“I booked T.I. on the Wild N Out tour to close out the show as a musical guest and I am super excited to be the first one to bring him to New York to perform as a comedian,” he told AllHipHop. “I’ve been seeing the posts of his comedy performances in Atlanta and he did a good job at Shaq’s All-Star Comedy Jam in LA. I can’t wait to see him perform live at Barclays Center…and you know the BK audience don’t play.”
In the last few months, T.I. has emerged as a funny man as videos of him performing stand-up in clubs emerged.

The comedy show had been postponed for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but Michaels brought it back as restrictions have been eased dramatically nation-wide.
