Deon Cole—comedian, actor, writer, and producer—pulls up for a masterclass on craft and longevity. With Tank & J. Valentine, Deon breaks down the evolution from late-night writers’ rooms to Netflix specials (Charleen’s Boy) and dramatic turns on screen, the discipline it takes to build an hour, and how real life shapes the jokes. We get into timing, story, audience connection, and what it means to keep leveling up without losing your voice.
