Cedric, Eddie Griffin and D.L. Hugely Cook Up Laughs At Soul Train Awards During Stressful Election Cycle

Cedric ‘The Entertainer’, Eddie Griffin, D.L. Hughley, and George Lopez brought the house down with laughs at the Soul Train Weekend “Comedy Get Down” show at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

George Lopez opened the night, warming the audience up with hilarious bits criticizing both presidential candidates and the state of this election season.

Actor and comedian Eddie Griffin followed, kicking things off slow with jokes about Vegas and quickly moving into topical Cosby impressions. He also touched on the election, saying he’s voting for Hillary Clinton because he wants to put “pimpin Bill Clinton” back in the White House.
