Earthquake made his way into the households and hearts of his loyal fanbase in the 90’s at the height of television programming for the urban comedian. Shows like BET’s Comic View, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, glimpses of Laffapalooza and Shaq’s All-Star Comedy Jam became fan favorites. Earthquake’s DVD collection of comedy specials made him the stand-out comedic talent of that era. Those specials include, About Got Damm Time, Walter Latham Presents, From the Outhouse to the Whitehouse and These Ain’t Jokes for Showtime. Never leaving a fan disappointed, ‘Quake’ (as he is affectionately known), quickly became a closer or multi-headliner fixture on some of the biggest tours in the country.
Quake’s career grew exponentially over the years, and he gravitated into mainstream media prominently featured on the coveted late-night talk show television circuit. In the past, he’s made appearances on shows the likes of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Howard Stern On Demand, Comedy Central’s Chelsea Handler, Conan O’Brien, Late Night with George Lopez for TBS and daytime talk show platforms such as The Real, The View and Sister Circle.

In addition to the television talk show circuit and digital platforms, Comedian Earthquake has been featured on primetime television as well.
