It took time for Hart to develop a unique comedic style. After an early period of attempting to imitate comedians like Chris Tucker, he found his own rhythm by delving into his insecurities and life experiences. "Because of what I do, it has to be an open book," he has said. "But right now this is a book that is being written."
Hart's comedic style can be described as routines based on his racial, physical, familial and gender role experiences. His stand-up frequently invokes self-deprecation, derived from his experiences as a shorter-than-median (5'2"), black, adult male, with an extended black family, trying to navigate his career and personal paths in life. He frequently talks about his fears of being less than ideally physically gifted, the resulting ways in which they intersect with his masculinity, sexuality, traditional male gender role, as well as the experiences and dynamics of his social interactions, and how he fails to live up to the traditional definitions and notions of them.
Recently a fued between Hart and Katt Williams began when Hart said, “My frustration with Katt Williams comes from, you keep pointing at Hollywood. ‘Hollywood this, the White man this and this,’ when are you going to take responsibility for your actions? You had the shot! You were the guy! You were set up to be the star. YOU didn’t show up to work. YOU f*cked off promo shoots. YOU f*cked off your promo trips that they set up for you. You became a risk to the studios, which is why the studios stopped f*cking with you.”
Katt Williams responded telling ebony.com, "After calling Hart a “f*ck a*s ni**a,” on Instagram Live, Williams claimed the Night School actor pays Los Angeles gang members for protection. Even still, Williams is ready to go toe-to-toe."
[Editor's note: Katt Williams was arrested on Sunday, October 7, 2018 for assault involving a limo driver.]
WOW. Sounds like a good evening to reminisce about Roy Orbison. Orbison was born in Texas, the small town of Vernon, Vernon is in Wilbarger, Texas and is the county seat. This is near the panhandle in northern Texas.

high school. He was signed by Sam Phillips, of Sun Records, in 1956, but his greatest success came with Monument Records. From 1960 to 1966, twenty-two of his singles reached the Billboard Top 40, and he wrote or co-wrote almost all that rose to the Top 10, including "Only the Lonely" (1960), "Running Scared" (1961), "Crying" (1961), "In Dreams" (1963), and "Oh, Pretty Woman" (1964). What a catalog.
