![]() God was right to bless Williams because the blessings have trickled down to so many people. He once told Howard Stern that he’s adopted so many children because he promised himself that if he made it in comedy, he would help others. I’m kidding - Williams has adopted seven children so he’s making a difference in many lives. I’m sure that when God looks down on Williams and sees him using all those blessings to, uh, tell jokes about being a pimp, God might question if he made the right decision.

Williams says he slept in a homeless encampment in Coconut Grove while spending his days in the library reading. He found his way to Florida where he was homeless for about four years. On “ WTF With Marc Maron,” he said that he did not mesh with the tight strictures of the religion so he had himself emancipated and left his parents’ home in Ohio when he was 13. Williams had numerous arguments with his parents, who were Jehovah’s Witnesses. The clip was funny but Katt's Prince impersonation wasn't as good as the one Eddie Griffin did. ![]() Williams may be like that given that his personal life has been difficult.
