” and to posit that Too $hort might need to stop getting featured on songs. 

Ontonio Kareem is a New York-based comedian, writer, actor and music producer under the moniker KIRA. Ontonio’s awkward upbringing in Chicago is to blame for his uniquely introspective and subdued art style. His unique comedy has gained national attention, leading him to appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Don't Tell Comedy, and tour nationally.  

Ontonio has amassed millions of views on Instagram/Tik Tok and is currently a staple at the legendary Comedy Cellar in New York. You can also catch him in his role as DJ on NBC's “Chicago Fire.”As KIRA, his debut EP "It’s a Long Way Down" was featured on Soulection Beats Radio.
