Williams started being a stand up comedian most notably appearing on BET Comic View. His jokes and punchlines instantly made him a show favorite. He has also played supporting characters in movies such as First Sunday, Norbit, and probably more widely recognized for his character in the movie Friday After Next as "Money Mike". He has also provided numerous skits and video appearances for artists such as The Game, Ludacris, T.I., E-40, Outkast, Lil’ Kim, Lyfe Jennings,Cyrano Williams, Nick Cannon, DJ Drama, Lil' Scrappy, Lil Jon, and others. He was a cast member on Wild 'n Out for several seasons. He also voices "A Pimp Named Slickback" on the Adult Swim's "The Boondocks".
In 2006, Williams starred on his own new stand-up HBO show, The Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1.
In 2008, Williams made news when he handed out $100 bills to audience members at one of his standup performances in Los Angeles' famed Laugh Factory comedy club.
Both Williams and his friend Walter O make cameo appearances in the 'Split Sides Comedy Club' in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV as themselves.
As a guest on The Tonight Show in February 2007, he spoke about the importance of adopting from foster care, stating "I got my kids right here, I didn’t have to go to Africa to do it. Amazingly enough, there are needy kids right down the street."
He has recently been seen in Ludacris "One more Drink" music video.
He is also a rapper on the Dipset Record Label.
Controversy and rumors
On Wednesday, November 5, 2008, he failed to appear as a scheduled guest on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien. This was the first time this had happened on the show since its debut in 1993. This absence lead to speculation that Williams was dead.[5]
During the early morning of Thursday, November 6, 2008, Williams was arrested on weapons charges in midtown Manhattan after police say they pulled him over for driving a car without license plates.[6] He was released on bail later that day in time for his show at Carnegie Hall.[6]
The following day, at Williams' appearance at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Nov. 7, Katt announced that he will make his final stand up performance on December 31, 2008, citing wear and tear on the road, the need to keep his family together, and a desire to help young up-and-coming comedy acts get their start.
On December 31, 2008, while performing at a New Year's Eve show in Detroit, Katt Williams began to blast Steve Harvey (The Original Kings of Comedy) for calling himself an original king of comedy. Katt stated that Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby are the original kings of comedy. He went on to say, "How can you be the original if you were not the first?"
Over the New Year weekend, Katt was slapped by a man at a club in Detroit while attempting to perform a comedy routine. Katt claimed the altercation was over some jewels he was wearing.
Psychiatric Evaluation
Friday, November 14, 2008, Katt was admitted to Tuomey Regional Medical Center in Sumter, South Carolina for a psychiatric evaluation after a string of incidents involving erratic behavior.[7]
According to reports from WIS News 10, Williams stopped by the Mt. Vernon Inn at around 8:30am on Friday Nov. 14, but did not check in after a motel clerk asked him for identification. He visited the offices of an attorney several hours later, and was transported to the hospital later that day.[8]
Following this visit, Williams cancelled his November 20 appearance at The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas.[9] In a statement to the press, Williams' publicist, Yvette Shearer, cited a hectic tour schedule as causing Williams "incredible" fatigue, and said that he has sought medical care.[9]

Katt Williams: The Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1 (2006):
Katt Williams: Now ladies don't be mad at me, I'm only callin' ya bitches cause I don't know your names individually.
Katt Williams: Bitches need to stop blaming all your problems on us. Stop tellin' a nigga,"You fucked up my self-esteem". Bitch it's called SELF-ESTEEM! It's esteem of your mothafuckin' self. How am I gonna fuck up how you feel about you simple bitch?
Katt Williams: I got shit in my house to make bitches feel comfortable. I got 2 pillows with silk covers on 'em so if a bitch come over and fuck around with a nigga she don't gotta mess up her god damn hair. I got alize at my house. I don't drink no mothafuckin' alize but bitches do. Now what would Michael need to make lil boys feel comfortable... a god damn amusement park?
Katt Williams: I was young. You know when you are young, you just do what you do. I can use my I.Q. now. I had a high I.Q as an 8 years old. So you know what was I gonna do with it. I was just trying to be impressive and not mess up.
Katt Williams: Improv is where a comic really gets to shine, if he is good. That’s as close as a comedian can get to the playoffs. I went through those years were I wanted to be the funny comic, now I’m trying to be the greatest comic of my time.
Katt Williams: I’m on the grind 23/6. The blessing now is that I got the gift and I got the thing to work the gift and I got the reason to be working.
Katt Williams: Everything, everywhere is comedy material. To watch and view the world via television, newspapers, movies and music translate our world into funny. There is no subject where funny doesn’t exist.
Katt Williams: I’m in the great comedian lane. Once you’re in that lane, that’s just the beginning of it. The getting there is the journey.
Katt Williams: I have eight children, seven adopted. When my son Micah was born, it changed my life. Every week when I’m able to clothe and feed my family, pay my staff and travel around the world solely on the strength of comedy, that is my greatest accomplishment.
Katt Williams: My goal is to build a comedy empire and help restore dignity to our profession. It’s the best I ever feel when I’m on stage, putting the thoughts from my head into those of an audience. Applause is my drug of choice.
So what is your character Rickey up to in First Sunday?
KATT WILLIAMS: He's a choir director. And a choir director in African American churches, is an important and a thankless occupation. But they're some of the most colorful characters in church.
And I tried to do just as much as I could do comically with him, and yet not make it as stereotypical as it could have been. I needed to understand the guy, and have him be a real guy to me in my head.
What made you go for First Sunday?
KATT WILLIAMS: Well, I'm a father first. And I was attracted to the fact that they were allowing me to do something as close to good wholesome fare that I was apt to do for a while! And the check made it possible to do some other things. So I felt good. And the kids were happy. And the check was nice!
But nobody's trying to be the wild pistol, nobody's trying to milk laughs. We tried to make sure we nailed our parts. That kind of atmosphere helps out, I think. So nobody's been outrageous. Everybody wants to do it right, nobody's been wild at all. And if somebody has been, it's probably been me!
Were you the one who picked out those clothes of yours for the movie?
KATT WILLIAMS: Well, however many fans I have - and I thank all thirty-six of them! - they're fans of certain things about me. And one of those things is a dress marriage. So my dress has to match whatever I'm doing.
So I did make sure that I was comfortable with what he had on. You know, you don't usurp wardrobe's job, but you want to make it where you buy the character first. Because that's the first part of elementary acting. Which is where I'm at.
Did it feel weird to shoot in a church?
KATT WILLIAMS: Well, at first it was a little difficult. But not as much as it could be. Because lots of movies have been shot in churches, and done far worse! Like being killed in churches.
But after the fourth day, I think I really came to grips with the fact and said okay, we're filming. And even if this is particularly God's house right here, He wouldn't stay while we shot a movie here! He would go somewhere. So after the fourth day, I was good.
What's it like making movies with Ice Cube?
KATT WILLIAMS: It's an atmosphere of fear! For me, that's what it is. I can hear him calling me right now! No, Cube is probably one of the most professional people I've ever met. And he runs a tight, yet not constricting set. It's organized and it's by the books, as far as being fundamentally sound.
You know, there's no extra BS. It's about good attitude and work. So I've been blessed. This is my second time working with Cube, and he's been very consistent. So it was a good situation.
How different was it doing First Sunday with Cube, from your last movie with him as Money Mike in Friday After Next?
KATT WILLIAMS: Money Mike was a pimp. Being a pimp and a choir director, there's a little bit of range between those two worlds. You would hope! Otherwise I've just murdered the entire film. That's the beauty of being a comic. There's not a lot of brain surgery to be done.
You know, it's just important that I make sure whatever character I'm doing is funny, and appropriate for that character. And there were a lot of decisions for me, as far as what the character was going to look like, and sound like. And his mannerisms are just as detailed, if not more so, than the Monkey Mike character.
Is it tough going from standup to the big screen?
KATT WILLIAMS: No. Vulgar things pop into my head, because that's the form for that! Things go based upon your category, so that's standup. And the reason it's important that I have some sort of an acting career, is so I can do other things. Otherwise I would only be duplicating what I do in standup.
But the same pacing has to exist. It's just that in standup, it's all about the flow and the ebb of where you're going and whether you sustain that, or break it down. And with acting, it's the same thing for me.
But it's very difficut where your character is crying, and then they go cut and you go off Saturday and Sunday to DC and Chicago and fly back, and okay, I'm crying again. But I guess that's why they pay you as well as they do! So I am rapidly getting into mine.
But yeah, this is currently a departure. And you know, my kids are from eighteen months months to eleven years old, so it's important to do some piece of a body of work that they could actually...go to the red carpet for!
Anything exciting coming up in the future?
KATT WILLIAMS: Yeah, Eddie Murphy and I are writing our next two projects. We've been hard at work at that for DreamWorks. And Pimp Chronicles 2, that's going theatrical. So there's enough stuff going around to keep me busy.
But having kids has taught me not to be desperate. I don't even want a part that I don't get. Because it must be some other guy's part. How stupid am I gonna feel, if I get this guy's part and he was supposed to get it, and I'm a loser in the end anyway.
Any thoughts about doing a leading man?
KATT WILLIAMS: Nooo...The truth of the matter is, that I've been doing fine as a supporting person. If my job is to make things funnier from a supporting role, then I just need to be the king of supporting roles.
What do you say to critics of your pimp persona? And you have eight children--how do you handle this image with them?
Katt Williams: First of all, as an actor of any caliber, you have to come to grips with that answer for yourself. There are a myriad of jobs in entertainment that you have to do in certain situations. As far as the pimp scenario, my kids between the ages of 9 and 11 understand that I don't perpetuate the attitude of superiority of a man over a woman. They know they don't see me hitting women and talking to women any kind of way. So it's never a contradictory thing for my kids, because they see how their father really feels. Everything outside of the house is an act, and that's what they go by.
What about the argument that women, especially the scantily clad women in hip-hop videos, are being degraded?
Katt Williams: Being degraded? Is she being degraded by her paycheck? Is her W-9 degrading her? Because that's how she feeds her family. Now maybe the people who have a problem with it should call that video girl and offer her something else to do for that same amount of money in that amount of time. And maybe she would do that. But you can't answer for how somebody else has decided to make their living.
That speaks to why the women do it. But why do the artists perpetuate it?
Katt Williams: We're not saying that about Sports Illustrated are we? How they degrade those poor women, having them wear those skimpy bathing suits in their magazine, putting them out there like that and parading them on the beach. They're not saying that, are they? I try to be a realist. And the realist in me understands that sex sells. So the reason that there are those beautiful, scantily clad women in videos is because people like to see it, especially men. You can't fault all of hip-hop for that.
Do they have to go hand in hand? Couldn't hip-hop stand on its own if they took all that out?
Katt Williams: There's no need of even getting into that argument. Once you start doing the removing, once you start censoring, then it goes across the board. First it's, "Let's remove these women from the videos." Then, "We don't like what the rappers are saying, so they can't say that." Now you have a whole separate art form. You don't have hip-hop anymore, you have pop music. You got guys not saying how they feel, not using a certain type of language, not dressing a certain way, and not doing things they are accustomed to doing. That's not what hip-hop was based on. Hip-hop was based on freedom. Raw, uncensored, and free--that's what hip-hop was all about.
But hip-hop has changed a lot since its inception. Do you think it has evolved for the better?
Katt Williams: Probably not. Has hip-hop changed? Of course it has. Has it become a lot worse? In some respects, it has. On the other hand, when hip-hop started, hip-hop was feeding, what, 10 people? And now hip-hop is feeding tens of millions of people. Stores like Champs and Finish Line, they're doing better because of hip-hop's influence. And the directors of companies who don't even like rap music, their kids are going to college because of hip-hop.
So you think it has become commercialized?
Katt Williams: It would have to become commercialized in order for it to work. We say commercialized like it's a bad word, but there is no business that doesn't have to be commercialized. That's what the commercials are for.
You say you want to help restore dignity to your profession. What do you think took the dignity away from comedy?
Katt Williams: It just got really oversaturated. And when everyone was reduced to a seven-minute clips and they started making audiences stand up at the end of people's performances rather than having to earn a standing ovation, it kind of watered down our profession.
You're from Ohio, and Dave Chappelle lives there too. Is there something about Ohio that breeds funny people?
Katt Williams: You get exposed to a lot there, just from the fact that, more so than anywhere else in the country, it's more than likely that your next-door neighbor to the left is white, and the neighbor to the right is black or Hispanic. In a lot of larger places or more cosmopolitan places, the black people live in one area, the white people live in one area and the Hispanic people live in another area. It's much more diverse in Ohio, especially from an artistic standpoint. Even on the radio-when we were coming up, we'd hear Phil Collins, and then the next song would be the Gap Band.
During your appearances on MTV's improv show, Wild 'N Out, your hairstyles have been the topic of a few conversations. How'd you decide to wear your hair like that?
Katt Williams: Honestly, I could care less. I'm a grown man. I do whatever I feel like doing with my hair. And if for some reason you feel like there's a magnet and you should have something to say to me, then more power to you. I hope you're prepared.
You talk a lot in your act about being a pimp. What makes someone as a pimp?
Katt Williams: Well, actually, I don't talk very much about being a pimp in my act. Do I have a pimp joke in particular that you were thinking about?
No, but I saw you talking about it on Def Comedy Jam, and your most famous character is the pimp "Money Mike" from Friday After Next, and your stand-up special is called "The Pimp Chronicles," and you play a pimp in Norbit. So what do you think qualifies someone as a pimp?
Katt Williams: I really couldn't answer that. I don't know. I don't know what qualifies you. There's only winning and losing, and in our society, as in all societies, there's the person that's doing the winning, or there's the person that's facilitating the winning. Pimping and hoing isn't about putting women on the street-that's kind of antiquated. We're at a different level, and we're trying to make the best out of whatever situation possible. So if the manager at your job is making more money than you and doing less work than you, that's pimping. So you just have to find your own answer to that question individually.
In Norbit, you play a pimp named "Lord Have Mercy." What's that character all about?
Katt Williams: Eddie Griffin and I play these retired pimps who are in this small town and they're trying to change their lives, so they've opened up stores and restaurants and they're trying to buy into the town.
Was it tough to act opposite Eddie Murphy while he was in costume as, say, a 400-pound woman?
Katt Williams: The thing was, his stand-in had to be dressed like him, and the costumes are so realistic that" you wouldn't know it was him on the set. It was like, "Is that Eddie, or was that his stand-in?"
How did you get started in comedy?
Katt Williams: Well, I'm still working on it. I started in earnest when I was 21, so I've done 10 years in the business trying to get it together. But that's the beautiful thing about stand-up. It's much like being one of those guys who works on the wildlife shows: you live the life of the Crocodile Hunter. It's beautiful when it's beautiful and it's awful when it's awful.
Katt Williams was born September 2nd in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was raised in Dayton, and when he left home, he voyaged from place to place in order to make a living for himself. Because he was such an intelligent child, he became very inventive in his methods to support himself. This included selling magazines door to door, and pretending to be a comedian at a Florida night club, even though he was under age.
The audience was extremely responsive to his natural talent, and he then realized that it was a possibility to make a living performing stand-up comedy. In 1995, Katt became a father and his life then changed forever. “Having no legal skills and having an aversion to manual labor, my options weren’t that great. I was a single father and I had constant motivation”.
He and his son traveled to a variety of places in order to perform comedy for small amounts of money. Needless to say, this was extremely difficult for a single parent. He has since adopted children, which has also been a source of tireless motivation. Katt Williams began to perform in “White rooms” all across the country.
Although his reputation grew, he had not yet achieved his goals in the comedy realm. In 1999, Katt moved to Los Angeles, California, and within a year and a half, became a respected presence in the local comedy clubs. Performing at places like the Laugh Factory, The Improv, The Comedy Store, and The Icehouse, allowed him to host his own comedy room at the Hollywood Park Casino.
In the summer of 2001, he was awarded Cedric the Entertainer’s Anheiser-Busch “Best Los Angeles Comic’s Award. In October of 2001, Katt went on his first theatrical audition at New Line Cinema for Friday After Next, and landed the role of “Money Mike“, which has contributed to a large portion of his fan base.
Since then, Katt has appeared in a variety of television shows, such as The Tracy Morgan Show, My Wife and Kids, NYPD Blue, Cuts, Girlfriends, and is currently on the number one show on MTV, Wild ‘N Out with Nick Cannon. He has also provided numerous skits and video appearances for artists such as Ludacris, E-40, Outkast, Lil’ Kim, Lyfe Jennings, Nick Cannon, Suga Free, Lil‘ Scrappy, and a variety of other up and coming artists. He is also sponsored by several corporations such as Capri Jewelers (Phoenix, AZ) and T-Mobile (Urban World Wireless).
Katt Williams is currently preparing for the release of his new rap/comedy album with Universal Records which is a collaboration with several well known artists. He will also be on his own comedy tour which begins the first part of 2006.
Exceptional American comedian/actor Katt Williams was born on August 27,
1973, in Cincinnati, Ohio, but was raised in Dayton. In his teen years,
Katt performed on the stand-up comedy circuits of Florida, Oklahoma, New
Orleans and Sacramento. Then in 2002, he landed a role on the police drama "NYPD
Blue," which led to roles on the television shows "The Tracy
Morgan Show," "The Boondocks" and "My Wife and Kids." His
movie credits include "Ganked," "Treasure n Tha Hood" and "Rebound," but
he is most famous for his role as 'Money Mike' in the comedy "Friday
After Next." 'Money Mike' also has appeared in sitcoms, comedy skits,
and videos for the artists Lil' Kim, E40, Ludacris and Outkast. Katt has
one son named Micah, as well as six adopted children.
An outrageous comedian who clearly pulls from such influences as Eddie
Murphy and Richard Pryor -- but somehow ups the irreverence quotient many
times over -- standup comic-turned-actor Katt Williams built a career vulgarly
riffing on such subjects as Michael Jackson, middle-American evangelism,
the incarceration of Martha Stewart, and the ironies of race in America
(a favorite topic that found him making fervent use of incendiary epithets),
to name only a few touchstones -- all of which gave him a widespread and
loyal following, particularly among young African-American males. Born
in Cincinnati, OH, but raised in nearby Dayton, Williams grew up as the
child of politically and socially active parents and received outstanding
grades and a slew of academic honors in school. In his late teens, he moved
to San Francisco and temporarily joined the Nation of Islam, meanwhile
honing a standup act at local nightclubs. Favorite venues that hosted Williams

he also became a staple on BET's standup programs.
In 2002, Williams accepted one of his first screen assignments with a small role (as Money Mike) in Marcus Raboy's Friday After Next. Five years later, Williams finally had the opportunity to team up onscreen with longtime idol Eddie Murphy, who cast him as Lord Have Mercy in the farce Norbit (2007). That same year, Williams appeared in a minor capacity in the gag-laden Epic Movie and displayed a more sober side in the family-oriented Christmas drama The Perfect Holiday. Meanwhile, the comic continually headlined standup performance films via such cable outlets as Comedy Central and HBO.

[Katt is pantomiming the following conversation from his childhood.] - Katt Williams Quote
Teacher: Katt, stand up.
Katt: ...Bitch I am standin' up." [speaking directly to the audience] I hate her so much, I really do.
Teacher: "Katt, spell 'kitchen'."
Katt: I tell you, I sounded it out as I had been instructed to do. Kit-chun, kit-chun. K-I-T, ch-ch, C-H-E-N.
Teacher: Very good, very good, spell 'Knife'
Katt: Once again, I sounded that motherfucker out. NNN-I-FUH-UH, NNN-I-FUH-UH. N-I-F-E
Teacher: No, I'm sorry, It's K-N-I-F-E. [pantomimes an incredulous look and looks down as if speaking to fellow classmates] This bitch is stupid,
she really is.
Katt: [raises hand] Yes, that would be kuh-nife. Kuh-kuh, kuh-nife.
[ Returns to speaking directly with the audience]
"This is what she told me in front of the whole class; she said, "The 'K' is silent." I said, "Then take that quiet motherfucker
out, it's confusing me." Right after class, I cut that bitch with a k-spoon. Just, what the fuck, is you talkin' 'bout!?"
"Math was my favorite subject, 'cause everything that bitch said I could verify." Two and two is four. [holds up four fingers on his right
hand and stares at them] ...Damn sure is. [does the same with his left hand] All the time nigga, all the time.
Then one day she just flipped the script; 3x + y = what? [pantomimes an incredulous look and looks down as if speaking to fellow classmates] This
bitch is still teaching, can you believe this shit? [raises hand] Did you know that some of them was letters!? Yes bitch, that's for words and sentences." -
