The episode kicks off with hosts Nick Cannon and Courtney Bee dealing out the jokes right away, welcoming comedy legend Lavell Crawford and his cousin, road manager, and Spades partner, Floyd "Big Black." When asked about the last time he got whooped at the table, Lavell shares a wild story about playing Spades at his uncle's house while surrounded by massive, stallion-sized dogs that made him too nervous to focus.

As the game heats up, the "Cut the Deck and Spill the Tea" questions bring pure chaos. Lavell boldly claims he writes great jokes while getting it on and passionately explains why he would rather fight 50 geese-sized men than risk getting kicked by a man-sized goose. Dropping some serious OG wisdom, Lavell shares the best advice he ever got from Rudy Ray Moore ("Use everything you got"), recalls struggling in front of 4,000 people in Oklahoma City, and reflects on career highs like winning a SAG Award for ‘Breaking Bad’ and walking past Oprah. Lavell also gives props to the new generation of internet comedians like King Bach for their daily hustle, then gets vulnerable about his weight loss journey and the wake-up call he had after eating 35 lemon pepper wings from Wingstop.
