Establishing himself as a clean comic, his down home southern humor has made him a favorite in the nation’s top comedy venues. From intimate comedy clubs to sold out crowds at Madison Square Garden, the Universal Amphitheater and the Lincoln Center, Rickey’s unique style of humor resonates with his audiences unlike any other comic on the road today.
He has continued to please. In November of 2002, Rickey joined fellow heavyweight comedians D. L. Hughley, J. Anthony Brown, Bruce Bruce, Earthquake, and Sommore on the Latham Entertainment Presents Tour. This multi-city mega stadium tour, produced by Walter Latham of the Kings and Queens of Comedy, was a huge success. Walter Latham will be putting them back on tour in the fall of 2003 because of the demand of more comedy from the fans. Rickey also made his mark in the feature film arena, appearing in New Line Cinema’s ”Friday After Next”, which was released on November 22, 2002.
Best known as host of the 2000 season of BET’s ”ComicView”,Rickey led the show to its highest jump in ratings in the show’s ten-year history. BET then quickly signed Rickey to host “The Way We Do It” during the 2001-2002 season, and that show went on to become one of the top five shows on the network. It’s his genuine love of performing that has brought Rickey many accolades on stage, on camera and off. He was a guest presenter on the 2001 NAACP Image Awards and hosted the special awards banquet for the 2002 Stellar Gospel Music Awards. In his personal life, he finds time to devote to church, to charities, to the Big Brother Program and to family.

I am so angry! First Rickey only broadcasts from 5am-10am. I work from 8:30am to 5:30pm., which I know is not RIckey’s problem. I WOULD LIKE TO LISTEN TO RICKEY BETWEEN THESE TIMES. Is there any thing management & Rickey can do to broadcast between the REAL work hours? Boo Hoo

these events has caused stress on our marriage,finances,etc.. I was asked to take in my cousin’s two week old baby by cps,and I don’t know how im going to be able to take care of her,because I am not finanically stable at the moment.but do not want her in the system so I am going to take her.but to learn I will be getting evicted tuesday because we do not have the rent for this month.is a nightmare!!! I have tried to apply for local assistance but have not gotten far. I live in a small town called gainesville,tx and there is very few outreach ministies that help.I feel so ashamed to have gone this far to think you will have time to help me in this short of notice.but dispert times call for dispert measures. if you can PLEASE help me. I would be so happy to take the stress off of us even for a moment. we are always reaching out helping others but now that we need help,nobody is around. it is a very hurtful but I know God will take care of it,.Rickey please if you find in your heart to help us, I can be reached at 940-595-3917.

Hi Rickey Smiley, I really need your help to find out if this no good a** nigga fathered my lil boy. My child is 7 years old and rite now he is going through alot with his father and his wife. My baby has started going to counseling because he is having anger issues about his father turning his back on him after 7 years. His sorry a** got married 2 years ago and him and his wife decided that they were gone do a Home Paternity Test about 7 monthes ago, which attorney general says that the test is not accurate. Please help me to prove to him and his family that my lil boy is his.
